Analysis of the factors affecting thermal evolution of hot rolled steel during coil cooling

摘要

The thermal evolution of steel coil during cooling was simulated and investigated by the use of in-house Q-CSP~® software. The dependence of the thermal evolution of steel coil on cooling methods, temperature distribution of the strip before coiling, coil size and steel grades was also discussed. The study plays a significant role in helping steel makers to better understand and control the cooling process.
