Comparative example 1
Commercially available water-based PAG (polyethers) products.
The cooling capacity of the thermal characteristics of the quenching liquid was tested by the cooling curve method. ISO9950 is adopted, and the probe is made of nickel-chromium alloy, has the diameter of 12.5mm and the length of 60 mm. The quenching liquid addition concentration is controlled at 20%, the quenching liquid temperature is controlled at 40 ℃, the quenching liquid cooling capacity tests are respectively carried out on examples 1-4 and comparative example 1, and the test results are as follows:
TABLE 1 quenching Medium Cooling characteristics
According to the experimental results, the aqueous quenching liquid provided by the invention can be cooled rapidly in a high-temperature stage, and has a lower cooling rate in a low-temperature stage, and particularly, the example 4 shows more excellent quenching characteristics. Comparative example 1 although the cooling rate was faster in the high temperature stage, the cooling rate was also fast in the low temperature stage, which actually caused cracking of the workpiece during use. Therefore, compared with the water-based PAG (polyether) products sold in the market, the water-based quenching agent provided by the invention has the advantages of more reasonable cooling performance, high-temperature cooling speed, capability of improving the performance of the workpiece, slow low-temperature cooling speed and capability of preventing the workpiece from cracking and deforming.
