Quenchants
General-purpose, dedicated and ultra-fast quenchants
AR-GP covers the largest everyday volume; dedicated media address defined materials and large sections; AR-UHS provides ultra-fast cooling. Material, section, temperature, concentration, relative motion and tank capability set the final process.
AR-GP / GENERAL
General-purpose water-based quenchant
For everyday, high-volume heat treatment with concentration-adjustable cooling. Includes six performance curves for water and 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25% AR-GP.

AR-HCCI / DEDICATED
Water-based medium for HCCI
Quenchant and process matching for high-chromium cast-iron wear castings. Final concentration and cooling window are confirmed from chemistry, section, target structure and test conditions.

AR-SAG / DEDICATED
Dedicated medium for large Cr-Mo workpieces
For large medium/high-carbon Cr-Mo workpieces; cooling curves and the process can be developed for quenching or enhanced-normalizing objectives.

AR-UHS / ULTRA-FAST
Ultra-high-speed quenchant
View two measured cooling-characteristic records at report concentration 1:2 and 20°C; the process is confirmed against material, effective section, tank and flow.

FAQ
Technical questions
Answers are bounded by the material, workpiece, equipment and stated test conditions.
Can a quenchant be selected from maximum cooling rate alone?
No. Material hardenability, transformation ranges, effective section, target microstructure, bath temperature, concentration, relative motion, tank capacity and transfer must be reviewed together.
What data is needed for an initial selection?
Provide material grade or chemistry, drawing and section, mass, target structure and hardness, current furnace and process, tank conditions and the current defect or constraint.
Production footage
See the real boundary of an industrial quench
The footage shows lifting, transfer, immersion and bath response. It helps frame equipment and process questions, but it does not replace material, concentration, temperature, relative motion or inspection data.
Large-workpiece immersion and bath response
Watch the lifting attitude, transfer route, available tank space and response after immersion. Quenchant selection still depends on material, section and installed capacity.
Production footage records one workpiece, fixture and tank condition. Microstructure, hardness, distortion and cracking must be confirmed with data from the same production context.
