Abstract
The thermal evolution of steel coil during cooling was simulated and investigated by the use of in-house Q-CSP® software. The dependence of the thermal evolution of steel coil on cooling methods, temperature distribution of the strip before coiling, coil size and steel grades was also discussed. The study plays a significant role in helping steel makers to better understand and control the cooling process.
