Steel Secondary Cooling

For consistent, controlled cooling, you’ll find the nozzles you need in our full line to use in steel industry.

Air atomizing and hydraulic nozzles are available in a wide range of styles, sizes, flow rates, spray angles and spray patterns. If you’re casting different widths and grades of steel, our nozzles can help improve surface quality, reduce air and water consumption and lower maintenance time. For additional cooling and quenching, our full cone nozzles provide uniform sprays over a wide range of flow rates and pressures.

A good nozzle layout is paramount in fulfilling the operational and production requirements of the caster. In designing a nozzle layout, it is not only important to consider the solidification and metallurgical requirements of the steel grades to be cast, but also the behaviour of the nozzles under operational conditions, the machine segment design and the roll support configuration. It is essential that nozzle arrangements produce an even heat removal across the strand while maintaining a stable spray pattern.
