Found Quench Oil In Canada

I work for an industrial products supplier in Canada, today I found a supplier for a fast quench oil in Canada. The name of the oil is Wocoquench 1015, for 5 gallons the cost Is $200.00 CAD lead time is 14 days. We have 50 branches in Canada so if someone is interested to get some I could arrange to have it sent to a branch close to you for pick up or at the least cheaper shipping rates. I will attach the specs for this oil, so if anyone is interested please reach out to me and I will see what I can do for you.

Right on. And I never knew the word "quenchometer" existed. Learn something new everyday!

 

For you the closest branch is Motion Canada in nisku. You should build a quenchometer for the quenchant( all real words)

 

Tried to get that in Manitoba and they said no longer sold, good to hear otherwise

 

Is there a equal to #50 parks a six second oil. the stuff you linked is 10.5 seconds and faster can be better for some steels

 

John

I will check with them tomorrow and I will let you know what I find out

 

Matt, Is there anyone near Victoria that you can get some to?

 

The closest branch to Victoria is nanamio, so you can pick up there or pay for shipping from there. Let me know if you are interested I will give you the # to call for payment and ordering

 

Yeah, that works. I will be up there the weekend of the 20th and could pick it up.

 

call Tristin Dolan at (780)979-6132 she is the one that will arrange the sale and payment,

 

Thanks!

 

I was able to order it direct to my house, which was $10 less than to the closest distributor (Nanaimo). I'm looking forward to giving it a try. Thanks again for the lead Matt.

 

Just a heads up to those who are interested, I received my pail and was able to run about 30 knives though it so far. The knives come out very clean compared to Canola oil, and I generally have had great results with it. For some reason I'm getting more warps with this stuff compared to the Canola, but nothing I wasn't able to address during temper.

 

More warps due to the faster rate of cooling when compared to canola perhaps?

 

I assume so, yes, but its supposed to be 10.5s, which isn't much different than canola if I recall correctly.

 

Any word on the possibility of a faster oil more comparable to Parks 50?

 

I am still trying to find a parks 50 replacement

Sorry for the delay

 

Houghton Quench K (7-9) is equivalent to Parks 50 (7-9)
Wocoquench 1015(10.5) is equivalent to Parks AAA (9-11)

I think that unless you are only quenching Hitachi Blue/White or shooting for those super dramatic hamon with W2, that this Wocoquench 1015 will be a great all around oil that will work from 1095 to O1 and L6.

In other words, this is a great candidate for the "One Oil" that can do all.

My line up will be..

- Houghton Quench K, for the few steels that greatly benefit from it.
- Wocoquench 1015, for just about any steel I use. (coming soon)
- Brine/Water, For low carbon hammer heads and special projects that require the most dramatic quenches.
- Canola, again a multipurpose oil that gives good results. I use it when demonstrating on locations where "eco-friendly" is key(outside/historic sites).

 

Thank you for this Rick. I have been wanting to use more W2 but only have canola or brine, and I hate breaking blades. With stock thicknesses of 1/8 to 3/16, could I expect full hardening on W2 and 1095 with this 10.5 second oil? I have steered away from W2 because I have been told canola is too slow to fully harden it. I would occasionally be looking for some Hamons, but not anything super active like you would expect from Don Hanson or anything. More like a visible wavy transition.

I mostly work with 80CrV2 and 5160 right now and canola has been working, but would like to explore other steels. I plate quench all my stainless, so that’s no concern. I also have some 52100 that I plan to use. Do you think this would also be a good oil for that? Thanks in advance Rick.
