"Uniform structure even in thicker products" - In order to achieve a uniform bainitic structure throughout the core of the steel material required for austempering, it is generally necessary to apply steel grades with excellent H values or to limit the weight and thickness of the steel components, which has restricted their adoption in design requirements. In response, our company, WaAT, has successfully developed a mechanism for automatically controlling the addition of water to the nitrate bath, establishing its incorporation into actual machines. As a result, we were able to significantly increase the cooling rate during rapid cooling, eliminating the need to change the steel grade and allowing for an expansion of the weight and thickness usage range while remaining within the medium to high carbon steel category.

This method further develops our fluidized bed technology. By injecting various treatment gases as fluidizing gases at higher temperatures, the sand heats every corner evenly, and deep holes can be heated almost like a liquid. The injected treatment gas then travels along with the sand to the surface of the product, where it undergoes decomposition and other reactions. This allows for more uniform treatment, even in shapes that are easily affected by gas. Furthermore, the fluidized bed also provides abrasive cleaning effects, allowing for the combined benefits of blast cleaning and treatment.

With the complete set of equipment in this system, it is possible to measure and digitize the cooling performance of quenching agents. This allows for real-time monitoring of performance changes due to degradation from repeated use of the quenching agents, thermal decomposition, and other factors on-site. In particular, by monitoring the correlation between measured data and phenomena related to performance changes such as dimensional distortion of products, fluctuations in hardness, and deterioration of metal microstructure, it can be utilized in activities aimed at shifting from symptomatic treatment to preventive measures. Additionally, while there are many cases where quality assurance for quenching agents is established through regular replacement or replenishment, some management methods force the disposal of agents that are still in a usable state due to replacement rules. By using this equipment to monitor the correct lifecycle of quenching agents in real-time on-site, it can contribute to cost reduction through extended usage. Furthermore, in development projects, it can also be used to obtain fundamental data for selecting the most suitable quenching agents for in-house products, and in the future, it is anticipated to be used as equipment for building requirement information for heat treatment simulations during the design phase.
