Abstract:
The disclosure relates to a device for dispensing one or more jets of cryogenic fluid, particularly liquid nitrogen, comprising a fluid conveying pipeline feeding one or more fluid dispensing nozzles arranged at the downstream end of said pipeline, and a motor collaborating with the fluid conveying pipeline via a rotary transmission shaft and a transmission mechanism.
Abstract:
The descaling device (100) of the interior of a tube (1) comprises a supporting structure (9), a conveyor (2) for conveying the tube (1) with an inclinable stretch to arrange the tube in an inclined position by an angle with respect to the horizontal plane, a lance (3) with nozzles (4) to spray a fluid inside the tube (1) to carry out the operation of descaling the inner surface. The lance (3) is fixed to guides (7) above the conveyor (2) in an inclined position with respect to the horizontal plane, and may axially slide within the tube (1) during the descaling operation by spraying water into the tube.
Abstract:
A method for cleaning and/or descaling a slab or a preliminary strip by a descaling device that has a nozzle, through which pressurized water is discharged onto the surface of the slab strip. The outlet of the nozzle is rectangular, or is slit-shaped and has an arcuate course at least in some sections, in the direction normal to the surface of the slab or strip, such that the water is discharged as a continuously strip-shaped jet across the entire width of the slab or strip. The width of the outlet of the nozzle in a conveying direction of the slab or strip is between 0.2 mm and 1.5 mm. The water is fed to the nozzle at a pressure between 5 bar and 50 bar. The distance between the outlet of the nozzle and the surface of the slab or strip is between 8 mm and 50 mm.

Abstract:
A platform for industrial installations, in particular for high-pressure descalers (3a) or other machines (3) with optionally bundled supply, discharge, and/or distribution conduits (11) which in operational position, are connectable with fixed conduits of a respective machine (3), can be provided as a central installation for connecting media and power lines that can be monitored and easily inspected, with an arrangement being carried out in an immediate proximity with predetermined distance, lateral position and height with regard to a connectable machine (3) with control units (4), devices (4), drives (5) and drive consoles (5a), distribution blocks (6), valve units (7), control elements and the like being distributed over a horizontal, polygonal platform foundation surface (2) according to their functions with regard to the machine (3).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method of cleaning or descaling thin slabs and rolled strips in a hot strip rolling mill train and is characterized by use of cryogens such as oxygen or compound formed of cryogens with a carrier medium such as compressed air which are sprayed into slab surface or strip surface in liquid, deep-freeze form. The invention also relates to a method of cleaning and/or descaling of strips in a strip treatment installation with the above-mentioned characterized features, and to a correspondingly equipped apparatus.
Abstract:
An apparatus and process for the dry removal of the scale from the surface of a metal product comprising at least one heating area that does not reduce the specific surface of the material to be treated and does not cause oxidation, at least one reducing area for performing the reaction between a specific reducing gas (normally hydrogen) and at least the scale, at least one cooling area for cooling the metal product, means for heating the metal product, means for heating the reducing gas, means for controlling the fluid dynamics of the boundary layer produced by the flow of said reducing gas over the surface of the metal product, means for removing the reaction products from the reducing gas after the reaction, means for cooling the metal product, and means for removing the reaction products from the treated surface of the metal product.
Abstract:
A method of removing iron oxide scale and cold reducing sheet metal leaves a wustite layer on the sheet metal. The iron oxide scale on the sheet metal generally comprises three layers prior to surface conditioning: a wustite layer, a magnetite layer, and a hematite layer. The wustite layer is bonded to a base metal substrate of the sheet metal. The magnetite layer is bonded to the wustite layer, and the hematite layer is bonded to the magnetite layer. Conditioning the surface of the sheet metal includes bringing a surface conditioning member into engagement with the surface of the sheet metal in a manner to remove substantially all of the hematite and magnetite layers from the surface, and in a manner to remove some but not all of the wustite layer from the surface. The portion of the wustite layer that remains bonded to the base metal substrate of the sheet metal protects the surface from oxidation, even after subsequent cold reduction of the sheet metal.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for the descaling of metal surfaces without the use of caustic substances is provided. The apparatus includes a first and second blast heads containing nozzles that spray high velocity jets of media at a scale covered continuous sheet of steel. The continuous sheet of steel is advanced into an abrading station containing a pair of brush assemblies that include stainless steel bristled brushes. The stainless steel brushes engage the surface of the sheet of steel and abrade away the cracked scale, leaving a surface clean of scale. The surface produced is pH neutral and therefore resists additional corrosion and does not require oil coatings, or other protective treatments. Eliminating these steps makes for a faster, more robust process and saves considerable cost.
Abstract:
A method of removing iron oxide scale and galvanizing sheet metal bonds galvanizing zinc to a wustite layer of the sheet metal. The iron oxide scale on the sheet metal generally comprises three layers prior to surface conditioning: a wustite layer, a magnetite layer, and a hematite layer. The wustite layer is bonded to a base metal substrate of the sheet metal. The magnetite layer is bonded to the wustite layer, and the hematite layer is bonded to the magnetite layer. Conditioning the surface of the sheet metal includes bringing a surface conditioning member into engagement with the surface of the sheet metal in a manner to remove substantially all of the hematite and magnetite layers from the surface, and in a manner to remove some but not all of the wustite layer from the surface. The portion of the wustite layer that remains bonded to the base metal substrate of the sheet metal protects the surface from oxidation until the surface is galvanized.
