Metalworking Quenching Lubricants & Cooling Fluids: Enhance Your Metalworking Process
At Kernow Oils, we offer high-performance metalworking quenching lubricants and cooling fluids that keep your metalworking operations running smoothly. Our products are designed to optimize cooling and lubrication, improving efficiency, prolonging tool life, and delivering superior results. Whether you’re working with steel, aluminium, or other metals, our quenching lubricants ensure excellent performance in every application.
What Are Metalworking Quenching Lubricants?
Metalworking quenching lubricants cool hot metals quickly during the quenching process. This rapid cooling increases hardness and durability, enhancing material properties. During quenching, hot metal is submerged in a cooling medium, such as water, oil, or synthetic fluids. The right lubricant is key to achieving the desired characteristics, and it helps prevent defects like warping, cracking, or surface damage.
Why Metalworking Cooling Fluids Matter
Metalworking cooling fluids manage heat, providing controlled cooling during quenching. Without them, overheating could damage both tools and workpieces. Proper cooling ensures:
- Efficient Heat Transfer: Quenching oils help cool metals quickly and evenly.
- Smooth Surface Finish: The right fluids prevent discolouration and oxidation, delivering a cleaner result.
- Tool Protection: Cooling fluids reduce friction, decreasing wear and extending the life of your tools.
- Higher Quality: Our fluids help meet strict material standards, ensuring excellent product performance.
- Cost Savings: By extending equipment life and reducing defects, cooling fluids lower production costs.
Types of Metalworking Quenching Oils & Cooling Fluids
At Kernow Oils, we provide several types of quenching lubricants, each designed to meet specific needs:
-
Mineral Oil-Based Quenching Lubricants: Ideal for general quenching, these fluids provide excellent cooling and thermal stability. They last longer and are cost-effective for many applications.
-
Water-Based Quenching Lubricants: Water-based fluids cool metal rapidly and are ideal for steel and alloy quenching. They offer effective heat transfer for quick results.
-
Synthetic Quenching Lubricants: These fluids perform exceptionally well in high-precision operations. They reduce evaporation and maintain a stable cooling rate, ensuring consistent, high-quality results.
-
Low-Temperature Quenching Oils: Designed for parts needing slower cooling to avoid distortion, these oils provide controlled and even cooling.
