Abstract

PURPOSE:To make rapid cooling and descaling treatments highly efficient, by carrying out spray cooling by the use of a fluid into which abrasive materials are mixed at a rapid cooling stage at the time of subjecting austenitic stainless steel wires and bars to solution heat treatment. CONSTITUTION:An austenitic stainless steel wire 1 in a link-chain or straight- chain condition, or the material to be treated, is conveyed by means of conveyance rollers 2 into a heating furnace 3 maintained at solution-heat-treating temp., where the wire 1 is continuously heated and held. After that, water into which abrasive materials are mixed is uniformly sprayed to the surface of the wire 1 from an upper nozzle 4-1 and a lower nozzle 5-1 as cooling devices to apply rapid cooling. In this way, a refrigerator vapor film formed in the initial stage of cooling of the wire 1 is broken in its early stage because abrasive materials are mixed into water, so that cooling effect can be remarkably improved and, simultaneously, scales at the wire 1 surface can be removed.

For pickling, single or mixed acids such as sulfuric acid, nitric acid, butic acid, and hydrochloric acid are used.

The scale and smuft remaining after pickling are washed with water.

In addition, the use of nitric acid or butoxylic acid in pickling for descaling treatment generates toxic gases, which requires sufficient exhaust gas treatment equipment, and waste acid treatment also requires expensive equipment from the standpoint of environmental protection. and requires a large amount of processing cost.

Therefore, in order to solve the problem of pickling, mechanical treatment such as plasting and cleaning methods have been applied in some cases, but due to the form of wire rods and steel bars, descaling is often difficult, and complete descaling is not possible. In order to do this, it is necessary to uniformly apply the blast grains to the surface of the wire rod/steel bar, and for this purpose, equipment such as rewinding is required for wire rods, but the reality is that even then, sufficient effects are not achieved. It is.

<Function> First, in the present invention, the reason why the wire rod/bar to be heat treated is made into a ring shape or a straight shape is as follows. In other words, in the wire coiled state, the cooling effect during solution treatment is insufficient, grain boundary carbides tend to precipitate, reducing corrosion resistance, and variations in material quality occur due to temperature non-uniformity during heat treatment. Since the liquid or gas mixed with the abrasive material does not spread sufficiently, the descaling effect cannot be achieved sufficiently.

Next, in the quenching stage of solution treatment, a liquid or gas uniformly mixed with an abrasive is injected onto the wire rod or steel bar to perform cooling and descaling treatment.

The reason why the abrasive is not injected after the solution treatment as in the conventional method but is injected at the rapid cooling stage of the solution treatment is as follows. In other words, in the quenching stage, the thermal shrinkage stress of the material as it cools generates cranks in the oxide scale formed during heating, and the impact of the abrasive material significantly accelerates the expansion and separation of the cranks, so descaling takes an extremely short time. Proceed to.

In addition, when a liquid is used as the refrigerant, if an abrasive is mixed therein, the vapor film of the refrigerant that is formed during the initial cooling of the heat-treated material is broken early, which has the advantage of significantly improving the cooling effect.

By the above method, rapid cooling and descaling treatment after solution treatment can be performed simultaneously and efficiently, resulting in significant cost reduction, equipment simplification, and prevention of pollution caused by pickling treatment.
