Abstract (en)
The invention relates to a method for controlled cooling of forged parts made of microalloyed steel, comprising the following sequence of actions: forming a part made of microalloyed steel by means of conventional forging; depositing the part, at a temperature comprised within the range of 1100-1300 °C, on a conveyor element (1); linearly moving the conveyor element (1) for first cooling, in open air, of the part; introducing the part into a closed chamber (2) for second cooling which is controlled and slowed down by means of air currents; removing the part from the closed chamber (2) for third cooling of the part, in open air; introducing the part inside a sudden cooling chamber (3) for sudden cooling of the entirety of the surface of the part by direct contact with a liquid coolant; and removing the part and transporting to a machining area.
