Ultra fast cooling in the hot strip mill (Phase II)

Objective

The present proposal is phase II of a currently running Pilot and Demonstration project. It is focused on the application of ultra fast cooling to thin strip. The work programme of the project includes the design, building and testing in the normal operating conditions of the hot strip mill, of a novel short cooling equipment, placed immediately behind the last rolling stand. It allows to cool the strip in a very fast and controllable way. One of the main objectives is to first design, build and test a pinch roll, placed at the exit of a cooling equipment in order to avoid the flying of the thinner strips under the influence of the cooling water pressure. This will allow to apply the cooling from the head end of the strip on and hereby to improve the temperature control in the strip and to ensure a constant cooling temperature and consequently consistent mechanical properties over the whole length of the hot strips.
