Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a reverse rolling mill and a method of cooling a steel plate or sheet according to the preamble of claims 1 and 12 respectively (see, for example, JP 2001/286 925 A ).
  • thick steel plates having high quality are produced by subjecting a rolled material to controlled rolling (CR). That is, a slab heated to 1000°C or more is rolled to a predetermined thickness, and is then rolled again to a final thickness in a state in which the temperature of the rolled material is in a non-recrystallization temperature range or a temperature range close thereto.
  • a slab having a thickness of 200 to 300 mm is heated to about 1100 to 1200°C, and is rolled to about 1.5 to 2 times the final thickness.
  • controlled rolling is started, and the slab is rolled to the final thickness (e.g., 15 mm).
  • controlled rolling start temperature when the temperature at which controlled rolling is performed (controlled rolling start temperature) is low and the thickness with which controlled rolling is performed (controlled rolling start thickness) is large, much time is taken for the temperature of the rolled material to reach the controlled rolling start temperature. Therefore, the rolled material should wait in air cooling state or shower cooling state on a rolling line near a rolling mill (reversing rolling mill) until the material temperature reachs controlled rolling start temperature. As a result, waiting time is caused in the rolling mill by waiting for cooling, and this reduces the rolling productivity.
  • Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 55-106615 discloses a controlled rolling method in which a shower-type cooling device is disposed at each of the front and rear sides of a reversing rolling mill and a rolled material is rolled by the reversing rolling mill in each rolling path while being cooled by water in the cooling device.
  • Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2005-000979 discloses a technique in which water cooling equipment(temperature adjustment cooling equipment) is provided, and a material rolled to a predetermined thickness by a reversing rolling mill is cooled by water to the predetermined controlled rolling start temperature in the water cooling equipment, and is rolled again to the final thickness by reversing rolling mill.
  • This water cooling equipment is placed at a distance of about 20 m from the reversing rolling mill in order to avoid interference of rolling of another.
  • a damming rolls can be used as a method for damming cooling water remaining on the upper surface of the steel plate.
  • conveyance trouble for example, a conveyed steel plate will collide with the damming rolls.
  • Another method is flashing by use of air jet. However, this is not effective for a high flow rate of cooling water.
  • temperature adjustment cooling to the predetermined controlled rolling start temperature is performed by the water cooling equipment disposed at a distance of about 20 m from the rolling mill. Therefore, much time is taken to perform cooling including conveyance of the steel plate, and it is impossible to sufficiently prevent the reduction in rolling productivity.
  • Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 62-260022 discloses a technique of cooling a steel plate by supplying cooling water thereto.
  • a slit nozzle unit for ejecting jets of cooling water opposing in the transferring direction of the steel plate is moved up and down, and is used together with laminar nozzles and spray nozzles provided separately. This ensures a wide range of cooling rates.
  • Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 59-144513 discloses another technique of cooling a steel plate by supplying cooling water thereto. This publication states that a high cooling rate can be obtained by ejecting cooling water films from obliquely opposing headers having slit-shaped nozzles, and by filling the space between the steel plate and partition plates with the cooling water.
  • Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2001-286925 discloses a further technique of cooling a steel plate by supplying cooling water thereto.
  • slit-shaped nozzles or flat spray nozzles are respectively disposed on the upstream and downstream sides of the steel plate and above the steel plate, and cooling water is ejected from these nozzles at a jet angle (an angle with respect to the normal to the steel plate) within the range of 20 to 60° such that the jets of cooling water oppose each other. Consequently, the cooling water on the steel plate can uniformly flow, and nonuniform cooling can be prevented.
  • Cooling water can be shaped into films only when the jet openings are always maintained in a clean state. For example, when a jet opening of a slit nozzle 52 is clogged by a foreign substance 60 adhering thereto, as shown in Fig. 15 , a cooling water film or curtain 53 is broken. Further, the cooling water needs to be jet with a high pressure so as to be dammed in a jet area (cooling area).
  • the present invention has been made with view of the above-described circumstances, and aims to provide cooling equipment and a cooling method for a steel plate or sheet which can properly cool the steel plate or sheet with a compact size on a hot rolling line.
  • the present invention also aims to provide hot rolling equipment and a hot rolling method for a steel plate or sheet in which the steel plate or sheet is uniformly cooled during controlled rolling and a high product quality is achieved, and in which the reduction in rolling productivity due to, for example, waiting for cooling can be prevented.
  • the present invention also aims to provide cooling equipment and a cooling method for a steel plate or sheet in which the steel plate or sheet can be uniformly and stably cooled at a high cooling rate when cooling water is supplied onto an upper surface of the steel plate or sheet.
  • JP 2002 066605 A provides a rolling apparatus and method adaptable to various kinds of steel capable of micronizing a metal structure with an inexpensive machine structure using a reversible rolling mill.
  • a hot rolling apparatus comprising a reversible hot rolling mill 100 that repeatedly rolls a rolling material changing a pass direction and heat insulators 4, 5 that uncoil and wind the rolling material from the rolling mill and keep a temperature of the rolling material after rolling, there are mounted, at both sides of an inlet and an outlet of the rolling mill, a cooling means capable of cooling down the rolling material to the temperature of not more than an Ar1 transformation point, and a heating means capable of heating the rolling material to the temperature of not less than an Ac1 transformation point or not less than an Ac3 transformation point.
  • the uncoiled rolling material is cooled down to the temperature of not more than the Ar1 transformation point and, after being rolled at this temperature, the rolling material is reheated to the temperature of not less than the Ac3 transformation point, and a rolling pass for winding the rolling material is repeatedly conducted changing the pass direction.
  • EP 1 527 829 A1 relates to a cooling apparatus for hot rolled steel strip comprising: top surface cooling means provided above a hot rolled steel strip transferred with transfer rollers after hot rolling to cool the top surface of the hot rolled steel strip; and bottom surface cooling means provided below the hot rolled steel strip to cool the bottom surface of the hot rolled steel strip, each of the top surface cooling means and the bottom surface cooling means comprising: a protective member disposed close to the surface of the hot rolled steel strip, having at least one cooling water passage hole; at least one cooling water header opposing the hot rolled steel strip separated by the protective member; and cooling water jetting nozzles protruding from the cooling water header and jetting cooling water approximately vertically toward the surface of the hot rolled steel strip through the cooling water passage hole, wherein the tips of the cooling water jetting nozzles are disposed farther from the hot rolled steel strip than the surface, opposing the hot rolled steel strip, of the protective member.

  • the nozzles are arranged so that jets of cooling water oppose each other on the steel plate or sheet in the transferring direction, the supplied cooling water itself dams remaining cooing water on the steel plate or sheet, and draining can be performed without an additional device such as a damming rolls.
  • the steel plate or sheet can be properly cooled with a compact size on the hot rolling line.
  • the pass-type cooling equipment having a high water flow rate of 4 m 3 /m 2 min or more is disposed close to the reversing rolling mill, the predetermined controlled rolling start temperature can be efficiently obtained by simultaneously rolling and cooling the steel plate or sheet, and this avoids the decrease in rolling productivity due to, for example, waiting for cooling.
  • the nozzles are arranged so that the jets of cooling water oppose each other in the transferring direction on the steel plate or sheet, and the cooling water is supplied at a high water flow rate of 4 m 3 /m 2 min or more. Therefore, the supplied cooling water itself dams the remaining cooling water on the steel plate or sheet and properly performs draining. This achieves a stable cooling area.
  • the steel plate or sheet is uniformly cooled during controlled rolling, and a high product quality is obtained.
  • the reduction in rolling productivity due to, for example, waiting for cooling can be prevented.
  • the present invention allows the steel plate or sheet to be uniformly cooled to the target temperature at a high cooling rate. As a result, a high-quality steel plate or sheet can be produced.
  • Fig. 1 is a layout view of hot rolling equipment for a steel plate or sheet according to an embodiment of the present invention.
  • a reheating furnace 11, a reversing rolling mill 12, and cooling equipment 20 are arranged in this embodiment.
  • the cooling equipment 20 is provided close to each of the entrance side (upstream side) and the exit side (downstream side) of the reversing rolling mill 12.
  • the cooling equipment (also referred to as a cooling unit) 20 is pass-type cooling equipment, and includes an upper header unit 21 for supplying cooling water onto an upper surface of a steel plate or sheet 10 and a lower header 31 for supplying cooling water onto a lower surface of the steel plate or sheet 10, as shown in Fig. 2 .
  • reference numeral 13 denotes a table roller.
  • Figs. 3 and 16 are detailed views of the cooling equipment 20.
  • the cooling equipment 20 is provided between the reversing rolling mill 12 and a side guide 14 in Fig. 3 , and is provided on the upstream side (a reheating furnace side) of the side guide 14 and near the reversing rolling mill 12 in Fig. 16 .
  • the cooling equipment 20 includes the upper header unit 21 and the lower header 31, as described above.
  • the upper header unit 21 includes a pair of upper headers 21a and 21b.
  • an upper header close to the reversing rolling mill 12 is referred to as a first upper header 21a
  • an upper header remote from the reversing rolling mill 12 is referred to as a second upper header 21b.
  • the first upper header 21a and the second upper header 21b are respectively provided with cylindrical nozzles 22a and 22b arranged in the width direction of the steel plate or sheet.
  • the cylindrical nozzles 22a and 22b are also arranged in a plurality of rows in the transferring direction (herein, six rows in the transferring direction of the steel plate or sheet 10).
  • the cylindrical nozzles (first upper nozzles) 22a of the first upper header 21a and the cylindrical nozzles (second upper nozzles) 22b of the second upper header 21b are arranged so that rod-like jets of cooling water supplied from the nozzles 22a and rod-like jets of cooling water supplied from the nozzles 22b oppose each other in the transferring direction of the steel plate or sheet 10.
  • first upper nozzles 22a eject rod-like jets of cooling water 23a at an inclination ⁇ 1 (jet angle) from the side of the reversing rolling mill 12, and the second upper nozzles 22b eject rod-like jets of cooling water 23b at an inclination ⁇ 2 (jet angle) toward the reversing rolling mill 12.
  • a rod-like jet of cooling water in the present invention refers to cooling water jetted from a nozzle opening having a circular shape (including elliptical and polygonal shapes).
  • the rod-like jet flow of cooling water in the present invention does not refer to a spray jet, but refers to a continuous and straight flow of cooling water having a cross-section kept substantially circular while the flow heads from the nozzle opening to the steel plate or sheet.
  • the remaining cooling water 24 shown in Figs. 3 and 16 is stably formed by preventing the jet lines of rod-like jets of cooling water 23a from the first upper. nozzles 22a from intersecting the jet lines of rod-like jets of cooling water 23b from the second upper nozzle 22b. Consequently, rod-like jets of cooling water are ejected from the cylindrical nozzles in rows (innermost rows) closest to the opposite upper headers toward the film of remaining cooling water 24. This is preferable because the rod-like jets of cooling water from the nozzles do not break the rod-like jets of cooling water from the nozzles in the opposite upper header.
  • the remaining region length when the remaining region length is 1.5 m or less, the effect of the remaining water 24 will be relatively low in cooling of the steel plate or sheet 10. Therefore, it is possible to prevent non-uniform cooling at the leading or tail end of the steel plate or sheet 10, on which remaining water is unsteady.
  • Figs. 4A and 4B show layout examples of the cylindrical nozzles 22a and 22b attached to the upper headers 21a and 21b.
  • the cylindrical nozzles 22a are arranged in six rows in the transferring direction of the steel plate or sheet 10
  • the cylindrical nozzles 22b are arranged in six rows in the transferring direction.
  • a plurality of rows are arranged in the transferring direction because only one row of nozzles can fail to dam the remaining cooling water between the jet collision spots on the steel plate or sheet 10. Therefore, it is preferable that three or more rows be arranged in the transferring direction. It is more preferable that five or more rows be arranged.
  • the cylindrical nozzles are arranged in the plate or sheet width direction so that cooling water can be supplied over the entire width of the passing steel plate or sheet 10. While two upper headers are provided herein, they may be combined into one header, and the cylindrical nozzles 22a and 22b may be arranged in the header.
  • Cylindrical nozzles 32 are attached to each lower header 31 so as to eject rod-like jets of cooling water 33 from between the table rollers 13 and to supply the cooling water over the entire width of the passing steel plate or sheet 10.
  • cooling water is supplied from the upper headers 21a and 21b onto the upper surface of the steel plate or sheet 10 so that the water flow rate on the steel plate or sheet surface is 4 m 3 /m 2 min or more, according to the present invention.
  • cooling water is supplied from the lower headers 31 onto the lower surface of the steel plate or sheet 10 so that the water flow rate on the steel plate or sheet surface is 4 m 3 /m 2 min or more.
  • the remaining cooling water 24 shown in Figs. 3 and 16 is formed by being dammed by the supplied rod-like jets of cooling water 23a and 23b. In this case, when the water flow rate is low, damming is impossible. When the water flow rate exceeds a certain rate, the amount of remaining cooling water 24 can be dammed and drained from the widthwise edge of the plate or sheet smoothly.
  • a steel plate or sheet steel plate or sheet has a width of 2 to 5 m.
  • a volume of remaining cooling water can be constant, and a desired temperature drop can be obtained uniformly over the whole part of the steel plate or sheet 10 in passing during rolling.
  • the total waiting time for controlled rolling becomes shorter. For example, when the water flow rate is low, waiting for cooling can be avoided only in a thin plate rolling. By increasing the water flow rate, waiting for cooling can be avoided even in thicker plate rolling. The effect of reducing the total waiting time for controlled rolling becomes smaller at a higher water flow rate increases. Therefore, it is preferable to determine the water flow rate in consideration of the effect of reducing the total waiting time for controlled rolling and the equipment cost. A more preferable water flow rate is 4 to 10 m 3 /m 2 min.
  • the cooling equipment 20 In order to provide the cooling equipment 20 with a compact size and to cool the steel plate or sheet at the position close to the reversing rolling mill 12, the cooling equipment 20 is located so that the remaining region length is 1.5 m or less, the cooling area is 3 m or less, and the cooling equipment 20 is disposed at a position close to the reversing rolling mill 12, excluding the side guide provided on the entrance side and/or the exit side of the reversing rolling mill 12. In general, this position is set at a distance of 20 m or less from a work roll center 12a of the reversing rolling mill 12.
  • the cooling area outside the side guide so as not to overlap with the side guide, cooling water remaining on the upper surface of the steel plate or sheet 10 is smoothly drained from the widthwise edges of the steel plate or sheet 10 without being obstructed by the side guide 14.

  • a large cooling equipment with a long cooling area can be set in a wide space.
  • the cooling area can be provided between the work roll center 12a of the reversing rolling mill 12 and the side guide 14, and on the upstream side of the side guide 14 shown in Fig. 16 .
  • the rod-like jets of cooling water 23a ejected from the first upper nozzles 22a oppose the rod-like jets of cooling water 23b ejected from the second upper nozzles 22b in the transferring direction of the steel plate or sheet 10. Therefore, the ejected rod-like jets of cooling water 23a and 23b dam the remaining cooling water 24 on the upper surface of the steel plate or sheet 10 that attempts to flow out of water cooling area. Consequently, even when the cooling water is supplied at a high water flow rate of 4 m 3 /m 2 min or more, a stable cooling area can be obtained, and uniform cooling can be performed.
  • the cooling water ejected from the upper nozzles 22a and 22b is not in a film shape obtained by using slit nozzles or the like, but is in a rod shape because the rod-like jet of cooling water can form a more stable flow and has a stronger force for damming the remaining cooling water.
  • the jet angle ⁇ 1 of the first upper nozzles 22a and the jet angle ⁇ 2 of the second upper nozzles 22b is 30° to 60°. If the jet angle ⁇ 1 and the jet angle ⁇ 2 are less than 30°, it is necessary to place the first upper nozzles 22a and the second upper nozzles 22b far apart from each other, and the length of the equipment increases. Moreover, vertical velocity components of the rod-like jets of cooling water 23a and 23b decrease, the rod-like jets of cooling water 23a and 23b do not strike the steel plate or sheet 10 hard, and the cooling ability is reduced.
  • the jet angle ⁇ 1 and the jet angle ⁇ 2 are more than 60°, the velocity components of the rod-like jets of cooling water 23a and 23b in the transferring direction decrease, and the force for damming the remaining cooling water 24 decreases.
  • the jet angle ⁇ 1 and the jet angle ⁇ 2 do not always need to be equal to each other. More preferably, the jet angle ⁇ 1 and the jet angle ⁇ 2 are set at 40° to 50°.

  • the upper limit of number of rows can be appropriately determined in accordance with the size of the steel plate or sheet to be cooled, the transferring speed, and the target temperature drop.
  • the jet velocity exceeds 30 m/s, pressure loss increases, and wear of the nozzle inner surface increases. Further, the pump capacity and the outer diameter of the pipes increase, and the equipment cost becomes too high. For this reason, it is preferable that the jet velocity be 30 m/s or less.
  • the distance between the nozzles adjacent on an imaginary line drawn in the plate width direction is set to be ten times the nozzle inner diameter or less.
  • Fig. 4A shows a layout example in which six rows of nozzles are provided in the transferring direction while the distance between the adjacent nozzles is 40 mm

  • the length of the equipment is short. Further, since the upper nozzles 22a and 22b are arranged so that the jets of cooling water oppose each other in the transferring direction on the steel plate or sheet 10, the supplied rod-like jets of cooling water 23a and 23b themselves dam the remaining cooling water 24 on the steel plate or sheet 10, thus performing draining. Draining is properly performed without any additional device such as a damming rolls. As a result, the steel plate or sheet can be properly cooled with a compact structure on the hot rolling line, for example, during controlled rolling.
  • the pass-type cooling equipment 20 having a high water flow rate of 4 m 3 /m 2 min or more is disposed close to the reversing rolling mill 12, the predetermined control temperature can be efficiently obtained by simultaneously rolling and cooling the steel plate or sheet 10, and this avoids the reduction in rolling productivity due to, for example, waiting for cooling.

Therefore, the rod-like jets of cooling water 23a and 23b themselves dam the remaining cooling water 24 on the steel plate or sheet 10 and properly perform draining. This achieves a stable cooling area.
  • the steel plate or sheet is uniformly cooled during controlled rolling, and a high product quality can be obtained. Moreover, the rolling productivity is prevented from being reduced by, for example, waiting for cooling.

More specifically, if the number of nozzles pointing in one outward direction is 60% or more of the total number of nozzles and the cooling water is not uniformly drained from the plate or sheet ends, the rod-like jets of cooling water cannot dam the remaining cooling water at a position where the layer of the remaining cooling water is thick, and the temperature may vary in the width direction.
