Table 1: Cooling Requirements in Rolling Mills

Stage Target Temp (Β°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°–30Β° Initial shell solidification
Secondary Flat fan 30°–60Β° Uniform shell thickening
Final Zone Full cone 60°–90Β° Final cooling before cutting

Table 3: Cooling Efficiency by Spray Pressure

Spray Pressure (bar) Droplet Size (Β΅m) Heat Transfer Efficiency Scale Reduction
3–5 250–300 Moderate Low
6–10 150–200 High Moderate
10–15 80–120 Very High High
