Abstract (en)

1. A process for controlling the cooling of a metal sheet for the purpose of imparting thereto a predetermined crystalline structure, wherein the sheet to be cooled is passed through a case containing a mass of cooling fluid which is regularly renewed, the flow of the cooling fluid being controlled and its temperature measured, characterized in that, according to the thickness of the sheet to be cooled and the desired cooling rate, a theoretical thermal flux is determined, which should be exchanged between the metal sheet and the cooling fluid ; a theoretical flow speed of the fluid on the metal sheet is calculated as a function of the inlet temperature of the cooling fluid and of the theoretical thermal flux ; the flow rate of the cooling fluid is controlled as a function of the calculated flow speed ; a theoretical temperature of the cooling fluid is determined as a function of the theoretical thermal flux ; said theoretical temperature to the measured temperature and the inlet temperature of the cooling fluid is regulated as a function of said theoretical temperature.

Procédé pour contrôler le refroidissement d'une tôle en vue de lui conférer une structure cristalline prédéterminée, suivant lequel on fait passer la tôle à refroidir à travers une enceinte contenant une masse de fluide de refroidissement régulièrement renouveléee, caractérisé en ce que l'on commande le débit du fluide de refroidissement en fonction de la température d'arrivée de ce fluide, suivant l'épaisseur de la tôle à refroidir et la vitesse de refroidissement désirée.
