Antoine Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 Hello, What do you think of this quench oil Sorry, it is only in french, but look in section III I was told it is a fast oil, but how fast? Thank's a lot! Antoine http://antoinemarcal.wordpress.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory Lirot Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 it looks fast, but my french is worse then my forging ask the seller how fast it is (like 28 second quench or 11 second quench). i don't know what else to say, but it looks like it will work for oil hardening steels.

Antoine Posted May 2, 2010 Author Share Posted May 2, 2010 Thank you, I've checked Park 50 to compare and the only thing I saw was viscosity at 100 celcius: 45 The oil quench I posted list viscosity at 40 celcius 15 to 20.... But I'm not sure how it compares. I'll call them! Thank's! Antoine http://antoinemarcal.wordpress.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory Lirot Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 i just did some quick math and the viscosity is the same (i used an average of 18 for the oil in question). that is if i did my math right. veggie oil or cheap mineral oil will work pretty well too.

Geno Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I use one part diesel fuel to 3 parts 30 weight motor oil. I got this from either a knife book or one of the knife making videos out there. Works just great on 5160 type steel! Geno God bless the USA and all who protect her!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also wouldnt use motor oil either because of the additives and stuff that is in the oil for lubrication. A straight mineral with low viscosity will get you the speed you want a lot safer. D.
