Quenching oils
Castrol offers a range of quenching fluids for various processes used in different industries
Quenching is an integral and important application of the value chain within several industrial manufacturing processes of metal parts.
As it is a controlled metallurgical process that alters the microstructure of treated metal part it changes the physical properties and enhances the quality of the component in terms of hardness, strength and ductility.
At Castrol, we focus on product compatibility throughout metalworking processes. CASTROL ILOQUENCH™ series offers you a comprehensive range of quenching fluids for ferrous metals that can help you to achieve:
- Consistent quenching performance and metallurgical standards of output
