The quenching tank should be installed after the machining process, usually after cutting and before preheating.

1. What is a quenching tank?

The quenching tank is a tool used in the quenching process. It is usually made of high-quality alloy materials. It has the characteristics of high hardness and high corrosion resistance. It is widely used in various machinery manufacturing industries. The main function of the quenching tank is to completely immerse the workpiece in the quenching medium during quenching, so that the surface of the workpiece can be quickly cooled to achieve the purpose of hardening.

2. Where should the quenching tank be installed?

As an important part of the quenching process, the installation location of the quenching tank is also very important. Generally speaking, the quenching tank should be installed after the machining process, usually after cutting and before preheating. In machining, after cutting, a certain amount of heat will remain on the metal surface. At this time, putting the workpiece into the quenching tank can quickly reduce the surface temperature of the workpiece to below the quenching temperature, so that the workpiece can achieve the purpose of hardening.

3. Quenching tank installation method

There are many ways to install the quenching tank. The most common one is fixed installation. The quenching tank is at the same height as the plane of the machine tool spindle. The workpiece is directly placed in the quenching tank and then the quenching process is carried out. In addition, there is also mobile installation, that is, the quenching tank is fixed on the machine tool, and the quenching liquid is pumped into the quenching tank. The quenching liquid circulates and flows, so that the surface of the workpiece is more evenly covered by the quenching medium. This installation method is suitable for processing work on large machine tools.
