A device for cooling a metal rolling stock () rolled in a rolling train, having multiple cooling devices (), to which water () is supplied via a respective branch line () and by means of which the water () is applied to the rolling stock (). The branch lines () are equipped with a respective valve (), by means of which the water flow flowing through the respective branch line () is adjusted. Each of the valves () is paired with a drive (), via which the respective valve () is actuated. The cooling devices () form multiple groups, each of which is paired with a dedicated pressure vessel () in a proprietary manner. Each pressure vessel () is connected to a respective feed line () at a respective connection point (), and the water () is supplied to the branch lines () of the cooling devices () of the corresponding group via said feed line. When viewed in the flow direction of the water (), each connection point () is arranged upstream of the valves () of the respective group of cooling devices ().

Cooling section with valves and pressure vessels for preventing pressure shocks

The invention relates to a method for preventing shape changes in metal coils, in particular for preventing a collapsing of newly wound hot coils. In the method, a metal coil, in particular a newly wound hot coil, is rotated about its longitudinal axis intermittently in a first rotational direction and then rotated back in a second opposing rotational direction, or further rotated in the first rotational direction.

Method for preventing shape changes in metal coils, in particualr for preventing a collapsing of newly wound hot coils

A six-high rolling (also known as sexto) mill stand that is suited for hot rolling an intermediate strip into a thin strip that is less than 0.8 mm thick. A combined casting and rolling installation that includes the six-high rolling mill stand allowing for hot rolling in long uninterrupted sequences, without any change of the work rolls to obtain a strip with good geometry due to moderate rolling forces.

Six-high rolling mill stand and finishing mill train for hot rolling an intermediate strip into a thin strip

A method for cooling a rolled product in a cooling section which is located upstream of a finishing train of a hot rolling mill. The cooling section includes a cooling device which can deliver a coolant flow of a coolant onto a rolled product surface of the rolled product. In the method, a coolant flow is delivered, by means of each cooling device and in each cooling section pass, onto the rolled product surface, which flow is set to a set value that is assigned to the relevant cooling device for the cooling section pass. The set values for a cooling section pass are determined in a simulation of the cooling section pass so that surface temperatures, determined in the simulation, of the rolled product surface upon leaving active regions of the cooling device do not exceed a minimum value for a surface temperature of the rolled product surface.

A cooling device has at least two cooling bars () of that type. The cooling bars extend transversely to a transport direction, one behind the other. Each cooling bar has a respective different pattern of jet nozzles and selection of applicable pattern of jet nozzles in their respective bars selectively cools the rolled material transversely to the transport direction.

A cooling section for flat rolling stock has a working region, through which the flat rolling stock is guided. The working region can be supplied with a liquid coolant by means of a number of spray beams. The liquid coolant is fed from a reservoir for the liquid coolant to the spray beams by means of a pump and a supply system. Valves are arranged upstream of the spray beams in the supply system. Opening positions of the valves are set by a control unit of the cooling section according to a respective sub-flow that is to be applied to the flat rolling stock by means of each spray beam. Also, the delivery rate of the pump and/or a line pressure generated by the pump in the supply system are set by the control unit according to the total flow that is to be applied to the flat rolling stock by means of all the spray beams.
