Abstract
Quenching media based on polyalkylene glycol have been used for heat t reatment of aluminum alloys instead of hot water for 30 years. However , their use Is still accompanied by some difficulties, In the aircraft industry of the U.S. aqueous solutions of polymers based on polyalkyl ene glycol are called quenching liquids of types I and II. The aim of the present work is to consider the possibility of using these media f or quenching aluminum alloys.
