METHOD AND DEVICE FOR WIRE PATENTING BY RADIATION-CONVECTION HEAT TRANSFER

摘要

A method and device for cooling a wire. The device includes a block of material having a very high thermal capacity with a channel adapted for allowing passage of a wire to be cooled and at least one conduit for circulation of a cooling fluid, and at least one nozzle for injecting a turbulent fluid jet towards the wire to be cooled. The turbulent jet is capable of producing necessary cooling, thus avoiding the need for using conventional lead baths.
