Abstract
ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
In a process and apparatus for treating surfaces by means of a jet of liquid impinging on the latter at high velocity and with which, in particular, scouring or polishing solid particles, such as steel granules, corundum, sand, chalk or the like are admixed, the liquid jet is, after it has impinged on a surface to be treated, at least once returned to a surface to be treated for the purpose of exploiting the residual kinetic energy of the liquid. In a preferred form of the invention, the jet impinges on the surface at an angle of between 30° and 80° and is, after reflection from said surface, returned to the latter to impinge thereon at an angle of between 40° and 90°. In a particular embodiment of the invention, a sheet metal strip is guided along a loop and the jet impinges on a concave region within said loop. The reflected jet may also, after being reflected from the surface of a first workpiece, be caused to impinge on the surface of a second workpiece moving transversely to the first workpiece.

Description
.` ~IL11;~5~99 Ihe invention relates to a process or treating surfaces by means of a jet of liquid impingin~ on the surface tc be treated at high velocity and with which~ in particular, scouring or polishing solid particles, such as steel granules, corundum, sand~ chalk or the like, are admixed. This process serves the purpose of de-rusting~ de-scaling and cleaning of iron and steel and also of the surface treatment of plastics. In this process liquids, particularly water, aTe-sprayed under very high pressure, e~g. of 200 to 600 atmospheres, fTom steel nozzles on to the surface to be treated.
:~ ,..... .
In the nozzle polishing or scouring solid particles are admixed with the ~`~r 10 liquid jet in a dry OT wet state. The process is applica~le with advantage to the treatment of sheet metal, rolling profiles, tubes, wires and castings, and moreover also to the matting of plastics surfaces. The liquid jet ~, impinging at high velocity on the surface to be treated teaTs dirt, scale and rust particles, oils adhering thereto and paint off this surface. In order to enhance the abrasive effect of the liquid jet, scouring or polish-ing solid particles are admixed therewith. When the liquid jet impinges on : the surface to be treated, these solid particles pass through the liquid film and thus become effective.
In the known process the energy consumption is relatively large.
The object of the present invention is to pTovide a process, with the aid of which improved energy utilisation in the course of the above-described process is made possible.
Accordingly, the method of the invention consists of a process for treating a surface wherein a jet of liquid with which scouring and ., :
polishing paTticles are admixed emerges from a nozzle at a gauge pressure of 200 to 600 bar and is directed to impinge on a portion of said surface at an angle of between 30 and 80 and~ after the jet has impinged on said portion - is at least once returned to a second portion of said suTface displaced in the direction of the jet to the first portion for treatment of said second portion so that the residual kinetic energ~ is utilised.
For the purpose of treating the surface of a sheet metal strip or a roller profile, the liquid jet is preferably directed in a direction counter

to the direction of movement of the material to be treated.
`~ In the following detaïled description, preferred forms of the invention and the apparatus therefor will be explained in grea~er detail ~ -with reference to the drawings.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of an apparatus for treating a sur-face wherein a nozzle for diverting a jet of liquid is employed;
Figure 2 is a diagrammatic representation of apparatus for treating sheet metal strips; and ; 10 Figure 3 is a perspect;ve view of appaTatuS for treating two objects simultaneously.
. As shown in Figures 1, 2 and 3, a liquid jet ~ is sprayed at high ... . : . .
velocity on to the surface 1 to be treated of a sheet metal strip 2 by means `
of a nozzle 3. Scouring and poiishing particles such as steel granules, corundum, sand~ or chalk are admixed with the liquid jet 4. The jet 4 emerges from the nozzle at a guage pressure of 200 to 600 bar and is directed to initially impinge on the surface 1 at an angle of between 30 and 80.
Figure 1 shows a perspective view of apparatus in which the re- -flected jet medium 4 is diverted by a jet 28 from an additional nozzle 25. .
After being discharged from the nozzle 3, which in this embodiment is of elongate cross-section, the jet medium 4 impinges on a first portion of the surface 1. The reflected jet is discharged upwardly to the left ~Figure 1), is intersected by the jet 28 from the additional nozzle 25, thereby changing i its direction and impinges on a second portion of the surface 1 in the for~
of a jet 9. This second portion is displaced in the direc~ion of the jet to the first portion.
The jet 28 from the additional nozzle 25 is preferably a liquid jet without solid particles, the same liquid being used as that for the nozzle 3. The jet 28 may, however, also be a compressed air jet or a jet of a second liquid, it may also contain solid particles.
In the embodiment according to Figure 1, the cross-section of the additional nozzle 25 is C-shaped. This is intended to have the effect of ~l~S~9~
the jet 4, which diverges after its impact on the surface 1, being reunited.
The additional nozzle generally subtends a different angle to the surface 1 from that of the nozzle 3. The desired inclination may for example be determined by a setting device 26, 27.
In Figure 2 the treatment of a sheet metal strip 2 is shown, which is conducted in the form of a loop by means of rollers 37, 38 and other `` devices (not shown) so that a concave inner space is formed. ~he jet medium ~: 4 is sprayed into this inner space with the aid of the nozzle 3. The jet medium impinges on the surface to be treated in such a way that, after - 10 reflection, it again impinges on the surface to be treated. After several reflections the jet medium flows along the surface and flows away below the ` roller 37. The flow along the concavely curved area of the sheet metal strip has the effect that the heavier solid particles are accelerated by a centrifugal effect on to the surface to be treated and flow therealong.
For the purpose of descaling a sheet steel strip the loop formation may simultaneously also serve the purpose of tearing open the scale layers on the sheet metal strip.
~ In the apparatus according to Figure 3 the jet 9 which is dischargsd f from the nozzle 3 and reflected by the surface 1 of the first workpiece 2 impinges on a second workpiece 42 and is thrown back by its surface 41 on to the first workpiece 2. In this way two workpieces may be treated simul-` taneously and very efficiently by utilising the residual kinetic energy in ; the jet medium. The second workpiece 42 is preferably moved above the point of impact of the jet medium 4 transversely to the direction of movement of the first workpiece.
