Definitions

  • This invention relates to a preheating method in continuous heat-treatment of steel strips for progressively heating the steel steel in plural stages to temperatures as near to those in a heating zone as possible.
  • a steel strip is heated to 650°C-850°C in the heating zone.
  • radiant tube heating has been employed which, however, makes the installation of the heating zone complicated and large-­sized. It is therefore important to preheat steel strips on an entry side of the heating zone in order to make the installation compact and improve the production efficiency.
  • Japanese Laid-open Patent Applications Nos. 57-41,330 and 58-73,727 disclose a method of preheating a steel strip in which visible heat of burned waste heat from a heating zone is recovered in heating medium by means of a heat exchanger and the heating medium is introduced into passages formed in rolls about which the steel strip is wound.
  • the visible heat of the burned waste heat at 300-350°C is recovered in the heating medium until the temperature becomes approxi­mately 150°C in order to avoid a problem of dew point of oxygen, and thereafter the steel strip is preheated. In this manner, it is possible to preheat the steel strip to approximately 130-140°C to improve the recovery of waste heat.
  • the steel strip preheated to approximately 130-140°C is rapidly heated to 600-850°C by radiation heating mainly by radiant tubes.
  • a heating has a limitation of heating speed, a huge installation is needed in order to increase the production.
  • the preheating temperature is relatively low, it includes a possibility for more improving its thermal efficiency.
  • Japanese Laid-open Patent Application No. 57-76,133 discloses a heating method using rolls heated by induction heating coils without using the burned waste gas.
  • This publication discloses an example of heating steel strips to 800°C using heated rolls at 1,000°C. Because of the great temper­ature difference between the steel strip and the rolls when the steel strip is wound about the rolls, there is a risk of serpentine movement of the steel strip caused by concave thermal crowns on the rolls due to temperature fall at outer peripheries of the rolls about which the steel strip is wound.
  • Japanese Laid-open Patent Applica­tion No. 60-135,530 discloses a preheating method in which visible heat of burned waste gas from a heating zone is recovered in the air and the obtained hot air is directed onto steel strips to preheat them.
  • the preheating temperature of the steel strip is at the most 100-200°C. It is impossible to obtain higher preheating temperature.
  • the temperature of preheated steel strips is within 100-200°C, bad configuration of the rolled steel strips is not straightened by such a low temperature preheating and maintained even when the steel strips are in an upstream half of a heating zone.
  • unevenness of the rolled steel strips are of the order of 1%, therefore, serpentine movements of the steel strips occur while being heated, so that feeding speed of the steel strips could not be increased resulting in lower production efficiency.
  • the word "unevenness” is intended to mean a deviation of a steel strip from a complete flatness per a unit length.
  • the method of preheating steel strips in continuous heat-­treatment using a heating zone including radiant tubes comprises steps of directing onto a steel strip a gas including heat recovered in heat-exchanging from visible heat contained in burned waste gas from said heating zone to effect a first stage preheating, and winding said steel strip about heated rolls to pass on the rolls to effect a second stage preheating at higher temperature than that of the first stage preheating.
  • the temperature of the steel strip is maintained lower than a predetermined temperature by controlling amounts of the gas directed onto the steel strip in order to prevent formation of thick oxide films on the steel strip.
  • the second stage preheating is preferably effected in a non-oxidizing atmosphere.
  • a heat medium is heated in a heat medium heating device and supplied and circulated into the rolls, thereby heating the rolls.
  • the temperature of the steel strip is maintained lower than a predetermined temperature by controlling at least one factor among flow rate and temperature of the heat medium and winding angles of the steel strip about the rolls.
  • a steel strip 1 is preheated to 100-200°C in a first preheating zone at a first preheating stage and to 250-250°C in a second preheating zone 3 at a second preheating stage.
  • burned waste gas is collected from a heating zone 4 including radiant tubes 5 into waste gas collecting ducts 6 and is introduced into a heat-­exchanger 7 wherein visible heat of the waste gas is given to a gas such as the air while the waste gas whose temperature has been lowered is exhausted through a chimney 9 with the aid of a waste suction fan 8.
  • the temperature of the waste gas is usually of the order of 400°C which is lower than those at which the fan and chimney can thermally resist.
  • the heated gas heated in the heat-exchanging (which is referred to hereinafter "hot blast") is circulated by a hot blast circulating fan 10 to be supplied into hot blast chambers 11 arranged in the first preheating zone 2, so that the hot blast is directed onto the steel strip to heat it to 100-200°C.
  • nitrogen, nitrogen mixed with hydrogen somewhat, or the like is suitable as the gas directed onto the steel strip in the first preheating zone 2.
  • a heat medium 12 in a reservoir 17 is heated in a heat medium heating device 13 and supplied and circulated into rolls 15 with the aid of a circulating pump 14.
  • the heated medium 12 flows through the rolls 15 which are heated by the medium, so that the steel strip 1 from the first preheating zone 2 is wound about the rolls so as to pass through the second preheating zone 3 to heat the steel strip 1 to 250-500°C.
  • the heat medium 12 which has heated the rolls is returned through a return line 16 into the reservoir 17.
  • the heat medium may be thermo-oil, metallic sodium, and a molten salt such as a nitrate as sodium nitrate, potassium nitrate or the like or a chloride as calcium chloride, sodium chloride or the like.
  • a molten salt such as a nitrate as sodium nitrate, potassium nitrate or the like or a chloride as calcium chloride, sodium chloride or the like.
  • the molten salt of the nitrate is preferable for prevent­ing corrosion of the rolls.
  • thermometer or thermometers 18 for the steel strip are provided on an exit side of the first preheating zone 2 to monitor whether the steel strip 1 is heated at temperatures between 100 and 200°C in the first preheating zone. If the temperature of the steel strip is higher than 250°C, thick oxide films are produced on surfaces of the steel strip to lower the quality of the surfaces.
  • the amount of the hot blast directed onto the steel strip is controlled by adjusting numbers of revolution of the hot blast circulating fan 10 or provision of dampers in the lines in order to maintain the temperature of the preheated steel strip lower than 250°C.
  • thermometer or thermometers 19 for the steel strip are provided on an exit side of the second preheating zone 3 to monitor whether the temper­ature of the steel strip on the exit side of the second preheating zone 3 is maintained within 250-500°C while one or more of the flow rate and temperature of the heat medium 12 flowing into the rolls 15 and winding angles of the steel strip about the rolls are controlled.
  • Figs. 2-8 illustrate results of investigation of thermal efficiency, serpentine movement of steel strips, surface conditions and installation investment concerning the invention.
  • Fig. 2 and 3 illustrate thermal efficiencies in cases of the present invention, reference example A using only radiant tubes and reference example B using hot blast and radiant tubes.
  • the thermal efficiency is greatly improved by effecting the second stage preheating with rolls mainly by the heat trans­mission between directly contacting metals.
  • Fig. 3 is a graph illustrating the fall in production efficiency due to serpentine movements of steel strips occurring before the heating zone when unevennesses of the steel strips are 0.5-1.0% before the heat treatment. This graph clearly shows the superiority of the present invention.
  • Fig. 4 illustrates the fall in production efficiency due to serpentine movements of steel strips similar to those in Fig. 3, in comparison with the reference example B. It is clear that the serpentine movements can be prevented by rapidly raising the temperature of the steel strips to the order of 500°C by preheating with rolls.
  • an abscissa indicates temperature difference between the heat medium and steel strips on the exit side of the second preheating zone and an ordinate indicates serpentine movement of steel strips per one heating roll.
  • the temperature difference is more than 300°C, the serpentine movements increase to an extent that the practical use is prohibitive. It is understood from this fact that the progressive heating with less temperature difference is suitable.
  • Fig. 6 illustrates the relation between thickness of oxide films and the temperature of steel strips on the exit side of the first preheating zone heating with hot blast. It is clearly evident that when the temperature of the steel strips is more than 250°C, the thickness of the oxide films increases. Even if the steel strips were reduced after preheating, the bad surface conditions of the steel strips could not be amended as shown in Fig. 7.
  • Fig. 7 illustrates observation of surfaces of steel strips which were subjected to the treatment for forming phosphate or chromium oxide films thereon after the continuous heat treatment and degreasing. An ordinate indicates the surface conditions of the strips.
  • Fig. 8 illustrates the surface condition of steel strips in case of the second preheating zone with the air or non-oxidizing atmosphere.
  • the quantity of heat and flow rate of the respective gases when the temperature of the steel strips on the exit side of the heating zone became 750°C are as follows under the same conditions as those above described.
  • the amount of the air circulating through the first preheating zone was 80,000 Nm/h.
  • the quantity of heat of 2x106 Kcal/h was obtained by heat-exchanging.
  • the air temperature was 250°C on an entry side of the heat-­exchanger and 330°C on an exit side thereof.
  • Table 1 shows the temperatures of steel strips on the exit side of the first preheating zone.
  • This invention performs the preheating steel strips to higher temperatures preventing serpentine movements of the steel strips, thereby improving the production efficiency and compacting the installation.
