Definitions
- the invention relates to a combined annealing and galvanizing line of a metal strip and also covers a method of converting an existing annealing line into such a combined line.
- the cold rolling of a steel strip causes hardening, by hardening, of the metal which causes brittleness making it more difficult and may even prohibit the subsequent use of the rolled strips.
- FIG. 1 schematically shows, by way of example, the usual arrangement of such a continuous annealing line which comprises successively, in the running direction of the strip:
- An input device 1 comprising one or two belt unrollers 11, a shear 12, for example with a guillotine, a splicing welder 13 for connecting the tail of a strip from a first unwinder to the head of the next strip from the second unwinder to ensure continuous operation of the line, and a tape accumulator
- An annealing installation 2 having a preheating section 21, a section 22 for heating and maintaining the annealing temperature for the necessary time, a section of rapid cooling 23, a supernatant section 24 and a second slow cooling section.
- An output device 3 comprising a tape accumulator 31, possibly a skin-pass rolling mill 32, a shear 33 and one or two winders 34 working alternately.
- the entire annealing installation forms a furnace generally placed under a controlled atmosphere in a closed enclosure, and wherein the strip travels along a zig-zag path defined by a plurality of deflection rollers and which successively provides the heating of the band in section 21, its maintenance at the annealing temperature in section 22, a first cooling in section 23, fast enough to avoid oxidation, a complement of overaging treatment, in English "overaging" in the section 24, which usually comprises several successive units and a slow cooling in the section 25 which ends, usually, by quenching the strip in a final cooling liquid bath to room temperature.
- an annealing installation 2 a galvanizing installation 4 comprising a bath of liquid metal 41, a dewatering device 42, an output circuit with, for example, an alloying oven 43 and a cooling equipment 44 and a tundish 45,
- a device 3 for outputting the line comprising, for example, a skin-pass laminator 32, a passivation section 35, an outlet accumulator 31, a shear 33 and one or two winders 34 working alternately.
- the annealing installation 2 successively performs the metallurgical annealing and the correct setting of the band before entering the metal bath 41. It therefore comprises a preheating section 21, a retention section 22 at the annealing temperature, a rapid cooling section 23 and a galvanization temperature-setting section 26 in which an activation of the surface to be made can also be carried out. galvanize by superficial chemical migrations.
- the complete annealing lines of the type shown in FIG. 1 are therefore provided, normally, for steel grades which justify a large tonnage and are provided with all the equipment necessary to adapt to a new grade after modification of the adjustment parameters. , including temperatures and times of heat treatments.
- the evolution of the market, especially for the automotive industry is leading to a greater variety of grades of steel and their metallurgy as well as a greater demand for galvanized strips.
- the tonnages required in each grade are relatively small and require rapid changes in setting parameters, sometimes without stopping scrolling, the tail of a coil at the end of unwinding can be welded to the head of a next coil, of different quality and requiring other treatments.
- a number of continuous line annealing plants, planned for large tonnages no longer become profitable due to market developments and the decrease in tonnages demanded.
- the demand for galvanized sheet is increasing and it is therefore interesting to produce continuous lines that allow the demand to be met flexibly. It is therefore necessary to achieve new combined lines to continuously perform either an annealing treatment alone, or annealing followed by galvanization.
- EP-A-0254633 describes such a combined line comprising successively, between a reel and a winder, a horizontal type annealing furnace, a temperature control section and a conventional type of galvanizing installation. There is also a coating coating installation. According to the invention, to allow a passage from one treatment to another, without increasing the complexity and the cost of such an installation, the treated metal flow must be at most 7 tons / hour, at a speed of passage at most equal to 12 meters per minute. The production capacity of such an installation, designed some twenty years ago, would have been very limited.
- the object of the invention is to solve such problems by means of a particular arrangement of the different equipment necessary, on the one hand for annealing and on the other hand for galvanization, making it possible to produce a combined line capable of performing either annealing alone, or an annealing followed by galvanization, without unduly increasing the congestion in length of the line.
- this particular arrangement of the equipment makes it possible, according to the invention, to quite simply convert an existing continuous annealing installation to add galvanizing means without excessive modification of the existing installation and remaining in the floor area of the floor. it.
- the invention makes it possible to continue a profitable exploitation of certain existing continuous annealing installations that are no longer adapted to the requirements of the market, by transforming them into a combined line capable of handling a very wide variety of products.
- the invention therefore relates to a combined annealing and galvanizing line of a metal strip comprising means for controlling the movement of the strip in a continuous line, between an input device and an output device of the line, successively in a annealing apparatus and a galvanizing plant, the annealing apparatus having a section for heating and holding the band at an annealing temperature, a first annealing section after annealing, an overaging section and a second cooling section up to ambient temperature, and the galvanizing plant having an inlet section of the strip in a galvanizing metal bath, an outlet section of the metal bath of the strip covered on both sides with a layer coating, a cooling section of the coating and a final coolant bath.
- the galvanizing plant is incorporated inside the annealing plant, between the overaging section and the second cooling section, and at the outlet of the overaging section, the band is directed by selective guiding means, either to the galvanizing plant and then, at the outlet of the final cooling bath, directly to the output device of the line, or directly to the second cooling section and then to the output device of the line.
- the overfill section and the second cooling section of the annealing plant are each placed in a sealed enclosure filled with a protective gas and the inlet section in the galvanizing metal bath is placed in a sealed duct having an inlet connected to the outlet of the overflow section and two outlets, respectively a first outlet immersed in the metal bath and a second outlet on which is releasably connected a leaktight trough with the second section cooling and annealing installation, said second outlet being provided with removable sealing means.
- the combined line according to the invention comprises a plurality of deflection rollers defining two paths of the strip at the exit of the overaging section, respectively a first galvanization path comprising an inlet section in the metal bath. passing through the first outlet of the sealed conduit, an outlet section of the metal bath, a cooling section of the coating prior to entry into the final cooling bath, and an exit section of said cooling bath passing above or below the enclosure in which is placed the second cooling section, so as to connect directly to the output device of the line, and a second annealing path alone, passing through the removable connection channel between the second outlet of the sealed conduit and the enclosure of the second cooling section.
- the combined line comprises two liquid final cooling baths of the strip, respectively a first bath placed at the outlet of the galvanizing installation, and a second bath placed at the outlet of the second cooling section, the strip being directed towards the outlet device of the line after final cooling carried out, either in the first bath after galvanization, or in the second bath after an annealing treatment alone, without galvanizing.
- the first cooling bath is placed above the metal bath and offset to the inlet side thereof to reduce the bulk of the galvanizing plant.
- the over-age section has a reduced length compared to the length usually required in a continuous annealing line. and the running speed of the web is adapted to this reduced length in order to obtain the necessary processing time.
- the invention also covers a process for converting into a combined annealing and galvanizing line, an existing continuous annealing line of a metal strip comprising successively, in a running direction of the product, an input device in the line, a preheating section, an annealing section, a first rapid cooling section after annealing, a supercooling section, a slow cooling section under a protective atmosphere and an output device of the line.
- part of the overaging section is removed leaving the other sections in place and a galvanizing installation is placed inside the annealing line, in the space thus released between the remaining part of the overfill section and the second slow cooling section, and connected to the scroll control means so as to achieve a combined annealing and galvanizing line without increasing the overall length of the annealing line.
- the running speed of the web between the input device and the output device of the line is adapted either to the process of receiving alone or to the galvanizing process.
- the installation of The galvanization replaces only a part of the overaging section and the bandwidth is adjusted, if necessary, so as to carry out a survival treatment in the remaining part of the corresponding section.
- the temperature in the annealing section is maintained at the desired level for annealing, taking into account the nature of the band and the speed of travel and, between the exit of the survival section and the entrance in the galvanizing bath, the installation comprises combined means of heating and cooling, for adjusting the temperature of the strip to a level suitable for the galvanizing process.
- the galvanizing installation comprises means for controlling the running of the strip between a galvanizing metal bath and a quenching bath, along a continuous scrolling path passing over a plurality of deflection rollers. and having at least four portions, respectively a first connection portion between the quench section and the inlet to the metal bath, a second exit portion of the metal bath with coating thickness control, a third cooling portion coating before entering the quench bath and a fourth quenching bath outlet portion, connecting directly to the exit section of the annealing line, without passing through the slow cooling section.

- Figure 6 shows schematically, on an enlarged scale, the arrangement according to the invention of a galvanizing installation.
- FIG. 7 and FIG. 8 are two diagrams indicating, by way of example, two complete cycles of annealing in a combined line according to the invention.
- Figure 9 schematically shows the arrangement according to the invention of a galvanizing plant inside a continuous annealing line.
- Figure 10 shows in a synthetic way, the functions of continuous annealing and galvanizing and those common to both treatments.
- FIG. 1 represents, schematically, the conventional arrangement of a continuous annealing line comprising, between an input device 1 and an output device 3, an oven 2 in which the strip travels along a path in zig-zag, between two series of deflector rollers, respectively upper and lower, and consisting of successive sections respectively providing heating of the band M in section 21, its maintenance at the annealing temperature in section 22, rapid cooling in section 23, an additional treatment of over-aging or "over aging "in section 24 with several successive units and slow cooling to a moderate temperature, in section 25.
- FIG. 3 is a diagram showing two examples of continuous annealing cycles represented, respectively, by curve 5 for a direct flame furnace and by the 5 'curve for heating without a direct flame, for example by reverberation.
- the heating has no particular metallurgical impact up to about 600 ° C. and the rate of rise in temperature (51, 51 ') can be more or less rapid depending on the heating technology used. Above 600 0 C and up to the maximum temperature, the heating is continued at a lower speed (52, 52 ') in order to improve the control of the temperature.
- the annealing temperature (53, 53 ') depends on the metallurgical q uality desired. It is generally between 650 and 700 0 C for tinplate and 700 to 850 c C for a thin strip for galvanizing.
- the holding time (53, 53 ') generally close to 15 to 30 seconds, makes it possible to stabilize the annealed structure.
- This holding phase (53, 53 ') is followed by a controlled cooling (54, 54') at a slow speed, generally below 10 ° C./s up to a temperature of 600 to 700 ° C. to ensure the precipitation of carbides Fe 3 C.
- the treatment is then continued, in section 24, by maintaining the temperature for a period of one to several minutes (56, 56 '), in order to produce the precipitation of the interstitial carbon in a so-called overaging or "over-aging” phase.
- the cycle is completed by cooling (57, 57) 'to a moderate temperature, e.g., about 60 0 C. 1 possibly up to room temperature.
- a moderate temperature e.g., about 60 0 C. 1 possibly up to room temperature.
- FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a typical annealing cycle in a galvanizing line of the type shown in FIG. 2.
- Curve 5a which shows the evolution of the temperature as a function of time, is analogous to the curves 5, 5 'previously described. and therefore includes the same temperature raising portions (51a, 52a), maintaining (53a) at the annealing temperature, (54a) controlled cooling at low speed, and then (55a) rapid cooling.
- thermal regulation section 26 makes it possible, first of all, to over-stress (56a) and then, by cooling (57a) or, optionally, heating, to bring the strip to the temperature (58a) desirable for entry into the galvanizing metal bath.
- the thermal cycle 5a in the galvanizing line is therefore similar to the cycle 5 in an annealing line of the type shown in FIG. 1, the differences coming essentially from the speed of movement imposed by the galvanizing process which must not exceed, normally , 200 m / min in order to be able to control the thickness of the coating deposited at the outlet of the metal bath while the usual speeds of the continuous annealing lines for thin sheets are of the order of 300 to 500 m / min. Such speeds are necessary to obtain the desired productivity in a conventional continuous annealing line which must be capable of treating steels of different types for which the heat treatment, in particular of over-aging, can be more or less complex and requires the use several successive processing units.
- the invention is based on the idea that, even for conventional and relatively complex annealing treatments, it should be possible to reduce the length of the overaging section, as compared to the usual length, and that the removal of certain chambers of overaging would provide a space in which a galvanizing plant could be incorporated, without increasing the overall size of the annealing line, to achieve a combined line to perform either an annealing treatment alone or a treatment of galvanization preceded by annealing.
- An installation of the type shown diagrammatically in FIG. 5 comprising, as in the case of FIG. 2, an input device 1, an annealing furnace 2, a galvanization installation 4 and an output device 3. but in which the galvanizing temperature-setting section 26 corresponds to only a portion 24 'of the super-aging section 24 of the annealing furnace 2 shown in FIG.
- the galvanizing plant 4 ' is therefore incorporated inside the annealing line since it is placed between the reduced overaging section 26 and the slow cooling section under a controlled atmosphere.
- the output of the overaging section opens into a selective guiding device 80 for directing the band M, either directly to the slow cooling section 25, for an annealing treatment alone, or to the input T1 of the 4.
- the strip is directed directly towards the outlet device 3 of the line, by short-circuiting the cooling section 25.
- the space left by the removal of a portion of the overaging section must have a relatively small length, less than the normal footprint of a conventional galvanizing plant. It is therefore interesting to realize a particularly compact galvanizing installation.
- one of the ideas of the invention consists in modifying the usual architecture of the continuous galvanizing lines by organizing in a new way the unwinding of the strip at the outlet of the zinc bath, as shown diagrammatically in the figure 5 and in more detail in Figure 6.
- the strip has been brought to the desired temperature for galvanizing, as shown in the diagram of FIG. 4.
- the strip coming out of section 26 passes over a deflection roll D 1 which directs it to the galvanizing metal bath 41 formed in a tank and in which is immersed a deflection roll D2.
- the band M therefore follows a downward path T1 between the output roller D 1 and the immersed roll D2 on which it bears by its upper face A.
- the strip M then comes out of the bath 41 in an upward path T2 to an upper roll D3, passing in front of a wiper device 42 of known type for controlling the thickness of the coating. All these arrangements are conventional and correspond to those shown schematically in Figure 2.
- the band M bears on the upper roll D3 by the same side A passing on the immersed roll D2 and, therefore, instead of being directed towards the outside of the tank containing the metal bath 41, the band M returns back towards the entrance side in the tray, that is to say the left side in FIGS. 5 and 6.
- the strip returns to an upper roll D'3 and descends, by a descending path T3, to a deflector roll D4 immersed in the quenching bath 45.
- the strip then exits from this bath 45 along a rising path T4 to a pair of upper deflector rollers D5, 5 spaced apart from each other, so as to pass over the entire installation.
- galvanizing 41 and the slow cooling section 25, then descends, by a downward path T5, to a lower roller D6 to be directed to the accumulator 31 of the output device 3.
- the quenching bath 45 can be placed above the tank containing the galvanizing metal bath 41.
- the footprint of the galvanizing plant 4 is reduced compared to the conventional arrangement of Figure 2 since it covers substantially the same length as the galvanizing bath 41.
- this arrangement requires the construction, above the metal bath 41, of a floor to support the quench tank 45 but this increase in height of the installation does not constitute a real disadvantage, particularly for the transformation of an existing installation.
- the return towards the rear of the strip from the upper roller D3 makes it possible to incorporate the entire galvanizing installation into the existing reduced space between the remaining part of the overaging section. and the slow cooling section
- Such an arrangement is also particularly compact since, at each change of direction, the band passes on a single roll returning, as before, to the rear.
- This arrangement also makes it possible to distribute cooling means 44, 44 'not only along the upward path T2 but also along the downward path T3 so as to provide sufficient cooling of the coating.
- the face A 'of the strip opposite the face A passing on the immersed roll D2 comes into contact with the lower roll D6 after the upward path T2 and the descending path T3 and, thus, not likely to be deteriorated before curing the coating.
- Such an arrangement is particularly advantageous in applications where an outer face of the sheet, called “exposed face” must have excellent surface quality, for example for the automobile body.
- the cooling cells and, where applicable, the alloying oven 43 can advantageously be staggered on the ascending strand T2 and the descending arm T3 which, in the case of FIG. are separated by only one deflector roll D3, which further reduces the footprint of the assembly.
- such an arrangement distributes the cooling cells 44a, 44b over a greater strip length and thus have a less violent blowing, which reduces the risk of vibration of the band that may have an impact on the uality of the coating, in particular the regulation of its thickness.
- the outlet section 26 of the oven 2 makes it possible, by adjusting the speed of travel at a moderate level, for example of 200 m / min, to carry out a treatment overaging adapted to the nature of the metal, then to ensure adequate temperature of the band before entering the zinc bath 41.
- FIG. 7 shows a complete annealing cycle for a "TRI P" type steel which, after annealing, requires isothermal retention in the bainitic transformation zone, that is to say around 290.degree.
- the outlet section 26 of the oven must raise the temperature of the strip to a level compatible with the temperature of the zinc bath, for example 470 ° C.
- Figure 8 in contrast, corresponds to the case of a common steel requiring overaging, for example at 560 ° C. In this case, the temperature must be lowered to the temperature of the zinc bath.
- the temperature control section 26 will therefore be equipped with heating means, preferably by induction and cooling, preferably by neutral gas jet.
- the galvanizing installation 4 placed, according to the invention, between the outlet section 26 of the oven 2 and the slow cooling section 25, is provided, at its output, with a quenching bath 45 at the output of which the strip is at a temperature close to ambient. Therefore, it is not necessary to pass the strip in the slow cooling section 25, the quenching bath 45 being connected directly to the output accumulator 31.
- a combined line has thus been realized to ensure, as the case may be, the continuous annealing line functions in the oven 2 and the final cooling section 25 and galvanizing continuous line in the furnace 2 and the galvanizing plant 4 which ends with the quench bath 45.
- Figure 9 schematically shows the arrangement of an installation to easily switch from one mode of operation to another.
- the entire annealing furnace 2, with the overaging section 26, is placed in a closed enclosure 8 provided at its base with a conduit 80 which forms a branch with two outlets , respectively a first outlet 81 which plunges inside the metal bath 41 to seal, and a second outlet 82 which can be removably closed by a door 83.
- the cooling section 25, also placed under a controlled atmosphere is disposed in a sealed chamber 8 'whose input 81' can be connected to the second outlet 82 of the duct 80, by a connecting chute 84 which can be moved, for example by pivoting between the position shown in FIG. 9 for which the trough 84 is connected in leaktight manner to the second outlet 82 of the duct 80 and a spaced apart position allowing the passage of the strip M following the path and T2, at the outlet of the metal bath 41.
- This mobile chute 84 thus forms a bypass tunnel allowing, when it is put in place and the door 83 open, to ensure the passage of the band M between the deflector roll D1 placed at the outlet of the oven and the section cooling 25, sealing between the two closed enclosures 8 and 8 'in which is formed a neutral atmosphere, for example a mixture of nitrogen and hydrogen.
- Figure 10 is a block diagram of the operation of such a combined line.
- the band M successively passes through the various sections of the annealing furnace 2 and, after being put into temperature in the outlet section 26, passes through the first outlet 81 of the duct 80 to open into the zinc bath 41.
- the band M guided by the deflector rollers D5, D'5, D7 passes below or, optionally, above the slow cooling section 25 to be directed directly to the output device 3 of the line.
- the connecting trough 84 is put in place and the door 83 is opened. From the deflector roll D1, the band M passes into the connecting chute 84, then into the slow cooling section 25 which preferably terminates in a quenching tank 27 and is then directed by the drive rollers D8 to the output device 3 of the line.
- the installation is provided, on the other hand, with means not shown in FIG. 9, making it possible to cut the strip, either at a point 85, at the entrance into the connecting chute 84, or at a point 86, at the outlet of the cooling zone 25, upstream of the driving rollers D8.
- the strip is cut at these two points 85 and 86, the mobile tunnel 84 is raised vertically and held against the front wall of the enclosure 8 'containing the cooling section 25. A band portion remains engaged in the tunnel 84 and section 25. It will serve as a "pull tape” to put the line in annealing configuration in another campaign.
- the invention thus makes it possible to carry out either an annealing alone or a galvanization after annealing, in a combined line of the type shown in FIG. 5, whose overall size, in length, is of the same order as that of a line conventional continuous annealing system, insofar as the galvanizing plant, particularly if it is made in the particularly compact manner described above, can be incorporated inside the annealing line, between the overaging section and the section slow cooling.
- the invention will find a particularly interesting application for the transformation of existing continuous annealing lines whose profitability is no longer assured due to the variety of qualities of sheet required and the resulting tonnage decline.
- the band could pass over the cooling section 25 for descend directly into the quench bath 27 placed at the outlet thereof.
- the use, according to the preferred embodiment of FIG. 9, of two separate quench tanks, respectively 45 at the outlet of the galvanizing plant 4 and 27 at the outlet of the cooling zone 25, makes it possible to to avoid pollution by zinc dust from the cooling tank 27 through which the uncoated annealed strips pass, in case of annealing operation alone.
