—
AAA QUENCH OIL can be used as a quench from any heating medium and is especially suitable for developing maximum oil-quenched hardnesses in medium and low alloy steels. It is widely used as a quenching medium for carbonitrided work where uniform quenching rates and clean, easily washed work are so important.
Without proper agitation and cooling a risk of fire exists. Operate only using “Bath Parameters”!
