Actions

• •Initiate studies to understand the cooling mechanism and the underlying properties that impact on cooling behaviour.
• •Understand the reasons for NOA’s higher quenching capabilities compared to soap-based technology. NOA quenching properties appear to remain constant over time.
• •Review work done by Kris Januszkiewicz on Leidenfrost characterization of emulsions.
• •Contact Scott McKenzie to understand the work done on quenching capabilities / surface wetting properties.
• •Involve the quenching specialists (heat treatment) team in these studies.
• •Study the research findings from Houghton Japan (Taka) and the testing conditions.
• •Develop a reliable and representative testing method. Look at the set-up used by Metalworking.
• •Investigate cooperation with spray nozzle suppliers to develop test set-up and procedures.
