AAA Quench Oil – 1 Gallon Jug

AAA QUENCH OIL is designed to provide maximum cooling rates for austenitized steels. Its formulation guarantees good stability since the mineral base intensifier won’t saponify, stratify, nor filter out. Caution: All quench oils are flammable. Be prepared to smother a fire in your quench oil container must your oil reach Flash Point. Never quench the usage of a plastic container to hold your quench oil! Hot metal can melt a hole in plastic and the oil leak from the hole can spread flaming oil around your shop! Keep a fire extinguisher close by. We suggest checking the temperature of your oil as you use it. Overheated quench oil reduces the life cycle of the product. In most cases, AAA works best with oil pre-heated to around 120°F.

Appearance: Light Amber Oil, Viscosity @ 100°F: 14.0 – 19.3 cSt
Nickel Ball Time: 9 – 11 seconds, Flash Point: > 340°F
Parks AAA is thought of as a medium to medium fast oil. Repeatedly a quench oil is described in seconds quenching the usage of a Nickel Ball test. The Nickel Ball quench time is 9-11 seconds.
Typical steels to make use of with this quench oil formula include: O1, 5160, 1080, 1084. Many others steels the usage of “medium” speed (there is not any hard and fast definition of “fast” or “medium”) can be appropriate with this quench oil.
