Quenching Fluids & Salts Market Segmentation:

Product Segment Analysis

Oil segment is projected to dominate quenching fluids & salts market share of over 78.9% by 2035. The oil segment dominates the market based mainly on its superior cooling properties and the ability to provide consistent heat transfer during the quenching process. The better viscosity of oil prevents cracks and distortion of components. For instance, in January 2024, Petrofer offered pre-HT washing and quenching, which is a final cleaning pre-HT welding with experience and energy savings due to lower application temperatures. This reaches from the cleaning before heat treatment through to the choice of quenching oil or polymer. Such reliable performance in demanding heat treatment applications continues making oil-based quenching fluids the preferred choice.

End user Segment Analysis

Aerospace is the dominating segment for quenching fluids & salts market, due to the stringent requirement of the industry for high-performance materials and components. The metal parts for aerospace applications are required to exhibit maximum strength and durability coupled with resistance to severe conditions, which include maximum temperature and pressure tolerance. For instance, in April 2024, Vacu Braze purchased and installed a new American-manufactured Class 3 Pyrometry furnace, featuring a 36”x48” zone to expand its aerospace, defense, and power generation capabilities. Aerospace is therefore the largest end user in the market.
