Description
SK:[D R~II, Background Reheat furnaces are used to heat heavy slabs of metal (work pieces) which are moved through the furnace supported on water cooled structural members called skid rails. These skid rails include a wear bar secured to the top oE the skid rails for contact with the slabs. The contact between the wear bars and the slabs allows heat transfer from the slabs to the skid rails which produce lines of chilling sometimes called "tiger stripes"O Elimination of such tiger stripes is desired par-ticularly where the slabs are to be used in producing steel strips so that a uniform gauge strip may be produced.
An example of the work of the prior art -to eliminate these tiger stripes is shown in U.S. Pat. No. ~,354,~24 wherein the wear bars secured to the top of the structured member are staggered~ spaced apart and the top surface oE the structural member covered between the wear bars with a metal honeycomb reinforced insulation. While such structure has been very successful in minimizing the heat transfer from the slab to the skid railJ the wear bars still allow some cooling of the slabO
Another example of the prior art is disclosed in UOS.
Pat. No. 3,214,15~ which discloses a work engaqing means supported from a rail on two stacked blocks made of ceramic material with the lower block which engages the structural member having a density substantially less than th~ upper block. It also suggests that the work engaging means may be made of a material having a very high resistance to heat such as cobalt or molybdenum. The use of low density ceramics as a support may provide heat insulation but is subject to damage when heavy work pieces are moved over the work engaging means.

Another object is to provide an improved wear bar structure for a skid rail which has a minimum of heat transfer with respect to the work piece.

Brief description of the Preferred Embodiment The preferred embodiment of the present invention is best shown in FIGU~ES 1, 2 and 3 wherein skid rail llO includes truncated triangular pipe 111 having flat upper surface 112 on which wear bars 114 are mounted in intermittent parallel relationship as shown. Insulation 115 is placed on the sides and bottom of pipe 111, as shown in FIGURE 1 bu-t omitted for clarity in FI~URES 2 and 3. T-shaped bars or blocks 116 which are welded to surface 112 vertically secure wear bars 11~ to pipe lllo Wear bars 114 are longitudinally secured by thrust pads 118, which are welded to top surface 112 of pipe 111.
For ease of manufacture and assembly it is preferred that wear bars 114 be comprised of short sections approximately 15 inches long with a thrust pad 118 being at each section-to-section joint and each end. Wear bars 114 have a T-shaped opening so they can be inserted onto T-shaped bars 116 without requiring intimate thermal conducting con~act as would result if bars 114 were welded directly to pipe 111.
Thermal conductivity is further impeded by inserting insulation 117 between bars 116 and 11~ as shown in FIGURE 1.
It is preferred that insulation 117 be of an alumina silica type, such as that manufactured by Babcock and Wilcox Company of Augusta, Georgia under the trademark Kaowool ST. An additional reduction in high temperature thermal conductivity is obtained ~y manufacturlng wear bars 114 from an iron, chrome, cobalt alloy which has low thermal conductivity at the 3~
high temperatures e~perienced in the metallurclic~l reheat furnace. A suitable alloy ~or wear bars l14 would be one havin~ the following composition C-0.12%, Mn-0.60~;
Si-0.07~; Cr-28.00~; Fe 21.00% and Co-~9.58%.
Insula~ing material 126 is embedded in reinforcing frame 128 and is in physical contact with upper surface 112 of pipe 111 and further reduces the heat transfer between -the hot slab work piece (not shown) and pipe 111. Insulating material 126 is preferred to be a dual material giving a combination of high thermal resistance, high radiant emissivity and high strength. Such a material is manufactured by A.P. Green Refractory Co. of Mexico, Missouri under the trademark Jade Pak 88P. It is preferred that the wear bars and insulating material be arranged in two separate alternating rows, as best seen in FIGURE 2, to further minimize heat transfer -from the hot slab and eliminate tiger stripes.
Brief Description of other Embodiments A second embodiment of the invention is shown in FIGURES 4, 5 and 6, wherein skid rail 10 includes truncated triangular pipe 11 having flat top surface 12 on which wear bar 14 is mounted and with insulation 15 on the bottom and sides of pipe 11. Blocks 16 support and help secure wear bar 14 by welding. Blocks 16 are uniformly spaced along wear bar 14 with the spacing being provided so -that wear bar 14 is not subject to damage due to the slabs or work pieces being moved thereon. Means 18 is provided to retain wear bar 14 and blocks 16 in the desired position relative to surface 12.
Such retaining means 18 includes cleats 20 and stops 21 which are secured to surface 12. Cleats 20 and stops 21 are welded on surface 12 in position and sized to secure blocks 16 to skid rail 10 and to allow sufficient space for differences in .~3~ 3 thermal e~pansion. Cleat 20 includes V-shaped base 22 and caps 24 on legs 25 of base 22. Caps 24 are secured -~o le~s 25 by welding so that they overhang the outer por~ions of block 16 as shown. Suitable insulatlon material 26 is placed within and around reinforcing frame 28 whlch is secured to surface 12 of pipe 11 by welding. Portions of insulating material 26 have been omitted in FIGURE 6 to show reinforcing frame 28. This type of insulation 26 is disclosed in U.S.
Pat. No. 4,354,824 and such disclosure is incorporated herein by reference. Pipe 11 is also coated with suitable insulation 27.
As can be seen in FI~URES 4 and 6, insula-tion 26 extends under wear bar 14 between blocks 16~ It is preferred that insulation 26 not be in physical contact with wear bar 14.
Also clea-ts 20 and stops 21 are spaced along surface 12 to engage opposite sides of blocks 16 on wear bar 14 so that blocks 16 fit within the space bounded by legs 25, bases 22 and stops 21. It is preferred that bases 22 with blocks 16 positioned therein are secured to surface 12, then caps 2~ are secured to bases 22 to secure blocks 16 in position and thus secure wear bar 14 in place.
With the structure shown and described the material of wear bar 14 and blocks 16 is preferred to be a material having low thermal conductivity and high strength at elevated temperatures such as the nickel based alloy sold by International Mickel Company under the trademark "Incoloy ~02".
Insulating material 26 is preferred to be a dual material giving a cor~ination of high thermal resistance, high radiant emlssivity and high strength. Cleats 20 and stops 21 are steel and are used since the material of wear bar 14 and block 16 cannot be readily welded to carbon steel, such as ~3'~
pipe 11, due to its chemical incompatibility and diIferent coefficient oE thermal expansion. This structure provides a load bearing insulation separating the hot slab -from the "heat sink" of the water cooled pipe 11 to thereby eliminate tiger stripes on the ho-t slab.

Blocks 38 support and secure wear bar 36 by welding. Blocks 38 are uniformly spaced along wear bar 36 with the spacing being provided so that wear bar 36 i5 no-t subject to damage due to the slabs or work pieces being moved thereon. Means 40 is provided to retain wear bar 36 and blocks 38 in the desired position relative to surface 34.
Such retaining means 40 includes bracke-t 42 which extends across top surface 34 of skid rail 30 and has its outer ends ~4 depending into slots 46 in flanges 48 of skid rail 30 and secured therein by suitable securing means 50. Such securing means 50 may be spring loaded pins which extend into holes in flange 48. Bracket 42 includes recess 52 in its central portion into which block 38 is positioned. As can be seen from FIGURE 4, brackets 42 are alternatively positioned so that recesses 52 of adjacent brackets ~2 Eace in opposite directions to secure blocks 38 and wear bar 36 as best shown in FIGURE 7. Caps 54 are secured to hrackets 42 in position to cover the outer edge of blocks 38 as shown in FIGURES 7 and 8.
Suitable insulating material 56 is placed within and around reinforcing frame 58 which is secured to surface 34 of pipe 32 by welding. In FIGURE 7 portions of insulating material 56 have been omitted to show rein-Eorcing frame 58.
