Definitions

  • This invention relates to a method of controlling the temperature of steel strip in the cooling zone of a continuous annealing furnace.
  • a continuous annealing furnace is an apparatus which performs the heat treatment of a cold rolled steel strip in accordance with a heat cycle as shown by way of example in FIGURE 1 in order to improve its workability.
  • the heat treatment according to the heat cycle of FIGURE 1 is effected by a furnace having a fast cooling zone and a final cooling zone.
  • FIGURE 2 shows the cooling system disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 10973/1981.
  • a steel strip 1 travels in contact with four cooling rolls 2 to 5 in which a coolant flows, and its heat is transferred to the cooling rolls.
  • Four plenum chambers 6 to 9 are provided in front of the cooling rolls 2 to 5, respectively, for blowing jets of cooling gas against the strip 1.
  • Each plenum chamber has a plurality of nozzles through which the cooling gas is jetted out of the plenum chamber.
  • FIGURE 2 also shows a pair of deflector rolls 10 and 11, devices 22 for moving the cooling rolls to control the angle at which the strip is brought into contact with the cooling rolls, pressure controllers 23 for controlling the pressure of the cooling gas in the plenum chambers, sensors 24 for detecting the pressure of the cooling gas in the plenum chambers and dampers 25.
  • the coolant is circulated through the cooling rolls 2 to 5 by a circuit which is shown-by way of example in FIGURE 3 as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application No. 129069/1982.
  • FIGURE 3 shows only one of.the cooling rolls at 2 for the sake of simplicity.
  • the coolant is returned from the cooling roll 2 to a coolant tank 15 through a discharge line 14. It is delivered by a pump 16 from the tank 15 to a heat exchanger 17 in which it is cooled, and supplied to the cooling roll 2 by a supply line 18.
  • the temperature of the coolant entering the cooling roll is controlled by a coolant temperature controller 19. More specifically, the coolant temperature is detected by a sensor 20 and the flow of cooling water entering the heat exchanger 17 is controlled by a control valve 21 to obtain an appropriate coolant temperature set by the temperature controller 19.
  • the cooling system employing the combination of roll cooling and gas jet cooling as hereinabove described effects the control of the temperature of the strip 1 by controlling three variable factors, i.e., the length of a strip portion contacting each cooling roll or in other words the angle at which the strip is brought into contact with each cooling roll, the coolant temperature and the flow rate of the cooling gas blown against the strip.
  • the control of the coolant temperature has already been described.
  • the angle at which the strip contacts the cooling rolls is controlled by the roll moving devices 22.
  • the flow rate of the cooling gas is controlled by adjusting the position of each damper 25 so that the pressure of the cooling gas detected by the pressure sensors 24 may reach a predetermined level.
  • a predetermined strip temperature is obtained in the cooling zone by controlling the flow rate of the cooling gas, the angle at which the strip is brnouht into -contact ⁇ with the cooling rolls and the coolant temperature in the order mentioned.
  • its object is attained by controlling first the flow rate of the cooling gas and the angle of the strip simultaneously and the coolant temperature thereafter.
  • the control of the strip temperature is effected by varying the three control factors or parameters in a specific order of preference.
  • This order of preference is determined by the quickness in the response of control.
  • the quickness in the response of control has the most important bearing on an improved yield of production in the event there is any change in the conditions of the annealing operation, for example, during the passage of a welded joint between two strips which are different in gauge.
  • the three control factors or parameters differ from one another in response time, as follows:
  • priority is in the order of (1) flow rate of cooling gas, (2) angle of the strip relative to the cooling rolls and (3) coolant temperature. This is exactly the order of quickness in response and enables a high yield of production irrespective of any change in the annealing conditions.
  • the flow rate of cooling gas and the angle of the strip relative to the cooling rolls are first controlled simultaneously, and the control of the coolant temperature having a longer response time is delayed. This delay ensures an improved yield of production.
  • the simultaneous control of the flow rate of the cooling gas and the angle of the strip has the advantage of achieving a large change in the cooling conditions at a time within a relatively short length of time.
  • FIGURE 4 is a graphical illustration of the control of the three factors for the continuous cooling of a plurality of strips which gradually increase in gauge, while the other annealing conditions remain the same for all the strips.
  • the points marked o in FIGURE 4 are the starting points. As long as there is any room for an increase in the flow rate of cooling gas, it is increased with an increase in strip gauge as shown at A in FIGURE 4, since its control has a faster response than the control of the other two factors.
  • the angle of the strip relative to the cooling rolls is, then, increased with an increase in strip gauge as shown at B in FIGURE 4, as long as there is any room for such increase in the angle. If it has, then, become impossible to increase the angle to any further extent, the coolant temperature is lowered, as shown at C in FIGURE 4, in order to increase the cooling capacity of the cooling system, though it shows a slower response to control than the other two factors.
  • FIGURE 5 is a graphical illustration of the control of the three factors for the continuous cooling of a plurality of strips which gradually decrease in gauge.
  • the flow rate of cooling gas is first decreased as shown at A' in FIGURE 5, then the angle of the strip relative to the cooling rolls is decreased as shown at B', and finally the coolant temperature is raised as shown at C'.
  • FIGURE 6 is a graphical illustration of the control of the three factors for the continuous cooling of a plurality of strips having first a gradually increasing gauge and then a gradually decreasing gauge.
  • the control under this situation may be effected by a combination of the procedures shown in FIGURES 4 and 5. It will, however, be noted that FIGURE 6 shows an example of operation in which the coolant temperature is not varied irrespective of the change in strip gauge.
  • each of the maximum and minimum values may be set for each of the three factors.
  • the flow rate of cooling gas its maximum value may be 90% of the blower capacity and its minimum value may be the minimum required for avoiding nonuniform cooling plus, say, 10% of the blower capacity.
  • the minimum flow rate required for avoiding nonuniform cooling can be obtained experimentally.
  • FIGURE 7 is a flow chart showing by way of example the calculations which are performed for setting the three factors at optimum levels for the cooling of each strip.
  • the following symbols have the following meanings:
  • the cooling curve, flow rate of cooling gas, angle of strip relative to the cooling rolls and coolant temperature may be calculated as will hereinafter be described.
  • the cooling curve for strip can be obtained by the integration of equation (1) by the length of the strip portion cooled by the cooling . rolls and the cooling gas.
  • the relationship between the coefficient a of heat transfer to the cooling gas and the flow rate of the cooling gas (in the case of cooling by the system of FIGURE 2, the pressure P of the cooling gas in the plenum chambers) may be determined experimentally as expressed, for example, by the following equation: where P: pressure of the cooling gas in the plenum chambers; a l , a 2 and a 3 : constants.
  • the pressure P of the cooling gas in the plenum chambers which makes it possible to obtain the target value of the final strip temperature may be determined in accordance with equations (1) and (2) by taking into account the specific values of the angle of the strip relative to the cooling rolls and the coolant temperature T which'are known.
  • the angle which makes it possible to obtain the target value of the final strip temperature may be determined in accordance with equations (1) and (2) by taking into account the specific values of the flow rate of the cooling gas or the pressure P of the cooling gas in the plenum chambers and the coolant temperature T w which are known.
  • the angle may be expressed by the following equation:
  • the coolant temperature T w which makes it possible to obtain the target value of the final strip temperature may be determined in accordance with equations (1) and (2) by taking into account the flow rate of the cooling gas or the pressure P of the cooling gas in the plenum chambers and the angle of the strip relative to the cooling rolls which are known.
  • FIGURE 8 Another cooling system is shown by way of example in FIGURE 8. It includes gas jet coolers 26 and 27 by which the strip is cooled before it is cooled by the cooling rolls 2 to 5.
  • the gas jet coolers can alternatively be disposed downstream of the cooling rolls.
  • FIGURES 2 and 8 it is also possible to combine the cooling systems of FIGURES 2 and 8 by, for example, disposing the gas jet coolers of FIGURE 8 upstream of the cooling system of FIGURE 2. In the event the combined cooling system of FIGURES 2 and 8 is utilized, it will be appropriate to employ four control factors, namely:
  • FIGURES 4 to 8 has been based on the control of one of the factors at a time in accordance with the order of priority. According to this invention, it is also possible to control the flow rate of cooling gas and the angle of the strip relative to the cooling rolls simultaneously as hereinbefore set forth. In this case, it is necessary to find experimentally the proportions of the contributions which those two factors make to the cooling of the strip, and it is, then, possible to determine the values in accordance with equations (1) and (2).
  • this invention is most saliently characterized by effecting the preferential control of one or two factors or parameters having a better response to control than the other factor or factors, while keeping the other factor or factors intact as far as practically feasible.
  • the method of this invention makes it possible to achieve the best possible yield of production irrespective of any change in the annealing conditions.
