Quenching into molten salt or hot oil can be used to minimize size change and distortion on some parts. Because these quenches are less drastic than conventional oil, they are only applicable when the material has adequate hardenability for the mass of the part in question.

One of our large 48x72x36 in. integral quench batch type furnaces is set up with hot oil and a molten salt quench is available in our neutral salt bath department.
