Description
A set of integrated mathematical models for simulating the patenting of steel wires has been developed through laboratory research work and validated against monitored results from pilot and industrial plants. A computing algorithm, with the flexibility to simulate different operational conditions has been developed to predict the thermal evolution and austenite transformation during the delicate stage of steel wire cooling either in lead bath or in fluidized bed. This model provides an important insight into the process that is beneficial to enhance the quality of high strength drawn wires.
