Objective

This project is aimed at developing an adequate technical solution to the problem of accelerated cooling in continuous annealing lines. The solution considered is to use non-oxidising pulverised water as quenching medium. Novelties (with regards to existing misting jets), which require further development are: excellent flatness of the product, reduction of the propelling gas quantity, non oxidising effect and important side effects (drying, sealing). All the process and product properties will be analysed.
