Abstract: A method of and an equipment for controlled cooling of one or multiple previously heated, straight, and thick steel wire to a predetermined temperature range between 400° C. and 650° C. Each of the thick steel wires is subjected to a controlled cooling-transformation treatment from austenite to pearlite, which occurs substantially after the wire leaves a forced water cooling length.
