My aim objective :  Researches engineer in energetic-mechanics.
Internship  :  Background   This internship is carried out under the project Optcoolub  Optimize cooling systems in cold rolling in order to reduce water consumption.  Make better lubrication on cold rolling mills
Internship  :  involvement  Analysis and optimization of  lubrication and cooling system in cold rolling The second aim is:   Study of 13 roll cooling trials to understand cooling mechanism in roll and strip ( HTC, Flux, T°).     Brno collaboration. Propose an optimum mill cooling configuration and confirm by pilot trials ARsa.  The primary aim is :  Developing / completing a modeling of cooling system : simulator Avilès HTCs ( coolant-strip and coolant-roll ) Rheology Identify actions increasing the efficiency of cooling
The primary aim :   Developing / completing a modeling cooling system : simulator Avilès 1)  HTCs 2)  Rheology
Thermal simulator:   HTC(x) strip-coolant   Advantage: It takes into account: the parameters:  ,  and   f ( T )  influence of speed V Improvement     H eat  T ransfer  C oefficient of strip-coolant interface along mill interstand Current situation Weakness: It does not take into account: Strip temperature The water flow “explicitly”.      Not Adapted for high temperatures of strip  Forced convection:
Thermal simulator :  HTC(x)    What happen in a high strip temperature  “Typically Ts >100°C at least “ ? Problem  the material-coolant interface: vapor ,HTC  The first appearance of bubbles promotes the exchange of heat. Higher the temperature higher  the agitation of water “convection" 20°C 300°C
Thermal simulator:  HTC(x)   Improvement  When T°<100°    : natural convection  When T°>100°    :  Hodgson  model Weakness: “ to verify” It does not take into account: influence of speed V Advantage: It takes into account: Strip temperature The water flow .  example of strip temperature evolution
Thermal simulator:  Rheology Current situation Strip heat transfers in the roll bite: strip plastic yield stress We use the SMATCH law   Weakness: “ to verify” Does not take into account  The strain rate  Temperature Plastic deformation Frictional heat Heat conduction
Thermal simulator:  Rheology Problem  : the graphics show that strip rheology depends on the strain rate  We made  those experiences for 3 steel grades of AVILES.  To validate the LUCY-BALISTIK model. Influence of speed Our experiment  Influence of temperature Literature data
Thermal simulator:  Rheology Advantage    predicting precisely the evolution of metal hardness  along the rolling mill Improvement     Integrate  LUCY-BALISYIK model  in our simulator:
Second aim is:   Study of 13 roll cooling trials to understand cooling mechanism in roll and strip ( HTC, Flux, T°).  Propose an optimized mill cooling configuration and confirm by pilot trials ARsa.
Conditions defined for realization at stand  #4 of Aviles TDM2   Brno has characterized 13 roll cooling configurations for Optcoolub project
Method of operating results Heat flux variation as a function of time A specific program was developed to extract Flux and temperature measured under the direct spray during the tests. Time  Temperature  study area
AV13-4 Evolution of Flux and HTC with  a temperature of the cylinder HTC mesuré et HTC Loi  en fonction de la température moyenne  de surface de cylindre 0 5000 10000 15000 20000 25000 0 50 100 150 200 250 300 Température moyenne de surface cyl  °C HTC  ( w / m ² K ) HTCmoy w / m ² K Flux dependency to roll surface temperature is higher
Results  with our analysis Results  with Brno analysis  ±500 : 13- 12- 8- 6 - 11 HTC average for each configuration “ position 4” at T water  = 0°c Results  obtained with Brno analysis Results  with Brno analysis  ±200 : 13- 6- 8- 12 - 9 Configuration common among all tests:  13-6-12 HTC average for each configuration
If we use the flux as an indicator of the efficiency of cooling, somme differences in the classification are obtained (compared to classification with HTC) However, we can conclud that config. N°6 is a good configuration as already concluded by Brno Average flux for each configuration 0 200 400 600 800 1000 1200 1400 1600 1800 Flux moy (w/m²) AV4-1 AV4-2 AV4-3 AV4-4 AV4-5 AV4-6 AV4-7 AV4-8 AV4-9 AV4-10 AV4-11 AV4-12 AV4-13 Mean heat Flux for each test.

N°13 Uniformity of HTC with distribution of flow Conclusions : globally, when the flow is strongly heterogeneous, the HTC seems heterogeneous also, but HTC does not follow irregularities of the flow HTC w/m²°C
Conclusion 1 er  aim : thermal simulator Improvement of inter-stand heat transfer model The  rheology  experiments have been done  2 nd  aim : optimized mill cooling configuration Analysis of 13 roll cooling trials. Experiment planning has been done.
