Abstract
A method of continuous controlled cooling of a plurality of heated steel wires having a diameter larger than 2.8 mm and having an austenite microstructure and of transformation to a pearlite microstructure of the steel wires. The method comprises the steps of: a) Providing a first coolant bath comprising a first coolant liquid. The first coolant liquid comprises water and a stabilizing additive. b) Guiding the plurality of previously heated steel wires parallel to each other along individual paths through the first coolant liquid contained in the first coolant bath; and directing impinging liquid immersed inside the first coolant bath towards each of the steel wires over a certain length L. The impinging liquid decreases the thickness of or destabilizes the steam film around each of the plurality of steel wires, resulting in an increase of the speed of cooling over said length L. The intensity of the impinging liquids is individually set and/or controlled for each individual steel wire or for subsets of the plurality of steel wires. c) Guiding the plurality of steel wires parallel to each other through air for further cooling.

Important Notes on Latency of Status data
Please note there is up to 60 days of latency in this Status indicator for certain status conditions. You can obtain up-to-date Status indicator readings by ordering PAIR for the file.
An application with the status "Published" (which means it is pending) may be recently abandoned, but not yet updated to reflect its abandoned status. However, an application filed less than one year ago is unlikely to be abandoned.
A patent with the status "Granted" may be recently expired, but not yet updated to reflect its expired status. However, it is highly unlikely a patent less than 3.5 years old would be expired.
An application with the status "Abandoned" is almost always current, but there is a small chance it was recently revived and the status not yet updated.
Important Note on Priority Date data
This priority date is an estimated earliest priority date and is purely an estimation. This date should not be taken as legal conclusion. No representations are made as to the accuracy of the date listed. Please consult a legal professional before relying on this date.
