Water-jet cooling in the thermal strengthening of asymmetric profiles

Establishing patterns in the temperature distribution within a deformation zone during thin strip rolling

“…A technology of cooling complex profiles with water jets was studied and tested in laboratory conditions [2]. According to the authors, it enables the achievement of an optimum self-regulation temperature by adjusting the cooling time.…”

“…Thus, the analysis of scientific and technical literature has shown that when elaborating on the technological modes of thin sheet rolling processes with the application of accelerated cooling, it is necessary to have a reliable theoretical model for calculating the thermal state of the strip-roll system. Studies of the influence of various factors on the processes of accelerated strip cooling are presented in [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. However, they either do not provide procedures giving just results of calculation of the thermal state of the strip-roll system or study the thermal state of one element of this contact pair.…”
