VERFAHREN UND ANLAGE ZUM INLINE-UMFORMEN, - VERGÜTEN UND -RICHTEN VON STABFÖRMIGEN METALLTEILEN

The method involves hot deforming a bar to a final diameter, and intermediately cooling the deformed bar by a cooling bed (9). The deformed bar is retained in a conversion area, and the deformed bar is inductively reheated to a temperature above a threshold. The deformed bar is quenched, and the bar is inductively heated to a tempering temperature. The tempered bar is cooled to a room temperature, and the tempered bar is flatted. The bar is packed at a final dimensioned length, and the bar is end processed by shaping and polishing to form an integrated component of an inline production line. An independent claim is also included for a system for inline forming, tempering and flattening a bar-shaped metallic part comprising a heating unit integrated in a continuously operated production line.
