The rack, as one of the important mechanical components in modern industrial equipment, has characteristics such as compact structure, high transmission efficiency, reliable operation, and long service life. It is usually used in conjunction with gears, mainly to convert rotary motion into linear motion, enabling operations such as steering in mechanical devices. During operation, the rack faces challenges such as high load, fast operating speed, and harsh service environments. Its quality, performance, and lifespan directly affect the overall performance and operational safety of the equipment. Typically, the rack undergoes heat treatment to improve its microstructure, enhance toughness, and meet service performance requirements.
Induction quenching and tempering heat treatment refers to the process of generating induced currents on the surface of the workpiece using the principle of electromagnetic induction, rapidly heating the surface of the workpiece in the form of eddy currents for a certain period, followed by rapid quenching and tempering, thereby altering the microstructure and performance of the workpiece. After induction quenching and tempering heat treatment, the rack bar material exhibits tempered sorbite structure, demonstrating good comprehensive mechanical properties, while its fatigue performance is effectively improved, and its service life is significantly extended. Continuous induction heat treatment production lines have significant advantages such as fast heating speed, high degree of automation, compact equipment, low thermal inertia, good continuity, high work efficiency, and green energy-saving efficiency, and are now widely used in the heat treatment of rack bars.
The quenching cooling system is a core component in the induction quenching and tempering heat treatment process, directly affecting the quenching quality of the workpiece. A well-designed cooling system can meet the quenching cooling rate requirements of the workpiece, reduce the risk of deformation and cracking, and help improve the hardness, strength, and wear resistance of the material, thereby extending the product's service life. Additionally, it can achieve uniform cooling of the workpiece, reducing its temperature gradient and residual stress, resulting in uniformity in the product's microstructure and performance. Therefore, designing an efficient, uniform, and reliable cooling system is crucial in the induction quenching and tempering heat treatment production process.
