Therefore, the cooling water jetting nozzles 15 of the bottom surface cooling water headers 12a are disposed between the transfer rollers 7.

This is effective to bring the cooling of the top and bottom surfaces and the water pressure thereof into balance.
  • each of the cooling water jetting nozzles 15 protrudes from each of the cooling water headers 12 and is disposed so as to jet cooling water approximately vertical to the surface of the steel strip.
  • the cooling water jetting nozzles 15 vertically protrude from the cooling water headers 12.
  • cooling water being jetted from the nozzles is less affected by the jetted cooling water, as in the cooling apparatus disclosed in Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 62-259610 .
  • the flow velocity of the cooling water, which is jetted from the nozzles and collides with the steel strip is almost equal in all nozzles so as to conduct uniform cooling.
  • Laminar nozzles are generally used as the cooling water jetting nozzles 15. Since the cooling water jetting outlets of laminar nozzles are cylindrical, jetted water flow collides with the steel strip 9 as laminar flow without divergence. Here, the cylindrical laminar flow is primarily laminar flow but it may contain some turbulent flow.
  • Figs. 6A and 6B respectively, schematically show the cylindrical laminar flow and the non-laminar flow.
  • the water flow reaches the steel strip without divergence to give good cooling efficiency, resulting in rapid cooling at a rate exceeding 200°C/s.
  • the non-laminar flow since the flow velocity of the cooling water jetted from nozzles is reduced by cooling water remaining between the steel strip and the nozzles, even if the nozzles are disposed close to the steel strip, the cooling efficiency is low.
  • the conventional cooling apparatus uses laminar flow cooling nozzles for cooling the top surface of steel strip.
  • the cooling rate is 100°C/s at highest.
  • the cooling apparatus according to the present invention uses laminar nozzles as cooling water jetting nozzles as the conventional cooling apparatus, but the cooling apparatus according to the present invention can jet a large amount of cooling water at a water flow rate exceeding about 2,500L/min ⁇ m 2 .
  • the cooling water covers the entire steel strip and also the cooling water jetted from the nozzles is directly applied to the steel strip, making it possible to cool the steel strip of about 3mm in thickness at a cooling rate exceeding 200°C/s.
  • the cooling rate depends on the thickness of steel strip and increases as the thickness becomes thinner.
  • a cooling condition such as the water flow rate is constant, the product of the strip thickness and the cooling rate is almost constant. Accordingly, even when the strip is thick, the desired cooling rate can be achieved, for example, by increasing the water flow rate.
  • the diameter of the cooling water jetting nozzles of the present invention is preferably 1 to 10mm. When the diameter is smaller than 1mm, it is difficult to generate the cylindrical laminar flow. Since the cooling using the cooling apparatus according to the present invention needs collision pressure, the flow velocity at nozzle outlets is constant and the amount of water increases with increasing diameter of jetting outlets. However, since cooling capability is saturated at a certain amount of water, the jetting outlet diameter should be 10mm or less from an economic standpoint.
  • the above-mentioned protective members disposed between cooling water headers and steel strip play two roles of stably transferring the steel strip and protecting the cooling water headers and the cooling water jetting nozzles from collision with the steel strip.
  • the cooling water passage holes in the protective members function not only as jetting holes of cooling water and but as drain holes of jetted cooling water.
  • Each of the protective members provided with cooling water passage holes may be, for example, a flat plate having slits shown in Fig. 7A , a group of bars disposed in parallel shown in Fig. 7B , a grid shown in Fig. 7C , or an expanded metal shown in Fig. 7D . Since the protective members shown in Figs. 7B, 7C, and 7D make contact with the steel strip in a small area, the contact surface pressure increases. This readily causes seizing to the steel strip or indentation flaws on the steel strip. Thereby, flat plates, which have a minimum number of cooling water passage holes to pass the cooling water, provided with slits such as shown in Fig. 7A are preferable. Such protective members prevent flaws from generating on the steel strip.
  • the plate thickness is preferably 5mm or more in view of strength, rigidity, or the like of the steel strip.
  • the plate thickness is less than 5mm, the plates may become damaged or deformed by collision with the transferred steel strip.
  • Figs. 8A and 8B show an example of cooling means which is provided with protective members having cooling water passage holes in a slit shape shown in Fig. 7A .
  • Fig. 8A is a plan view of bottom surface cooling means.
  • Fig. 8B is a cross sectional view taken along line A-A in Fig. 8A.
  • Fig. 8B also shows top surface cooling means.
  • Each of the slit shaped cooling water passage holes 11 of the protective members 10 is provided with a plurality of cooling water jetting nozzles 15 to jet cooling water as the laminar flow 13.
  • the orifices of the slit shaped cooling water passage holes 11 are preferably as large as possible to drain jetted cooling water, but larger orifices cause collision of the leading end of the steel strip 9 with the slit edge resulting in seizing and damage. Accordingly, the size of an orifice of the slit shaped cooling water passage holes 11 is preferably large enough to hold about two to ten cooling water jetting nozzles 15 in a line, as shown in Fig. 8A .
  • Each of the slit shaped cooling water passage holes 11 may be provided with a plurality of nozzles being linearly disposed in a plurality of lines.
  • cooling water passage holes 11 it is not necessary for all the cooling water passage holes 11 to be slit shaped, although the majority of the cooling water passage holes 11 should be slit shaped. If some of the cooling water passage holes 11 are not slit shaped, this does not disturb the passage of the cooling water. In particular, at the center and both edges in the width direction of steel strip, it is difficult to form slit shaped cooling water passage holes 11 due to restriction of the arrangement.
  • the longitudinal direction of the slit shaped cooling water passage holes 11 inclines in the horizontal plane with respect to the transferring direction of the steel strip 9 in order to allow easy drainage to the outside of the cooling apparatus.
  • the longitudinal direction of the slit shaped cooling water passage holes 11 is perpendicular to the transferring direction of the steel strip 9, it may disturb the flow of the drainage or may cause collision of the leading end of the steel strip 9 with the slit shaped holes giving damage to the steel strip 9 and the cooling water passage holes 11.
  • the longitudinal direction of the slit shaped cooling water passage holes 11 is parallel to the transferring direction of the steel strip 9, the flow of the drainage is not smooth. As shown in Fig.
  • the slit shaped cooling water passage holes 11 are disposed so as to be almost axisymmetric to the central line of the run-out table and the longitudinal direction of the cooling water passage holes 11 inclines in the horizontal plane to diverge toward the transferring direction of the steel strip 9. This is more preferable for the smooth flow of the drainage to the outside of the cooling apparatus.
  • Fig. 9 shows an example of positional relationship between protective member, cooling water header and cooling water jetting nozzles in bottom surface cooling means.
  • the thickness of the protective members 10a is small, and tips 16 of the cooling water jetting nozzles 15 are disposed below the bottom surface of the protective members 10a.
  • Fig. 10 shows another example of positional relationship between protective member, cooling water header and cooling water jetting nozzles in bottom surface cooling means.
  • the thickness of the protective members 10a is large, and tips 16 of the cooling water jetting nozzles 15 are disposed inside the cooling water passage holes 11 of the protective members 10a.
  • the distance Xa from the tips 16 of the cooling water jetting nozzles to the surface of the steel strip 9 the distance Ya from the top surface of the protective members 10a to the surface of the steel strip, and the distance Za from the bottom surface of the protective members 10a to the cooling water headers 12a are determined as follows:
  • the impinging velocity of the laminar flow 13 of cooling water to the steel strip and the pitch between the cooling water jetting nozzles 15 are determined so as to achieve a desired cooling rate.
  • the distance Xa from the tips 16 of the cooling water jetting nozzles to the surface of the steel strip is determined to secure the impinging velocity in view of the diameter of the cooling water jetting nozzles 15. It is preferable that the distance Xa from the tips 16 of the cooling water jetting nozzles to the surface of the steel strip be 100mm or less.
  • the cooling water prevents the laminar flow 13 of the cooling water jetted from the cooling water jetting nozzles 15 from colliding with the steel strip.
  • the distance Xa exceeds 100mm, the flow velocity of the laminar flow 13 of the cooling water significantly decreases.
  • the tips 16 of the cooling water jetting nozzles are disposed farther from the steel strip 9 than the surface, opposing the steel strip 9, of the protective members 10a.
  • the distance Xa from the tips 16 of the cooling water jetting nozzles to the surface of the steel strip is determined to be longer than the distance Ya, which will be described below, from the top surfaces of the protective members 10a to the surface of the steel strip.
  • the distance Ya from the top surfaces of the protective members 10a to the surface of the steel strip is determined in view of stably transferring the steel strip 9 above the top surfaces of the protective members 10a.
  • the leading end of the transferred steel strip 9 bends downward to collide with the transfer rollers 7 and be bounced upward.
  • the leading end of the steel strip 9 further undulates vertically as the steel strip 9 is transferred, disturbing stable transferring.
  • the steel strip 9 may bend several times and cannot be transferred.
  • Such a phenomenon will readily occur when the Ya exceeds 50mm.
  • the Ya is smaller than 10mm, the steel strip 9 comes into contact with the protective members 10a, causing scratching in the steel strip and also bending of the steel strip described above. Consequently, the Ya is preferably 10 to 50mm.

  • the ratio of the diameter of the cooling water jetting nozzle to the length of a straight run of the cylindrical laminar nozzle used in the cooling water jetting nozzles 15 is preferably 5 to 20. The ratio over 20 increases the flow resistance, and thus the supply pressure of the cooling water should be increased, which is not economical.
  • the cooling water When the ratio is less than 5, the cooling water is jetted in non-laminar flow as shown in Fig. 6B , resulting in insufficient cooling capability.
  • the distance Za is determined in view of the cooling water amount drained through the cooling water passage holes 11 of the protective members 10a. More specifically, the cooling water jetted from the cooling water jetting nozzles 15 to cool the steel strip 9 flows into the space having the distance Ya between the protective members 10a and the steel strip and is drained through the following three paths: (i) both edges in the width direction of the space between the protective members 10a and the steel strip 9; (ii) the space between the protective members 10a and the transfer rollers 7; and (iii) the cooling water passage holes 11 provided in the protective members 10a.
  • the space between the protective members 10a and the transfer rollers 7 is usually, for example, 1mm or less so that the leading end of the steel strip 9 does not collide with the space. Consequently, the amount of cooling water drained through the path (ii) is small.
  • the protective members 10a should be provided with the cooling water passage holes 11 to drain the cooling water through the path (iii).
  • the area dimension of the cooling water passage holes 11 is determined, the amount of cooling water drained through the cooling water passage holes 11, which is the amount of cooling water falling on the cooling water headers 12a, is calculated from the planar dimension, and then the distance Za from the bottom surfaces of the protective members 10a to the cooling water headers 12a is determined.
