Abstract

The tinplate quenching process in Mobarakeh Steel Company was analyzed for the first time using computational fluid dynamics to reduce the defect of the quench spot on the tinplate’s surface. The volume of the fluid model was used to simulate the process. The effect of nozzle angle equal to 15, 30, and 45 degrees, nozzle jet velocities of about 10 and 8 m/s, tinplated velocities of 244, 200, and 160 m/s, and cooling fluid temperature of 30, 40, and 55 °C on the tinplate temperature field was investigated. Results show that the temperature field of the tinplate is relatively uniform at a nozzle angle of 45°. In addition, a more uniform temperature field was obtained by increasing the nozzle jet velocity from 8 m/s to 10 m/s and decreasing the tinplated velocity from 244 m/min down to 160 m/min.
