Ia. Borisov et Ai. Borisov, DEVELOPMENT OF THE TECHNOLOGY OF SPRAY QUENCHING OF BACKUP ROLLS, Metal science and heat treatment, 39(7-8), 1997, pp. 321-323
A complex method involving a technology and equipment for spray quench
ing is used for improving the quality of the metal of back-up rolls of
high-load mills. The accelerated cooling by sprayed water in the proc
ess of final heat treatment of back-up hot-rolling rolls increases the
surface hardness, accelerates the structural transformations over the
cross section, and reduces the total heat-treatment time as compared
to normalizing.
