Table 1: Cooling Requirements in Rolling Mills
| Stage | Target Temp (°C) | Spray Type | Key Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Roughing | 950–1050 | Flat fan, high flow | Reduce scale, control heat |
| Intermediate | 850–950 | Fine mist, medium impact | Surface conditioning |
| Finishing | 650–750 | Uniform spray headers | Shape control, quality finish |
Table 2: Continuous Casting Spray Zones
| Zone | Nozzle Type | Spray Angle | Cooling Role |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mold Exit | Air–water mist | 15°–30° | Initial shell solidification |
| Secondary | Flat fan | 30°–60° | Uniform shell thickening |
| Final Zone | Full cone | 60°–90° | Final cooling before cutting |
Table 3: Cooling Efficiency by Spray Pressure
| Spray Pressure (bar) | Droplet Size (µm) | Heat Transfer Efficiency | Scale Reduction |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3–5 | 250–300 | Moderate | Low |
| 6–10 | 150–200 | High | Moderate |
| 10–15 | 80–120 | Very High | High |
