A combined computational and experimental technique is developed for implementing a scientifically based approach to the selection of a technology of heat hardening of welded joints of drill pipes made of steel 25KhGM with the use of water-drop quenching. The basic service characteristics of the water-drop cooling device are presented. An analytic model that relates the parameters of the water-drop quenching device (standard size and number of jets in device, pressure of fed water, distance from the jet nozzle to the cooled surface) to the properties of the welded joint is proposed. With the new technique the construction of a quenching device may be developed and the technology of heat treatment of the welded joints of drill pipes optimized in order to increase the level of mechanical properties.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
