Abstract

THE INCREASINGLY DEMANDING MARKET FOR HARDENED STEEL BARS AND HEAVY TUBES FOR OCTG AND VARIOUS INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS REQUIRES THE DEVELOPING OF MORE EFFICIENT QUENCHING DEVICES. SMS GROUP UNDERTOOK A SIGNIFICANT RESEARCH EFFORT TO EXPAND THE ORIGINAL CONCEPT OF TANGENTIAL WATER SPRAYING WITH THE AIM OF A PERFORMANCE INCREASE AND TO MAKE IT SUITABLE FOR EFFECTIVELY TREATING LARGE BARS. COMPUTATIONAL FLUIDODYNAMICS ADDED THE CAPABILITY OF PREDICTING THE QUENCHING RESULTS AND ALLOWED TO SKIP MOST THE TIME-CONSUMING PROTOTYPE REALIZATION PHASE AND TO OPTIMIZE THE PROCESS PARAMETERS.
