Conclusions

Studies of new water-based quenchants with additions of water-soluble organic polymer (polyethylene oxide) showed that with concentration of 0.12 and 0.25% the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of plates of alloy D16 are practically the same as after quenching in water, but there is four to five times less warping.
