  • Patent number: 8438891
    Abstract: The invention deals with a rolling mill (1) for metallic products comprising at least one pair of work rolls and at least one cooling device (2) projecting a plurality of cooling jets under pressure on at least one work roll, the cooling device projecting also at least one scraper jet between the cooling jets and the metallic product to be rolled, the scraper jets being oriented in the desired flow direction following a re-entrant angle towards the perpendicular to the surface of the work roll, as well as with a rolling process using said rolling mill (1).
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8281632
    Abstract: (EN) The present invention relates to a device for cooling a working roll (1, 2) belonging to a rolling stand used for rolling a long or flat product (3), characterized in that it comprises a cooling head in the form of a box section (6A, 6B) that is sealed except along a front face (42) lying a short distance from said roll (1, 2), and in which face a plurality of nozzles (41) has been machined or positioned in a determined pattern, said box section (6A, 6B) being concave and cylindrical at its front face (42). The box section (6A, 6B) is also fitted with transverse (5, 7) and lateral (8) plates which collaborate with the front face (42) of the box section so as to control the flow of cooling liquid and confine said liquid in the form of a highly turbulent flow. This then yields optimal cooling of the roll both in terms of the uniformity of the cooling across the surface thereof and in terms of the reduction in temperature as a result of the turbulent effect created.

  • Patent number: 6641931
    Abstract: The present invention aims to produce a cold rolled metal coated multi-phase steel, characterized by a tensile strength of at least 500 MPa, a yield ratio (Re/Rm) lower than 0.65 in skinned conditions, lower than 0.60 in unskinned conditions, and with good metal coating adhesion behavior. In the case of the aluminized steel according to the invention, the steel also has superior resistance to temperature corrosion up to 900° C. and excellent mechanical properties at this high temperature. The hot metal coated steel product having a steel composition with a manganese content lower than 1.5%, chrome content between 0.2 and 0.5%, molybdenum content between 0.1 and 0.25%, and a relation between the chrome and molybdenum content as follows Cr+2 Mo higher than or equal to 0.7%, undergoes a thermal treatment in the hot dip metal coating line defined by a soaking temperature between Ac1 and Ac3, a primary cooling speed higher than 25° C./sec and a secondary cooling speed higher than 4° C./sec.
