Abstract

Numerous criteria have been suggested for evaluating the cooling capacity of quenching media. Although the cooling capacity of a medium can hardly be evaluated by a single number, such data can be helpful in the initial stage of choosing the medium for quenching a specific part. Various criteria for evaluating the cooling capacity of polymer quenching media have been analyzed within the developed international standard based on ISO 9950 (for industrial quenchants). Those that can be calculated from results of tests of a medium by means of a Wolfson gauge, recommended by the ISO 9950 standard, have been chosen. The aim of the present work consists in determining the correlation between the criteria suggested by various researchers for various domestic and foreign quenching liquids on a polymer base.
