Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to water -cooled furnace roller technical field relates to a kind of water-cooled furnace roller for thin slab continuous casting and rolling roller bottom type furnace. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the process of thin slab continuous casting and rolling, water-cooled furnace roller plays a vital role, and its main function is to control the temperature of slab by cooling to ensure the smooth progress of rolling process. However, the existing water-cooled furnace roller has some shortcomings in use. Since the water-cooled furnace roller is directly in contact with high-temperature slab, it is prone to thermal fatigue, which causes cracks and peeling on the roller surface, thereby shortening the service life of the furnace roller. Inhomogeneous temperature distribution may occur during the cooling process of the water-cooled furnace roller, which can cause uneven surface temperature of the slab and affect the quality of the final product.

[0003] The main reasons for these shortcomings are the extreme requirements of high-temperature environment on material properties and the difficulty of achieving perfect temperature control in the design and operation of water cooling system. The conventional methods include using high-temperature-resistant and wear-resistant materials to manufacture the furnace roller and optimizing the layout of the water cooling system to achieve more uniform cooling effect. However, these methods also have disadvantages, such as high cost of high-temperature-resistant materials, and may still not meet the needs of long-term use under extreme conditions. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a water-cooled furnace roller for thin slab continuous casting and rolling roller bottom type furnace to solve the above problems. SUMMARY
