Thermax QST Technology
Thermax QST Technology is widely used in the production of high-quality steel bars for various applications such as construction and infrastructure. It is considered a cost- effective and energy-efficient process that produces high-quality steel products with excellent mechanical properties.
The quenching process involves the use of water to rapidly cool the temperature of steel bars from 900 to 300 degrees Celsius, followed by a self-tempering process that allows the steel to slowly cool down to room temperature. This sudden cooling helps to form a strong and homogeneous microstructure within the steel, which results in improved mechanical properties such as higher strength, toughness, and ductility.
