The waterbox quenching system is installed at the finishing end of a hot rod or bar rolling mill prior to the cut to length flying shear to provide in-line heat treatment of the finished product. The process allows the economical production of rods and bars of higher quality and higher tensile strength whilst avoiding the need to use steels with expensive high alloy compositions to achieve the same physical properties. The process uses the residual heat of the hot rolling process with suitably controlled water quenching to harden and temper the product in-line thus optimising the rolling mill's production capacity and energy efficiency to produce high quality, high tensile rod and bar.
