Original Abstract

The aim of the paper is to design the new wide plate mill. The work on the new cooling technology was supported by extensive laboratory testing while a simulator with full scale testing of cooling units was used. The principal objective of the investigation was to establish the design specification of equipment for accelerated cooling, particularly with respect to the product dimensions and steel grades. The possibilities of accelerated cooling are limited by technical parameters of cooling equipment such as thickness of water layer, flowrate, spray height, position of cooled surface to the nozzles and water or plate speed. These parameters were studied for different product temperatures and water impingement densities from 50 to 110 l s21 m22. The heat transfer coefficient was determined and compared for each case. There were three recognised significant cooling regions: water layer region, impinging jet region without water layer and impinging region with water layer, which must be taken into account. The pplication of the new cooling technology showed better flatness product and productivity higher than previous accelerated cooling system, even shorter cooling length. The rejection ratio by flatness problem ofnew mill was nearly half of the previous one.
