Abstract

A method of producing a steel material, wherein when a cooling apparatus having a plurality of cooling sections disposed side by side in a longitudinal direction of a steel material cools the steel material hot worked or cooled/reheated, the steel material is conveyed at a conveyance distance L o (m) satisfying Equation (1), in one direction along with the longitudinal direction of the steel material, in the cooling apparatus, wherein L o is defined as conveyance distance (m) of steel material, m is a natural number, and L h is defined as length (m) of cooling sections in longitudinal direction of steel material: ( m −0.20)× L h ≤L o ( m +0.20)× L h   (1).

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method of producing a steel material, wherein
 when a cooling apparatus having a plurality of cooling sections disposed side by side in a longitudinal direction of a steel material cools the steel material hot worked or cooled/reheated,   the steel material is conveyed at a conveyance distance L o  (m) satisfying Equation (1), in one direction along with the longitudinal direction of the steel material, in the cooling apparatus, wherein L o  is defined as conveyance distance (m) of steel material, m is a natural number, and L h  is defined as length (m) of cooling sections in longitudinal direction of steel material:
   ( m− 0.20)× L   h   ≤L   o ≤( m+ 0.20)× L   h   (1).
 
   
     
     
         2 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein, in conveyance of the steel material, the steel material is conveyed while being oscillated in both directions of one direction and other direction along with the longitudinal direction of the steel material, and the amplitude of the oscillation is set to the conveyance distance L o  satisfying Equation (1). 
     
     
         3 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the steel material is a rail material. 
     
     
         4 . The method according to  claim 2 , wherein the steel material is a rail material.
