Aqua-Quench 245, a polyalkylene glycol-based polymer, was formulated to be used for induction hardening of high hardenability steel alloy parts such as gears, shafts, crankshafts, camshafts, ...

Cold-work steels are high carbon steels containing low alloy additions of molybdenum, tungsten, chromium and manganese. The additions of these alloys allow oil quenching with less distortion and they ...

According to the Metal Powder Industries Federation (MPIF) Standard 35, sinter hardening is quench hardening during the cooling cycle of the sintering furnace. Accelerated cooling is applied to the ...

The water hardening types of tool steel are covered by AS1239 ‘W’ grades and these are shallow hardening. These steels contain around 1% carbon and may have small additions of vanadium for grain ...
