example 1A

[0055] Sheets made of Vanadis-10 material produced by Bohler-Uddeholm were processed to obtain figure 2 Knives of the shape shown in .

[0056] The hardness measured before and after treatment was equal to 58 and 56 Rockwell C scale hardness respectively.

[0057] The knives, kept apart, were inserted into a muffle fed with nitrogen flow. The muffle kiln was switched on and heated up to 500°C at a rate of 10°C / minute and then at 2°C for one minute to a prespecified tempering temperature equal to 620°C. The temperature was held constant for three hours, after which the muffle was switched off and the tool was left to cool slowly (at about 5°C per minute). The knives were removed when the temperature reached 400°C and left to cool in a calm atmosphere until room temperature was reached. The hardness measured after heat treatment was 44.5 Rockwell C hardness.

[0058] The knives were assembled on the hub of the granulator and sharpened under these conditions: rotation rate 1...

example 1D-1G

[0064] Example 1A was repeated with knives from the same plate but heat tempered at a different temperature. The resulting hardnesses are shown in Table 1, expressed on the Rockwell C scale. Table 2 that follows gives the granulation quality obtained and the minimum and maximum wear rates recorded in the sharpening phase and in the granulation phase.

example 2

[0068] Repeat Example 1A, but during sharpening, the flow of cooling water is periodically adjusted so that at full flow (850 l / h) and an estimated spray velocity of 16 m / s, the period is alternately equal to 30 seconds and the period is 10 seconds, the water flow is reduced to 1 / 8 of the previous value during the period equal to 10 seconds. The duration of sharpening is equal to 60 minutes.

Abstract

Granulator blades with a high wear resistance made of cold work tool steel, preferably with a high vanadium content and thermally treated after machining, at a temperature ranging from 500 DEG C to 700 DEG C. The sharpening of the blades is effected by abrading the blades against the surface of the die plate, under suitable operating conditions.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to pelletizer blades with high wear resistance and related sharpening methods. [0002] The blades that are the object of the present invention can be used in granulators for thermoplastic polymers, such as water ring, underwater and water jet type granulators. [0003] Vinyl and vinyl aromatic polymers, optionally expandable, are thermoplastic polymers to which the present invention may be applied. More specifically, the invention can be applied to the granulation of polystyrene, expandable polystyrene and alloys thereof. [0004] All conditions stated herein should be considered to be preferred, even if not expressly stated. Background technique [0005] Their cutting can be achieved by passing the thermoplastic polymer in the molten state through a series of holes located in a die plate, after which the polymer still in the molten state is cut by means of special devices. [0006] Cutting is achieved by using a serie...
