Plate cooling
“The” metallurgical tool in plate production
The optimal plate cooling strategy plays an essential part in setting the required material properties. This is especially true for advanced high strength materials. Our plate cooling systems offer you high cooling rates, flexible cooling strategies and exact control by using a most capable X-Pact® Plate Cooling Control. Our cooling model provides in-bar temperature cooling strategies over the entire plate length and applies true-to-life material models and algorithms to formulate temperature equations, in this way precisely determining the temperature distribution and microstructure components, and ultimately the mechanical properties.
