Physicochemical, Thermal and Cooling Curve Characterisation of Sulfate Salt–Modified Sesame Oil as a Potential Bio-Based Quenching Medium
The development of environmentally safe quenching media is critical for sustainable heat treatment operations. Vegetable oils have emerged as promising bio-based alternatives to petroleum-derived quenchants due to their renewability, biodegradability and favourable thermal characteristics; however, their direct industrial application is often li...
