X-Pact^® Cooling Section Control

Challenges

• Production of a wide range of hot rolled products

Solution

• Phase transformation model
• Austenite decomposition model
• Enthalpy model
• Heat transition model

Technical advantages

• Very high accuracy for repeatable material properties
• Cooling strategies for a wide range of hot rolled products
• Can be used with many different mechanical designs
• Variable coiling temperature to achieve desired material properties along strip length

Quality

• Exact control of coiling temperature
• By using super reinforced cooling alloy elements saving up to 2 – 3 €/t possible
• By using compact cooling alloy elements saving up to 6 – 7 €/t possible
