The New Industry Benchmark for pipe and bar quench

The increasingly demanding market for hardened steel bars and heavy tubes for OCTG and industrial applications led to the developing of more efficient quenching devices.

SMS Group spent a considerable research effort in expanding the original idea of a tangential water sprayer aiming at a performance increase and to make it suitable for effectively treating large bars.

Computational fluidodynamics added the capability of foreseeing the quenching results allowing to skip most the time-consuming prototype realization phase and to optimize the process parameters. 

The end result is the development of a new generation of devices under the brand name of "quenching head" and "quenching shell".
