Liquid Quenchant Fluidized Bed Technology (US & PCT Patent Pending) At long last there is an alternative to air, molten lead and sand fluidized bed patenting technology! Tire Wire Technology, LLC, Thermcraft, Inc. & RichardsApex Inc. have combined their technical expertise to develop a low energy consuming, nontoxic, highly controllable method to concurrently patent steel tire cord and other steel long products - even when diameters and chemistries are very dissimilar. The newly developed quenching and soaking process termed Thermodynamic Wire Transformation, based on Newton's Law of Forced Convective Cooling, overcomes diameter and chemistry concurrency limitations while consuming a fraction of operating energy. The Thermodynamic Wire Transformation optimized final microstructure results in property enhancement:
Liquid Quenchant Fluidized Bed Technology’s high heat transfer rate results in a fine pearlitic microstructure more difficult to obtain using other techniques particularly when higher strength super-, ultra- and mega-tensile steels are processed. In addition there are no hazards of ecological and toxicological exposure resulting in adverse physiological outcomes. Dissimilar chemistries and diameters can be processed concurrently yielding a product quality previously obtainable only by processing these materials separately. Even very large diameter (> 1 millimeter) or chemistry differences (1070 and 1090 Cr steels) are suitable for concurrent processing using the new technique. In one study the ability to concurrently process vastly different diameters and chemistries resulted in a 50 percent reduction of code changes on plating lines. Imagine the combined savings of lower energy costs, higher quality product and the ability to concurrently process dissimilar materials! |
