Numerical Study of Temperature Field of Tinplate in the Quench Process

The tinplate quenching process at Mobarakeh Steel Company was analyzed for the first time using computational fluid dynamics to reduce the defect in the quench spot on the tinplate’s surface. The volume of a fluid model was used to simulate the process. The effect of nozzle angle equal to ۱۵, ۳۰, and ۴۵ degrees, nozzle jet velocities of about ۱۰ and ۸ m/s, tinplated velocities of ۲۴۴, ۲۰۰, and ۱۶۰ m/min, and cooling fluid temperature of ۳۰, ۴۰, and ۵۵ °C on the tinplate temperature field was investigated. Results show that the tinplate temperature field is relatively uniform at a ۴۵° nozzle angle. In addition, a more uniform temperature field was obtained by increasing the nozzle jet velocity from ۸ m/s to ۱۰ m/s and decreasing the tinplate velocity from ۲۴۴ m/min down to ۱۶۰ m/min.
