A conveying device for conveying metal strip coils. The conveying device includes: at least one coil carrier to carry a metal strip coil; two conveying stations arranged at different heights and each designed to receive one coil carrier; and a conveyor track extending between the conveying stations and having a conveyor drive by means of which a coil carrier can be conveyed on the conveyor track between the conveying stations. Each conveying station is tiltable between a first end position in which the conveying station is oriented horizontally and a second end position, wherein the conveying station has an inclination in the second end position which corresponds to the inclination of the conveyor track and adjoins the conveyor track so that a coil carrier can be conveyed by means of the conveyor drive from the conveyor track into the conveying station and from the conveying station onto the conveyor track.

Conveying device and method for conveying metal strip coils

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 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 bar () for cooling rolled material () being moved in a transport direction () and in particular for reducing temperature differences in the temperature of the rolled material () transversely to the direction of transport (). The cooling bar () has several full jet nozzles () by means of which a coolant beam of a coolant with an approximately constant jet diameter can be distributed to the rolling stock () in the direction of distribution (). 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 roll stand () for rolling flat rolling stock () includes an upper working roller () and a lower working roller () that form a roll gap () between each other. The flat rolling stock () runs through the roll gap () in a transport direction (x) during rolling of the flat rolling stock (). An upper cooling device (), cools the upper working roller () and is arranged on the outlet side of the roll stand (). The upper cooling device () has an upper spray boom (), which extends parallel to the upper working roller () and has a plurality of upper spray nozzles (), which spray a liquid coolant () onto the upper working roller (). The upper cooling device () also has a lower spray boom (), which extends parallel to the upper working roller () and has a plurality of lower spray nozzles (), which spray the liquid coolant () onto the upper working roller (). The lower spray boom () is arranged between the flat rolling stock () and the upper spray boom (). At least some of the upper spray nozzles () are flat jet nozzles, and at least some of the lower spray nozzles () are full jet nozzles.

Roll stand having a hybrid cooling device

Device for cooling flat rolled material with a liquid coolant has at least one cooling bar, which is arranged above the conveying path and to which the liquid coolant is fed. A plurality of outlet tubes have, in a flow direction of the liquid coolant, an initial portion, which proceeds from the inlet opening and extends upward, a middle portion, which adjoins the initial portion, and an end portion, which adjoins the middle portion and extends downward and to the output opening. The middle portion contains a vertex at which the coolant flowing through the outlet tube in question reaches a highest point. The outlet openings are located above the cooling bar. A height distance (h) of the inlet opening from the vertex is at least twice as large, in particular at least three times as large, as a height distance (h) of the outlet opening from the vertex.

Cooling of rolled matertial

A cooling device () for cooling a roll () of a roll stand (). The cooling device () includes a chilled beam () for receiving and discharging a coolant. The chilled beam () has multiple full jet nozzles () disposed on a discharge side () of the chilled beam (), the side facing the roll () and extending parallel to a roll axis () of the roll (). Through each of the full-jet nozzles, a jet of coolant having a nearly constant jet diameter can be sprayed from the chilled beam () towards the roll () in a discharge direction ().

A cooling system () for cooling metal rolling stock. A plurality of cooling bars () for applying a coolant onto the rolling stock, one dedicated coolant supply line () for each cooling bar (), and a feed system () for guiding the coolant to the coolant supply lines (). Each cooling bar () is connected to the feed system () via a dedicated coolant supply line ().

Cooling system for cooling metal rolling stock

For a rolled metal strip, in particular a steel strip; a drive roller unit deflects the metal strip from a first transportation direction to a second transportation direction, and the strip is then fed to a coiler. The metal strip is coiled in the coiler to form a coil having a coil diameter. Plastic deformation of an end portion of the metal strip is caused such that the end portion in its uninfluenced state is curved at a curvature radius. The plastic deformation of the end portion () is at least partially caused by an asymmetric impingement with a cooling medium () on the sides of the end portion (). The impingement of the end portion () with the cooling medium () is performed across a length of the end portion () that is longer than half the outermost coiling of the coil () but smaller than the outermost coiling of the coil ().
