Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a metallic product having an improved gloss after painting, as well as to methods for its manufacture. It relates in particular to cold-rolled metal sheets, which will be more specifically referred to in the description which follows, but it can also be applied to other types of metal products intended to be painted.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a surface morphology of a metal product ensuring that it has an optimum shine after painting while being compatible with the requirements of the other processing operations, in particular by forming.
  • a metal product having an improved gloss after painting, with a surface morphology consisting of alternating peaks and valleys is characterized in that the vertices of a plurality of said peaks are constituted by facets flat and smooth, in that said flat and smooth facets are located in the same plane and in that they represent at least 30% of the total surface of said product.
  • said flat and smooth facets represent at least 50% of the total surface of the metal product.
  • the valleys separating said flat and smooth facets form a network drawing a regular pattern, possibly repetitive, in the surface of said product.
  • each of said facets in any direction in its plane, is advantageously between 50 ⁇ m and 200 ⁇ m.
  • the facets are of the same order of magnitude as the valleys that separate them; they then constitute only an insufficient portion of the surface and do not provide the desired gloss.
  • a dimension greater than 200 ⁇ m is not desirable, in order to avoid the appearance of harmful one-off phenomena, such as micro-seizure during the forming operations.
  • This characteristic can also be expressed by specifying that the pitch of said network is advantageously between 50 ⁇ m and 200 ⁇ m.
  • the present invention also relates to methods for manufacturing a metal product having the above characteristics.
  • the metal product is given a flat and smooth surface by contact with a first tool having a smooth surface, and a network of valleys is printed in said flat and smooth surface by means of a second tool whose surface is provided with an appropriate network of ridges.
  • the flat and smooth surface of the product can be provided, before the last manufacturing step, with a very fine roughness which deviates little from the ideal plane and in any case less than the final roughness corresponding to the above-mentioned network, if necessary to allow the first stages of manufacturing.
  • the final roughness is imparted by a tool, the surface of which is itself provided with a network of ridges intended to imprint the network of aforementioned valleys in the surface of the product.
  • the essentially flat portions of the surface of the tool lying between the ridges do not come into contact with the flat and smooth surface of the product. However, even if such contact did occur, the flat portions of the surface of the tool would not destroy the flatness of the facets of the surface of the product lying between the valleys of the network thus printed.
  • a roughness consisting of alternating peaks and valleys is printed in the surface of the metal product by means of a first tool, the surface of which is provided with an appropriate network of ridges and the vertices of a plurality of said peaks by means of a second substantially smooth tool, so as to form flat and smooth facets separated by said valleys.
  • the first, respectively the second tool, the surface of which is provided with an appropriate crest network is a tool, the surface of which has been treated by means of a laser beam.
  • Fig. 1 shows, in greatly enlarged cross-section, the morphology of the surface of a sheet according to the invention.
  • Fig.2 illustrates the different manufacturing steps leading to such a surface morphology, according to the first embodiment mentioned above.
  • Fig.3 illustrates the successive operations constituting the second embodiment of a surface morphology according to the invention.
  • a fragment of a steel sheet 1 intended to be painted. It may in particular be a sheet metal bodywork.
  • the surface of the sheet should be perfectly flat and smooth as indicated by the trace of the ideal plane 2.
  • the real surface comprises flat and smooth facets 3 forming part of the ideal plane 2, separated by valleys 4 which make it possible to ensure the lubrication of the sheet during the forming operations.
  • the dimension d of the facets is between 50 ⁇ m and 200 ⁇ m.
  • Fig.2 illustrates, in three stages a, b, c, the manufacture of a cold-rolled sheet according to the invention by the first embodiment described above.
  • a sheet 1 flat and smooth, obtained by appropriate prior operations and intended to receive its final morphology.
  • a finishing rolling cylinder 5 for example a work hardening cylinder, is provided with ridges 6 forming on its surface a network (not shown).
  • the cylinder 5 is applied to the sheet 1 and there prints a network of valleys 4, the portions of the flat surface of the sheet included between the valleys may or may not meet the portions of the surface of the cylinder included between the ridges 6.
  • view c shows the sheet 1 provided, on one side in the present example, with flat and smooth facets 3 separated by a network of valleys 4.
  • FIG.3 illustrates in three steps e, f, g, the manufacture of a sheet according to the invention by the second embodiment mentioned above.
  • View e shows in section, a sheet 1 provided with a regular roughness, for example with a tandem rolling mill.
  • This sheet is in view f, crushed on the skin-pass by a cylinder 5, the smooth surface of which smoothes the peaks of the initial roughness.
  • the sheet 1 has each time been shown with a single face treated in accordance with the invention. It goes without saying that this invention also covers cases where all the faces of the product have, over at least part of their extent, the particular morphology which is proposed here.
  • a treatment of the surface of rolling mill rolls by means of an intermittent laser beam makes it possible to create in this surface microcraters serving to imprint in the surface of a sheet the network of valleys leading to the desired morphology.
