본 연구에서는 제철소 열연공정의 냉각효율 개선을 위한 기초연구로 수행되었 다. 전열면의 초기온도가 900.deg. C이상일 때 층류 냉각방식에 의한 고온강판의 냉각특 성에 영향을 주는 모든 인자를 엄밀히 고려하는 것은 매우 어려운 일이다.따라서 본 연구에서는 노즐과 고온면 사이 거리(L), 유량(Q), 냉각 초기온도 등을 실제 작업 조건에 가깝게 변화시켜 가면서 수냉반경의 변화를 중심으로 전열면의 냉각 특성을 해 석하였다.
The cooling characteristics of a hot steel plate by a laminar impinging water bar were investigated experimentally. The dynamic parameters investigated were nozzle height L between nozzle and the hot plate, flow rate Q, and initial cooling temperature. Because the boiling phenomena on a hot steel plate are unsteady and change discontinuously, it is difficult to analyze the cooling characteristics directly. In this study the cooling efficiency was estimated by using the temperature decay rates and expansion speed of the water cooling zone. Temperature in the water cooling zone decreased rapidly and the radius of the water cooling zone expanded nearly in proportion to square root of the cooling time. With increasing initial temperature of a hot steel plate, the cooling efficiency became descendent. The cooling curve in the case of L/D = 30 showed the largest temperature decay rate and excellent cooling performance.
