A cooling device for a cooling operation of a flat metallic product is provided, the cooling device being located in an essentially vertical path including: a tank filled with a coolant bath defining a coolant surface, the tank including at least two openings, one on the upper surface and one on the bottom surface wherein the flat metallic product can pass through, the opening on the bottom surface being equipped with a sealing mean, two series of projecting devices, oriented essentially horizontally, on two opposite tank sides, the projecting devices being immersed in the coolant bath, each series of projecting devices having an uppermost projecting device being defined as the closest projecting device to the coolant surface, at least the uppermost projecting device on both sides being downwardly inclined of an angle of 20° to 40° compared to the horizontal.

A cooling roll including an axle and a sleeve, the sleeve having a length and a diameter and being structured as follows: an inner cylinder, a plurality of magnets disposed along at least a portion of the inner cylinder length, each magnet being defined by a width, a height and a length, a cooling system surrounding at least a portion of the plurality of magnets, the cooling system and the plurality of magnets being separated by a gap defined by a height, the gap height being the smallest distance between a magnet and the cooling system above, the magnets having a width such that the following formula is satisfied:gap height&#xd7;1.1&#x2264;magnet width&#x2264;gap height&#xd7;8.6.

Magnetic cooling roll

A process for cooling a metal substrate running in a longitudinal direction, said process including ejecting at least one first cooling fluid jet on a first surface of said substrate and at least one second cooling fluid jet on a second surface of said substrate, said first and second cooling fluid jets being ejected at a cooling fluid velocity higher than or equal to 5 m/s, so as to form on said first surface and on said second surface a first laminar cooling fluid flow and a second laminar flow respectively, said first and second laminar cooling fluid flows being tangential to the substrate, said first and second laminar cooling fluid flows extending over a first predetermined length and a second predetermined length of the substrate respectively, said first and second lengths being determined so that the substrate is cooled from a first temperature to a second temperature by nucleate boiling.
