  • Patent number: 11180817
    Abstract: Provided is a water-based quenching liquid composition which is slow in a cooling rate and is able to suppress quenching crack. The water-based quenching liquid composition is one containing water (A), a linear polyalkylene glycol compound (B), and a branched polyhydric alcohol alkylene oxide adduct (C), wherein the linear polyalkylene glycol compound (B) has a mass average molecular weight of 10,000 or more, and the branched polyhydric alcohol alkylene oxide adduct (C) is a mixed adduct of alkylene oxides having 2 to 3 carbon atoms and has a mass average molecular weight of 10,000 or more.

  • Publication number: 20210009917
    Abstract: A heat-treatment oil composition can make it possible to achieve both high quenching hardness and reduced quenching distortion. A heat-treatment oil composition may include a base oil (A) and a vapor film rupturing agent (B). The heat-treatment oil composition may make it such that, on a cooling curve obtained in accordance with the cooling performance test method in JIS K2242:2012, the time in seconds to 300° C., e.g., the cooling time from 800 to 300° C., is less than 6 seconds. Component (B) may include a petroleum resin.
