Description
Liquid Quenchant Fluidized Bed Technology (LQF – US Patent Pending) overcomes concurrency constraints and significantly reduces energy requirements by altering the forced convective heat transfer coefficient and not quenching or soaking media temperature. High quenching rates from austenite to soaking transforms steel near the TTT nose. The resulting fine pearlitic microstructure is desirable for drawing to high strength and torsional properties.
