Definitions

  • the invention relates to an installation for electroplating a metal strip and in particular an installation for electrogalvanizing a steel strip.
  • the invention also relates to a coating process implemented in this installation, in particular for electro-galvanizing a steel strip.
  • Methods and devices are known for producing the electrolytic coating of a steel strip continuously, this strip being circulated so as to pass through one or preferably several successive electrolytic cells in which the coating metal is deposited on the two sides of the strip simultaneously or on only one of the two sides.
  • the installations and processes used in the future should make it possible to produce sheets comprising a single-sided coating or a very high-quality double-sided coating consisting either of pure zinc or of a zinc alloy containing nickel or iron.
  • These sheets must have very good dimensional tolerances, edges of very good quality and the coating must have a perfectly defined and perfectly regular thickness in all parts of the sheet produced.
  • this coating must not have any longitudinal marks liable to affect the appearance and quality of the product.
  • the known methods and devices which are extremely varied use fixed electrodes brought to an anode potential with respect to the strip which constitutes a mobile cathode circulating, on a part of its course, in the vicinity of the active surface of the anodes.
  • the anodes and the strip to be coated are therefore electrically connected to the corresponding terminals of a source of direct electric current capable of passing an electrolysis current of very high intensity through a layer of electrolytic liquid interposed between the anodes and the surface of the strip to be coated, this liquid being generally circulated, so as to improve its contact with the active surfaces and to ensure its renewal.
  • the electrolytic liquid is contained in a tank inside which the strip is brought to circulate near the active surfaces of the anodes which are completely immersed in the electrolytic liquid.
  • the different known methods and devices differ from each other mainly by the shape and position of the anodes, by the means for guiding the strip inside the tank filled with electrolytic liquid, by the means for supplying the cathode current strip, by the use of soluble anodes or, on the contrary, insoluble anodes and by the nature of the electrolyte used.
  • the coating metal is transported in the electrolyte by the electrolysis current between the anode and the strip brought to a cathodic potential whereas in the case of insoluble anodes, the coating metal comes from the electrolytic bath itself which must be continuously regenerated.
  • Certain coating installations comprise anodes having planar active surfaces between which the sheet metal to be coated passes. These anodes can be arranged either vertically or horizontally and the corresponding electrolysis cells are designated as vertical cells or horizontal cells.
  • the coating is carried out on both sides of the strip simultaneously.
  • the electrolysis cells designated as radial cells each consist of a tank containing an electrolytic liquid in which the anodes are immersed, delimiting an active internal surface in the form of a portion of a cylinder opposite which one face of the strip to be coated, the width of the interval between the internal face of the anodes and the surface to be coated being substantially constant.
  • a drum mounted to rotate about a horizontal axis and substantially coaxial with the interior surface of the anodes is disposed inside the tank, so as to be partially immersed in the electrolytic liquid. This drum moves the strip inside the electrolytic cell.
  • the electrolysis current flows through the space of annular shape and constant width between the interior surface of the anodes and the surface of the strip to be coated, in the radial direction of the drum which defines the cylindrical winding surface of the strip.
  • This process has advantages in that the space between the electrodes in which the electrolyte is circulated can be maintained at a substantially constant value and practically independent of the flatness and the tension state of the strip which is pressed against the drum.
  • this type of radial cell installation is particularly well suited to the production of a coating on one side of the strip or to the production of coverings of different natures on each of the sides of the strip.
  • the drum is coated, at least in its end parts, with a layer of flexible material such as an elastomer.
  • the lateral parts of the strip adjacent to its two edges are brought into contact with the parts of the drum coated with flexible and impermeable material, with a contact pressure sufficient to ensure a perfect seal. This avoids any infiltration of electrolytic liquid between the drum and the metal strip.
  • the electrical contacting of the strip with the negative terminal of the current source is generally effected by means of the strip displacement drum immersed in the cell of the electrolysis cell.
  • the drum has on its lateral surface a ferrule of a metallic alloy, placed in a central position on the drum between its end parts coated with the flexible material of the elastomer type which is an electrical insulator.
  • the lateral layers of elastomer are slightly projecting with respect to the central ferrule ensuring the electrical contact of the strip. It is therefore necessary, to bring the strip into electrical contact with the central ferrule of the drum, to exert sufficient pressure on the lateral end portions of elastomer to compress them so that the surface of the strip is in contact with the conductive ferrule over the entire surface of this ferrule.
  • the distribution of the electric field along the width of the conductive shell is not perfectly uniform and in particular, certain anomalies appear in the vicinity of the edges of the shell where the electric field increases significantly.
  • An installation comprising cells of the radial type in which the electric current is supplied to the strip by means of rollers arranged on either side of the drum, these current supply rollers associated with rollers support being placed at a relatively small distance above the level of the liquid in the cell of the electrolysis cell and the ends of the anodes.
  • the cathode current supply rollers to the strip are of very small diameter and come into contact with the strip in an area practically limited to a generator of the current supply roller. It is therefore only possible to pass a relatively low intensity current through the strip, which limits the possibilities of the installation as regards its productivity and the production of thick coating layers.
  • the electrolysis cell although of the radial type, uses insoluble anodes which require continuous regeneration of the electrolyte during the coating process.
  • the strip is pinched, before entering the electrolytic liquid bath and at its exit, between the corresponding guide roller and the drum.
  • the guide and tension rollers ensuring the supply of electric current to the strip are of small diameter compared to the diameter of the drum and must exert a relatively large traction on the strip to ensure a tight contact of the strip. with the drum and a passage of electric current from the guide rollers to the strip without arcing.
  • the metal strip reaches the guide rollers of the electrolysis cell and leaves this electrolysis cell in a substantially horizontal direction, which is not favorable in the case where several cells are arranged one after the other. others to constitute a coating installation by depositing successive layers on the strip.
  • Chloride electrolytes have a much lower electrical resistivity than sulfate electrolytes, which generally results in less current consumption when used in an electrolytic coating installation. On the other hand, chlorides are generally more corrosive and cause faster wear of the cell structures coming into contact with the electrolyte.
  • the object of the invention is therefore to propose an installation for electrolytic coating of a metal strip and in particular an installation for electrogalvanizing a steel strip comprising at least one cell consisting of a tank containing electrolytic liquid, a rotating drum with a horizontal axis entirely coated on its external cylindrical lateral surface with an electrically insulating material and partially immersed in the electrolytic liquid, a set of soluble anodes in coating metal, in form of portions of rings arranged facing the external cylindrical surface of the drum in its submerged part with which the metal strip to be coated is kept in contact, means for supplying the anodes with electric current, means for injection of electrolytic liquid between the anodes and the metal strip in contact with the drum, against the current with respect to the direction of circulation of the strip and of the sets of electrically conductive rollers in contact with the strip in an area situated above of the upper level of the electrolytic liquid in the tank electrically connected to means ensuring a circulation ion of the electric current in the metal strip and a cathodic potential of this strip with respect to the
