Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of quenching oil, and particularly relates to a cold and hot quenching oil. BACKGROUND

[0002] Quenching treatment is an important method of heat treatment of metal materials. After a metal material workpiece is heated to an austenitizing temperature, a martensite structure is obtained through fast cooling, so as to improve the mechanical properties of the material. The cooling characteristics of the quenching medium play a key role in the quenching process. The hardening capacity of the quenching medium directly affects the maximum hardness and the depth of the hardening layer that the workpiece can achieve after being treated by the quenching medium.

[0003] In the quenching process, because the temperature of the workpiece itself is high and the temperature of the quenching medium is relatively low (cold oil, 40-70℃), a large temperature difference can be achieved to realize the martensitic transformation of the workpiece structure. However, the large temperature difference will make the cooling speed of the surface layer of the workpiece much greater than that of the core, and the temperature difference between the two will cause a large thermal stress of the workpiece, resulting in a certain degree of deformation of the workpiece. Therefore, in order to reduce the deformation of the workpiece, the quenching oil is often heated to increase the use temperature (hot oil, 120-160℃).

[0004] The graded quenching oil or hot oil is used at high temperature, which can effectively reduce the temperature difference between the surface and the core of the workpiece, thereby significantly reducing the quenching deformation of the workpiece. However, the cooling capacity of the graded oil or hot oil is low, and it can only be used for workpieces with high hardenability or small size. Although the cold oil can ensure the hardenability of workpieces with low hardenability or large size, the thermal stress generated in the quenching process will also cause deformation of the workpiece, and it cannot be applied to workpieces with high precision requirements.

[0005] Based on the test method and results of the IVF tester, SEGERBERG proposed a calculation formula for estimating the hardening capacity of quenching oil HP (Hardening Power): HP = 91.5 + 1.34Tvp + 10.88CR - 3.85Tcp. Among them, Tvp is the upper characteristic temperature, CR is the cooling speed at 550℃, and Tcp is the lower characteristic temperature. For general cold and hot quenching oil, in order to reduce the thermal stress of the workpiece, the cooling speed of the oil is often low, resulting in a low HP value (<1000) and limited hardening capacity, which needs to be improved. SUMMARY

[0006] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the purpose of the present application is to provide a cold and hot quenching oil. The quenching oil not only increases the cooling speed at high temperature, which can make the supercooled austenite reach the martensite transformation temperature zone at a relatively high cooling speed, but also reduces the cooling speed at low temperature, which can reduce the thermal stress and thermal deformation, and has good hardening and hardenability.

[0007] To achieve this purpose, the present application adopts the following technical solutions:

[0008] In a first aspect, the present application provides a quenching oil for both hot and cold, the quenching oil comprising the following components by mass percentage:

[0086] Performance test

[0087] The performance of the quenching oil provided by the above examples and comparative examples is tested, and the test method is as follows:

[0088] Kinematic viscosity: GB / T 265-1988;

[0089] Open flash point: GB / T 265-1988;

[0090] Oxidation stability: SHT 0193-1992;

[0091] Brightness: SH / T 0564-1993;

[0092] Cooling characteristics: tested by IVF cooling characteristics tester, and the test temperature range is 850℃-120℃.

[0093] The results of the above tests are shown in Table 1 below:

[0094] Table 1

[0095]

[0096]

[0097] As can be seen from the test results in Table 1, the quenching oil provided by the examples has a higher maximum cooling rate and HP value, and has good hardening and through hardening capacity.

[0098] Compared with Example 1, Comparative Examples 1-4 use 150N mineral oil or paraffin-based 10# white oil as the base oil alone, or the mass ratio of the two exceeds the range of 1:(1.2-1.7), resulting in a decrease in the maximum cooling rate and the high-temperature cooling rate of the obtained quenching oil, an increase in the low-temperature cooling rate, a decrease in the HP value, and a decrease in the hardening and through hardening performance.

[0099] Compared with Example 1, Comparative Examples 5-6 use polyisobutylene or petroleum sulfonate as the rapid cooling agent alone, resulting in a decrease in the maximum cooling rate and the high-temperature cooling rate of the obtained quenching oil, a decrease in the HP value, and a decrease in the hardening and through hardening performance.

[0100] Compared with Example 1, the quenching oil of Comparative Example 7-8 has lower oxidation resistance, and the maximum cooling rate, the cooling rate in high temperature section, the HP value and the hardenability are also decreased due to the use of only phenolic antioxidant or amine antioxidant. The quenching oil of Comparative Example 9 has lower oxidation resistance than that of Comparative Example 7-8, and the maximum cooling rate, the cooling rate in high temperature section, the HP value and the hardenability are also decreased due to the use of 2,6-di-tert-butyl-p-cresol instead of calcium sulfide alkyl phenol.

[0101] Compared with Example 1, the quenching oil of Comparative Example 10 has lower HP value and poor hardenability due to the use of no polyisobutylene succinimide dispersant.

[0102] Compared with Example 1, the quenching oil of Comparative Example 11 has lower maximum cooling rate and cooling rate in high temperature section, higher cooling rate in low temperature section, lower HP value and poor hardenability due to the use of 100N mineral oil instead of 150N mineral oil.

[0103] The above description is merely that of the specific embodiments of the present disclosure to enable a person skilled in the art to understand or implement the present disclosure. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the generic principles defined herein can be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present disclosure.
