Austenity Temp PO is a non-flammable quenching fluid, formulated as an aqueous solution of polymers and anticorrosive agents. The organic polymer is fully water-soluble, producing a clear, homogeneous solution.

It is recommended for parts quenched after forging, sensitive alloys, shapes heated by induction and parts processed in continuous or batch furnaces, where high quenching speeds are required. These speeds are normally achieved in oil, but here they come with the safety of a water base.

Its benefits include not forming nitrosamines, providing excellent protection up to the vapor phase, delivering greater uniformity in heat transfer, ensuring operational safety by being non-flammable and contributing to a cleaner working environment.

Applications

• Quenching of parts after forging
• Sensitive alloys and shapes heated by induction
• Parts processed in continuous or batch furnaces
• Operations requiring high quenching speeds without fire risk

Advantages

• Does not catch fire: the water base eliminates the fire risk of quenching oil.
• Does not form nitrosamines: safer for the operator and the environment.
• Uniform heat transfer: homogeneous cooling, less distortion.
• Cleaner environment: no smoke and no oily residue.
