CASTROL Iloquench 455
Quenching Oils
Iloquench 455 is a premium quality, low viscosity cold quenching oil.
Iloquench 455 has been formulated primarily for use with heavy components made of deep case-hardened or low hardenability steels, low alloyed steel parts, nuts and bolts, blanked parts, bearing units.
It can be used in furnaces with integrated tanks as open tanks and after salt bath process.
It contains an additive package that provides excellent detergency properties, thermal stability and accelerated quenching characteristics compared to straight mineral quenching oils. The combination of base oils and additives ensures brighter as-quenched components, free from carbonaceous deposits.
The wide boiling range of Ilquench 455 helps to increase productivity through possible reduction of case-hardening or carbonitriding times while keeping required hardness for a lower carbon content.
The high severity of quench allows lower alloy steels to be used, which aids steel cost savings while obtaining equivalant mechanical properties to those provided by using a conventional quenching oil.
Recommended temperature of use open to athmosphere: 30 - 70 °C
Recommended temperature of use under controlled athmosphere (inert gas): 50 - 100 °C
Avoid water entry into storage tanks or quench baths.
Iloquench 455 has high flash point which reduces fire risk.
Technical data:
Density at 15 °C: 870 kg/m3
Kinematic viscosity at 40 °C: 30 mm2/sec
Flash point, open cup method: >200 °C
Total acid number: <1 mg KOH/g
Water content: <500 ppm
