Abstract

With extremely high cooling rates, a combined laminar jet andspray nozzle design cooling facility is the most advanced tool forthe evolution of mechanical properties of high-strength steels. Themain metallurgical aspects of Accelerated Cooling (ACC) andDirect Quenching (DQ) are presented. Typical plate applicationsare brought up. Design, engineering and operational aspects ofmodern cooling facilities are explained. Of particular importancefor a homogenous cooling process is a powerful process controlfeaturing advanced process models.
