  • Description: This is the final report of the selective roll cooling project. The general aim of this pilot and demonstration programme is to demonstrate that the cooling of big grooved work rolls can strongly be improved by the use of advanced cooling technology and a selective cooling strategy. Long product mills observe frequently severe work roll thermal fatigue at certain positions. This increases the roll costs and decreases the product quality. To improve the work roll life time, several new roll cooling systems have been developed and tested. Three industrial stands have been selected to work on; the sheet piling finishing stand of Arcelor Mittal Belval and the intermediate and finishing stand of the Tata steel Scunthorpe Rail and Section Mill. Each system is designed to have the optimal cooling of the work roll where needed. Characterisation- and industrial trials demonstrated the superiority of the new developed cooling systems in comparison with the current cooling systems. Not only is the work roll surface temperature lower, also the surface quality improves. This project also demonstrated the aptitude for further improvements by implementing high turbulence roll cooling. The industrial implementation is however not considered by the mill management as their targets have been reached and HTRC work roll cooling requires more attention related to the different profiles.
