How will evolving trends contribute to the growth of the quenching oil market?
Major companies operating in the quenching oil market are focusing on developing advanced heat treatment oil solutions to meet the evolving demands of precision manufacturing processes. Heat treatment oil solution is a specialized oil used in the heat treatment of metals, particularly during quenching, to quickly cool heated metal components. This oil regulates the cooling rate, which is essential for achieving the desired hardness, strength, and overall mechanical properties of the material. For instance, in February 2023, Solar Atmospheres, Inc., a US-based heat treatment company, received approval for the oil quenching of alloy steels following Boeing’s specification BAC 5617. The Neo vacuum chamber uses work thermocouples to heat parts. After heating, the parts are transferred to a vacuum-protected vestibule within 20 seconds. Finally, a maximum load of 2,000 pounds is immersed in a 3,000-gallon agitated oil quench bath.
