For these purposes, the device includes at least one cooling beam extending across the width of the conveyor line, and the cooling beam features a connection point to which a supply tube for cooling liquid can be connected, and a number of discharge openings arranged along a longitudinal axis of the cooling beam, such that cooling liquid can be discharged through the discharge openings in the direction of the metal strip or sheet that is to be cooled. Associated with each of the individual discharge openings is a respectively adjusted flow area, such that the flow areas of the respective discharge openings decrease in a direction leading away from the connecting point along the longitudinal axis of the cooling beam.

Rapid cooling section of a continuous metal strip treatment line, where the strip is cooled with a spray of liquid or a mixture of gas and liquid using nozzles located on each side of the strip. Along the direction of movement of the strip, it includes at least one row of flat spray nozzles across the strip followed by at least one row of cone spray nozzles across the strip.

A cooling device cooling an undersurface of a hot rolled steel sheet that is being transported on transport rolls after finish rolling of a hot rolling step includes: width divided cooling zones that are a plurality of cooling zones into which a whole cooling zone is divided in a sheet width direction; divided cooling sections that are a plurality of cooling zones into which each of the width divided cooling zones is divided in the rolling direction; a water nozzle spraying cooling water over each of undersurfaces of the divided cooling sections; a switching mechanism switching the cooling water between impinging and not impinging on the divided cooling sections; a width direction thermometer measuring a temperature distribution in the sheet width direction; and a controller controlling operation of the switching mechanism.

A cooling bar (1) for cooling rolled material (5) being moved in a transport direction (3) and in particular for reducing temperature differences in the temperature of the rolled material (5) transversely to the direction of transport (3). The cooling bar (1) has several full jet nozzles (11) by means of which a coolant beam of a coolant with an approximately constant jet diameter can be distributed to the rolling stock (5) in the direction of distribution (15). A cooling device has at least two cooling bars (1) of that type. The cooling bars extend transversely to a transport direction, one behind the other. Each cooling bar has a respective different pattern of jet nozzles and selection of applicable pattern of jet nozzles in their respective bars selectively cools the rolled material transversely to the transport direction.

Provided is a coolant spray module system for a heat treatment metal product, comprising: a first coolant spray module (1), wherein the first coolant spray module (1) comprises a first module housing (10), a first module cover (20), and a first nozzle (30), wherein the first nozzle (30) is fixed between the first module housing (10) and the first module cover (20) by first nozzle fixing blocks (13) and second nozzle fixing blocks (23), wherein the coolant spray module system sprays the coolant onto the heat treatment metal product to quench and clean the heat treatment metal product.

A rolling mill includes a frame, at least one pair of working cylinders capable of defining the air gap of the strip to be rolled, as well at least one line for spraying a lubricant and/or coolant fluid, arranged next to the plane of the strip to be rolled. The line is rigidly connected to the frame via a hinged mechanical link, the mechanical link including a resilient unit forcing the line into at least one operational position, toward the plane of the strip, and allowing, in the event that a force on the line tends to separate the line, greater than a threshold value, the deformation of the resilient unit against the return force thereof, and thus the retraction of the line toward a position separated from the at least one operational position.

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.
