Abstract
The physical and mathematical model of cooling a moving steel strip by a water jet system is described in Part 1 of this paper. The temperature distribution along the steel strip motion direction and at its cross section is obtained. Two main variants of the relative position of the upper and the lower jets are considered. An analysis of the jets pattern effect on the steel strip temperature field is performed. The validity of the heat transfer mathematical model and the program for calculating the temperature field is verified by comparing the results of the functioning Hot Rolling Mill 2000 of the Public Joint-Stock Company «Magnitogorsk Iron and Steel Works» with the calculated data referring to a specific steel grade. The transverse temperature distributions for different layouts of the jets as well as the longitudinal distributions of the maximum temperature differences of the steel strip sections are obtained. Results referring to the steel strip temperature field calculation in view of the temperature dependence of the thermo-physical properties of low-carbon steel are presented in this communication. Conclusions on the need of considering the temperature dependence of the steel thermo-physical properties when predicting the final temperature are drawn based on these calculations.
