Apparatus for cooling rapidly moving rolled material

摘要

Rolled material leaving a rolling mill is cooled by passing it through a series of guide tubes. A pre-mixed mixture of air and water is injected into each of the tubes by nozzles facing in the direction in which the wire passes, and the wire is cooled by the mixture. The water can be removed at the downstream end of the apparatus by a nozzle facing in the opposite direction to that in which the wire travels.
