Dispersing stabilized carbon-based solid particles in a base fluid can increase its thermal conductivity. The higher thermal conductivity of the carbon particles compared to the base fluid increases its heat transfer characteristics. A practical example of this type of thermally enhanced fluid for use as a quench medium in the steel heat treatment industry is presented here. By controlling the amount of carbon-based dispersed particles and stabilizers added to quench mediums, the cooling rate of the quench medium can be altered, which affects steel hardness after heat treatment. This study synthesized quenchants using distilled water; 0.1, 0.3, and 0.5 wt% dispersed coconut-shell charcoal carbon particles; and 3%–30% sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate (SDBS) as a surfactant. The quenchants were used to quench S45C medium carbon steel samples. The highest thermal conductivity (0.74 W/mK) and highest steel hardness (55 HRC) were achieved with the addition of 3% SDBS. Increased steel hardness correlated with higher cooling rates due to the increased thermal conductivity of the quenchant.
