Study of cooling properties new quenching media

Abstract

Abstract The paper presents the results of testing the cooling capacity of a number of quenching oils using the device “IVF SMART QUENCH” of the company [[CHECK_DOUBLEQUOT_ENT]] IVF [[CHECK_DOUBLEQUOT_ENT]] (Sweden). The tests were carried out in order to expand the range of suppliers, to find alternative quenching media that match the cooling characteristics of traditionally used quenching oils. Both new and traditionally used quenching oils for volumetric quenching were tested. The cooling capacity characteristics of the Voltes 16 and Voltes 26 quenching oils were tested in comparison with the Thermo Oil 16 and Thermo Oil 26 oils used. The characteristics of Thermo Oil 16 and Thermo Oil 26 quenching oils in the “before operation” state (selected from storage tanks) were evaluated, and in the “during operation” state (selected directly from the quenching tanks). Based on the results obtained, the quenching media Thermo Oil 16 and Thermo Oil 26 produced by “TNK Lubricants” LLC in Ryazan are recommended for further practical use. The paper uses methods of statistical data processing to determine the characteristics of the stability of technological processes - the reliability and suitability indices.
