I am a pharmaceutical chemist. Not to be confused with the pharmacist that just counts and pours medication. We compound medications for patients with specific needs. I was making some medication and got to thinking about things that could possibly be used as a quenchant.
Propylene Glycol is miscible in water. Has anyone ever tried adding propylene glycol to water and quenching W-1 or W-2 steel?
Has anyone tried PEG 300 (polyethylene glycol 300) mixed with propylene glycol or mineral oil as a quenchant for O-1 steel?
Lots of possibilities. I just don't want to go down a road that someone has already been down.
