(4)Quench Oil Classification3.1.15 accelerated quenching oil, nalso referred to as afast or high-speed oil, these are oils that contain additions thatfacilitate collapse of the vapor blanket surrounding the hotmetal immediately upon immersion into the quenching oil, asshown in Fig

25、. 3.3.1.16 conventional quenching oil, nalso called slow oils,these oils typically exhibit substantial film-boiling characteris-tics, commonly referred to as vapor blanket cooling due torelatively stable vapor blanket formation, illustrated mechanis-tically in Fig. 2.3.1.17 marquenching oils, nalso

26、referred to as mar-quenching oils or hot oils, these oils are typically used attemperatures between 95 to 230C (203 to 446F) and areusually formulated to optimize oxidative and thermal stabilityby the addition of antioxidants and because they are used atrelatively high temperatures, a protective or

27、non-oxidizingenvironment is often employed, which permits much higheruse temperatures than open-air conditions.3.1.18 quenching oil, nalthough usually derived from apetroleum oil, they may also be derived from natural oils suchas vegetable oils or synthetic oils such as poly(alpha olefin).They are u

28、sed to mediate heat transfer from a heated metal,such as austenitized steel, to control the microstructure that isformed upon cooling and also control distortion and minimizecracking which may accompany the cooling process.Cooling Curve Terminology3.1.19 cooling curve, na graphic representation of t

31、e purpose of the test methodlisted under Section 6. Use the most recent editions of the testmethods.5. Sampling5.1 Sampling UniformityFlow is never uniform in agi-tated quench tanks. There is always variation of flow rate andturbulence from top to bottom and across the tank. This meansthat there may

32、 be significant variations of particulate contami-nation including sludge from oil oxidation and metal scale. Foruniform sampling, a number of sampling recommendationshave been developed.5.1.1 Sampling Recommendations:5.1.1.1 Minimum Sampling TimeThe circulation pumpsshall be in operation for at lea

The sample shall be taken at the point of maximumflow turbulence. The position in the tank where the sample istaken shall be recorded.5.1

35、.1.3 Sampling ValvesIf a sample is taken from asampling valve, then sufficient quenching oil should be takenand discarded to ensure that the sampling valve and associatedpiping has been flushed, before the sample is taken.5.1.1.4 Sampling From Tanks With No AgitationIfsamples are to be taken from bu

36、lk storage tank or a quench tankwith no agitation, then samples shall be taken from the top andbottom of the bulk system or quench tank. If this is not possibleand the sample can only be taken from the top, then thelaboratory report shall state that the results represent a sampletaken from the top o

37、f the bulk system or quench tank and maynot be representative of the total system.5.1.1.5 Effect of Quenching Oil Addition as Make-Up Dueto DragoutIt is important to determine the quantity andfrequency of new quenchant additions, as large additions ofnew quench oil will have an effect on the test re

38、sults, inparticular the cooling curve. If a sample was taken just after alarge addition of new quench oil, this shall be taken intoconsideration when interpreting the cooling curve of this oilsample.5.1.1.6 Sampling ContainersSamples shall be collected innew containers. Under no circumstances shall

Recommended Test Procedures6.1 Performance-Related Physical and Chemical Proper-ties:6.1.1 Kinematic Viscosity, (Test Method D445)The per-formance of a quench oil is dependent on its viscosity, whichvaries with temperature and oil deterioration during continueduse. Increased oil

41、 viscosity typically results in decreased heattransfer rates. (6) Oil viscosity varies with temperature whichaffects heat transfer rates throughout the process.6.1.1.1 The flow velocity of a quench oil depends on bothviscosity and temperature. Some quench oils are used at highertemperatures, such as

42、 martempering oils, also known ashot-oils. Although the viscosity of a martempering oil may notfluctuate substantially at elevated temperatures, the oil maybecome almost solid upon cooling. Thus, the viscosity-temperature relationship (viscosity index) of a quench oil maybe critically important from

43、 the dual standpoint of quenchseverity and flow velocity.6.1.1.2 Typically kinematic viscosity determination by TestMethod D445 is used. Viscosity measurements are made at40C (104F) for conventional or accelerated oils and also at100C (212F) for martempering oils.6.1.2 Flash Point and Fire Point (Te

44、st Method D92)Useof a quench oil in an open system with no protective atmo-sphere shall be at least 60 to 65C lower than its actual opencup flash point to minimize the potential for fire. Generalguidelines have been developed for use-temperatures of aquench oil relative to its flash point.NOTE 1Ther

45、e are various manufacturer-dependent guidelines forrelating the suitability for use of a used quenching oil with respect to itsflash point and they shall be followed. In the absence of such guidelines,it is recommended that the use temperature of a quenching oil in an opensystem with no protective a

46、tmosphere shall be more than 60 to 65C (140to 149F) below its actual open-cup flash point. In closed systems wherea protective atmosphere is used, the use temperature of the used quenchingoil shall be at least 35C (95F) lower than its actual open-cup flash point.6.1.3 Density (Test Methods D1298 and

47、 D4052)The den-sity of materials of similar volatility is dependent on thechemical composition, and in the case of quenching oils, thetype of basestock used in formulation. The oxidative stabilityof quenching oils is also dependent on similar chemicalcomposition trends, and thus density (or relative

48、 density) is anindirect indicator of oxidative stability. Density (or relativedensity) is measured at, or converted to, a standard referencetemperature, normally either 15C or 60/60F, and these shouldbe quoted alongside the result.6.1.3.1 Test Method D1298 uses a hydrometer plus ther-mometer for mea

49、surement while Test Method D4052 uses adigital density meter based on an oscillating U-tube.NOTE 2Density or relative density are of limited value in theassessment of quality of a quenching oil.6.2 Aged Fluid PropertiesIn addition to significantchanges in fluid viscosity, oil degradation by thermal andoxidative processes may result in the formation of undesirablelevels of volatile by-products, sludge formation, metal-stainingproducts and particulates, all of which may result in loss ofcontrol of the quenching process.6.2.1 A
