Tempering Oil

Tempering oil is a type of oil that is used in the process of tempering, which is a heat treatment technique used to improve the mechanical properties of metals. It is classified under the supply class "Oils And Greases: Cutting, Lubricating, And Hydraulic" in the supply group "Fuels, Lubricants, Oils, And Waxes."

Tempering oil is specifically designed to withstand high temperatures and provide lubrication during the tempering process. It helps to prevent the metal from becoming brittle and enhances its toughness and strength. The oil acts as a medium for heat transfer and also helps to reduce friction between the metal and the tools or equipment used during tempering.

Different types of tempering oils are available, each with specific properties and characteristics suitable for different applications. It is important to choose the right type of tempering oil based on the specific metal being tempered and the desired outcome.

Overall, tempering oil plays a crucial role in the heat treatment process, ensuring that the metal achieves the desired mechanical properties while maintaining its integrity.
