Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of high-strength bearing steel technology, and in particular to a rapid recrystallization annealing device for high-strength bearing steel. Background Technology

[0002] In bearing manufacturing, recrystallization annealing of high-strength bearing steel is one of the key processes. Its purpose is to eliminate internal stresses generated during processing, refine grain size, and improve the metal's microstructure and properties. However, existing bearing steel annealing equipment has many problems.

[0003] In practice, traditional annealing equipment mostly uses a single heating method, which results in slow heating speed, long annealing cycle, and low production efficiency. On the other hand, the temperature control is not precise enough, making it difficult to ensure that the bearing steel is recrystallized and annealed in the optimal temperature range, which can easily lead to uneven annealing and affect the quality and performance of the bearing steel. Therefore, we propose a rapid recrystallization annealing device for high-strength bearing steel. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a rapid recrystallization annealing device for high-strength bearing steel, which solves the existing problems.

During the pushing process, the pump above the shielding mounting frame can be controlled to transfer the coating material inside the anti-oxidation coating material storage box to the nozzle through the transmission pipeline. This allows the nozzle to spray an anti-oxidation coating on the outer surface of the bearing steel, further enhancing the anti-oxidation ability of the bearing steel surface and effectively avoiding the generation of defects such as decarburization.
