Systems and methods of quenching a metal substrate include cooling a top surface and a bottom surface of the metal substrate until a strip temperature is cooled to an intermediate temperature. Cooling of the top surface of the metal substrate is discontinued when the strip temperature reaches the intermediate temperature, and cooling of the bottom surface of the metal substrate continues until the metal substrate reaches a target temperature, where the target temperature is less than the intermediate temperature.

A cold rolling mill rolling condition calculation method includes: an estimation step of estimating a rolling constraint condition with respect to a target steady rolling condition of a roll target material, by inputting second multi-dimensional data to a prediction model, the prediction model having been trained with explanatory variable and response variable, the explanatory variable being first multi-dimensional data generated based on non-steady rolling performance data, among past rolling performance in rolling a roll material by a cold rolling mill, and the response variable being steady rolling performance data and rolling constraint condition data during steady rolling, and the second multi-dimensional data having been generated based on non-steady rolling performance data of the roll target material; and a change step of changing the target steady rolling condition so that the estimated rolling constraint condition satisfies a predetermined condition.

The invention relates to a cooling device with coolant jets having a hollow cross section. A treatment line for a flat, elongate, hot rolling stock made of metal has a finishing train for rolling the rolling stock and a cooling device. The cooling device can, as required, be located upstream or downstream of the finishing train or within the finishing train. The cooling device has a first cooling bar, which extends fully over the rolling stock, seen in the width direction of the rolling stock. The first cooling bar has, facing the rolling stock, several coolant outlets by means of which water is applied to the rolling stock. The coolant outlets are arranged in the first coolant bar in a positionally fixed manner extending in at least one width direction (y) of the rolling stock and each have, within the respective row, a predefined distance from one another.

During stabilization of a metal band (1) on a roller path (2), the band (1) is to be only minimally cooled via the stabilisation. A device for that includes multiple protective runners (3), each oriented in the conveyor direction (R), for guiding the band (1), wherein the protective runners (3) are arranged above the roller path (2) and the protective runners (3) are at a distance from one another in a width direction (B) of the band (1). Multiple rows (4) of nozzles are arranged in the conveyor direction (R) or in the width direction (B) of the band. Each row (4) of nozzles includes multiple nozzles (5). The nozzles (5) are set back in relation to an underside of the protective runners (3), such that an arched band (1) cannot come into contact with the nozzles (5). A compressed air supply (6) and a network of tubes or pipelines (7) supply the nozzles (5) with compressed air, wherein the nozzles (5) apply compressed air to the upper side of the band (1) in order to stabilize the movement of the band (1) on the roller path (2).

A spray device lubricates and cools a strip and/or an air gap of a roller stand having multiple rollers. The spray device has a fixed spray table with an elongated shape and configured to be rigidly connected to a plurality of mounting plates in a row of bearing rollers of the roller stand. The fixed spray table includes a network for dispensing a fluid for lubricating and cooling via a plurality of nozzles, a connector for connecting the fluid-dispensing network to a network for supplying the fluid, and an attachment device for rigidly connecting the table to the mounting plates. In addition, a method for removing/inserting the spray device from/into the roller stand is described.

The present invention relates to a rolling facility and a rolling method. According to the present invention, the rolling facility comprises: a roughing mill having a roughing mill roll for pressing a material to be transferred; a finishing mill having a finishing mill roll, which is provided on a material transfer path, and pressing the material having passed through the roughing mill; a wiper device provided at a feed-in side of the finishing mill roll, polishing the surface of the finishing mill roll, and supplying cooling fluid to the material; and a cooling device provided on the material transfer path and cooling the material having passed through the finishing mill, wherein the wiper device can include a plurality of cooling header units for supplying the cooling fluid to the material at different positions.

A cooling system is provided includes a target material and a plenum or header structure. A plurality of nozzle structures is coupled to the plenum or header structure that provides a uniform flow stream from each nozzle structure. The nozzle structure are angled away from the center of the target material as well as being angled in the direction of travel of the target material so as to improve cooling uniformity by providing independent fluid paths from each of the nozzle structures to the edge of the target material reducing the interaction of fluid streams from adjacent nozzle structures.

This invention is in the preparation of bulk nanostructured pure titanium at cryogenic temperatures using equal channel angular pressing and rolling, allowing the whole microstructures of pure titanium to be refined into the one that the mean grain size is smaller than 100 nm.
