Abstract

A thin layer of a metal chosen from nickel, cobalt and chromium is deposited electrolytically on the strip and the strip thus coated is passed through a bath of zinc which has an aluminium content of approximately 55 % by weight. The steel strip is preferably subjected to annealing under a protective atmosphere after the deposition of the abovementioned thin layer and before the strip is passed through the zinc-aluminium bath.

Description

La présente invention concerne un procédé pour former un revêtement au trempé de zinc-aluminium sur une bande d'acier.The present invention relates to a method for forming a zinc-aluminum dip coating on a steel strip.

Le revêtement au trempé d'une bande d'acier en continu est une technique qui est connue et largement appliquée depuis de nombreuses années. Pour l'essentiel, elle consiste à faire défiler une bande d'acier dans un bain de métal ou d'alliage fondu, puis à solidifier le revêtement après avoir réglé son épaisseur. Généralement, l'opération de revêtement au trempé est précédée d'un recuit sous une atmosphère réductrice, afin de débarrasser la surface de la bande de toute trace d'oxyde pouvant compromettre l'adhérence du revêtement.The dip coating of a continuous steel strip is a technique which has been known and widely applied for many years. Essentially, it consists of running a strip of steel through a bath of molten metal or alloy, then solidifying the coating after adjusting its thickness. Generally, the dip coating operation is preceded by annealing in a reducing atmosphere, in order to rid the surface of the strip of any trace of oxide which may compromise the adhesion of the coating.

On utilise couramment dans ce cadre, des alliages de zinc-aluminium, contenant typiquement, en poids, outre le zinc, 55 % d'aluminium ainsi que 1,6 % de silicium. De tels alliages combinent la haute résistance à la corrosion de l'aluminium et la protection cathodique assurée par le zinc. L'addition de silicium a pour but de modérer la réaction entre le fer de la bande d'acier et l'aluminium du revêtement. En l'absence de silicium, cette réaction conduit en effet à une très importante perte en fer et à un revêtement complètement transformé en Fe-Al qui ne présente aucune adhérence.In this context, zinc-aluminum alloys are commonly used, typically containing, by weight, in addition to zinc, 55% of aluminum as well as 1.6% of silicon. Such alloys combine the high corrosion resistance of aluminum and the cathodic protection provided by zinc. The purpose of the addition of silicon is to moderate the reaction between the iron of the steel strip and the aluminum of the coating. In the absence of silicon, this reaction leads in fact to a very significant loss of iron and to a coating completely transformed into Fe-Al which has no adhesion.

Il est cependant apparu que ces revêtements de Zn-Al-Si présentent de graves défauts d'adhérence et de ductilité lorsque les articles revêtus sont soumis à des opérations de pliage ou de profilage, par exemple lors de la fabrication de panneaux destinés à la construction. Ces défauts conduisent à la fissuration du revêtement, les fissures formées pouvant quelquefois mener à l'écaillage et même à la pelade du revêtement.However, it has appeared that these Zn-Al-Si coatings have serious adhesion and ductility defects when the coated articles are subjected to bending or profiling operations, for example during the manufacture of panels intended for construction. . These defects lead to cracking of the coating, the cracks formed can sometimes lead to chipping and even to the coating of the coating.

La fragilité et le manque d'adhérence de ces revêtements semblent provenir de trois causes principales. En premier lieu, les revêtements présentent une structure, composée essentiellement d'un mélange métastable de deux phases qui ne se solidifient pas simultanément; il apparaît ainsi des zones riches en aluminium et des zones riches en zinc, qui présentent des propriétés physiques distinctes et sont le siège de contraintes internes. De plus, il se forme à l'interface entre le substrat en acier et le revêtement de zinc-aluminium, une couche de particules intermétalliques fragiles qui dégradent l'adhérence. Enfin, le silicium ajouté pour modérer la réaction entre le fer et l'aluminium ne reste pas entièrement en solution; au refroidissement, il précipite sous forme d'aiguilles qui sont à l'origine de concentrations de contraintes et entraînent la fragilité du revêtement.The fragility and lack of adhesion of these coatings appear to stem from three main causes. Firstly, the coatings have a structure, essentially composed of a metastable mixture of two phases which do not solidify simultaneously; it thus appears rich areas made of aluminum and zones rich in zinc, which have distinct physical properties and are the seat of internal constraints. In addition, a layer of fragile intermetallic particles is formed at the interface between the steel substrate and the zinc-aluminum coating, which degrades adhesion. Finally, the silicon added to moderate the reaction between iron and aluminum does not remain entirely in solution; on cooling, it precipitates in the form of needles which are the source of stress concentrations and cause the fragility of the coating.

On a déjà cherché à remédier à ces inconvénients au moyen de traitements thermiques spécifiques. On a notamment proposé d'effectuer un réchauffage de la bande revêtue à 300 - 350°C pendant 3 minutes, ou encore un recuit en bobine à 150°C pendant 24 heures. Ces traitements se sont avérés techniquement satisfaisants, mais non viables sur le plan économique en raison des charges qu'ils imposent.We have already sought to remedy these drawbacks by means of specific heat treatments. In particular, it has been proposed to reheat the coated strip at 300-350 ° C for 3 minutes, or even coil annealing at 150 ° C for 24 hours. These treatments have proven to be technically satisfactory, but not economically viable because of the costs they impose.

La présente invention propose un procédé pour former un revêtement au trempé de zinc-aluminium sur une bande d'acier qui ne donne pas lieu aux inconvénients précités et qui permet, par des moyens simples et économiquement acceptables en fonctionnement industriel, de conférer à ce revêtement d'excellentes propriétés d'adhérence et de ductilité sans altérer son pouvoir de protection contre la corrosion.The present invention provides a process for forming a zinc-aluminum dip coating on a steel strip which does not give rise to the aforementioned drawbacks and which allows, by simple and economically acceptable means in industrial operation, to give this coating excellent adhesion and ductility properties without impairing its corrosion protection power.

Conformément à la présente invention, un procédé pour former un revêtement au trempé de zinc-aluminium sur une bande d'acier est caractérisé en ce que l'on dépose par voie électrolytique sur ladite bande, une couche mince d'un métal choisi parmi le nickel, le cobalt et le chrome, et en ce que l'on fait passer ladite bande ainsi revêtue à travers un bain de zinc présentant une teneur en aluminium d'environ 55 % en poids.According to the present invention, a method for forming a zinc-aluminum dip coating on a steel strip is characterized in that an thin layer of a metal chosen from the nickel, cobalt and chromium, and in that said strip thus coated is passed through a zinc bath having an aluminum content of approximately 55% by weight.

Suivant une mise en oeuvre particulière, on soumet ladite bande d'acier à un recuit sous une atmosphère protectrice après le dépôt de ladite couche mince et avant le passage de la bande à travers ledit bain de zinc-aluminium.According to a particular implementation, said steel strip is annealed under a protective atmosphere after the deposition of said thin layer and before the passage of the strip through said zinc-aluminum bath.

Suivant une caractéristique supplémentaire du procédé de l'invention, on opère le dépôt électrolytique de ladite couche mince avec une densité de courant d'au moins 300 A/dm², et de préférence comprise entre 350 et 450 A/dm².According to an additional characteristic of the process of the invention, the electrolytic deposition of said thin layer is carried out with a current density of at least 300 A / dm², and preferably between 350 and 450 A / dm².

La couche mince de métal a notamment pour effet de freiner ou d'empêcher les échanges entre le substrat en acier d'une part et le revêtement de zincaluminium d'autre part. Elle atténue ainsi la réaction entre le fer du substrat et l'aluminium du revêtement et contribue à améliorer l'adhérence de ce dernier. En outre, elle permet d'éviter la présence de silicium dans le bain de zinc-aluminium; le revêtement de zinc-aluminium ne comporte donc plus de précipités de silicium fragilisants et sa ductilité s'en trouve nettement améliorée.The thin layer of metal has in particular the effect of slowing down or preventing the exchanges between the steel substrate on the one hand and the zincaluminium coating on the other hand. It thus attenuates the reaction between the iron of the substrate and the aluminum of the coating and contributes to improving the adhesion of the latter. In addition, it avoids the presence of silicon in the zinc-aluminum bath; the zinc-aluminum coating therefore no longer contains embrittling silicon precipitates and its ductility is markedly improved.

A titre d'exemple, on a déposé du nickel en couche mince, correspondant à environ 3 g Ni/m² en double face, sur des panneaux en acier. On a utilisé à cet effet une solution électrolytique à 260 g/l de NiSO₄.6H₂O et 35 g/l de H₃BO₃, dont le pH a été ajusté à 2,5 par addition d'acide sulfurique. La densité de courant était de 330 A/dm². Les panneaux ont ensuite subi un recuit à 720°C sous une atmosphère de N₂ - 5 % H₂ pendant 3 minutes, puis ils ont été revêtus par immersion dans un bain de zinc contenant 55 % en poids d'aluminium et pas de silicium.For example, nickel was deposited in a thin layer, corresponding to approximately 3 g Ni / m² in double face, on steel panels. An electrolytic solution containing 260 g / l of NiSO₄.6H₂O and 35 g / l of H₃BO₃ was used for this purpose, the pH of which was adjusted to 2.5 by addition of sulfuric acid. The current density was 330 A / dm². The panels were then annealed at 720 ° C under an N₂ - 5% H₂ atmosphere for 3 minutes, then they were coated by immersion in a zinc bath containing 55% by weight of aluminum and no silicon.

L'analyse des revêtements obtenus montre que le nickel ne joue pas uniquement un rôle de barrière entre l'acier et le revêtement. Les couches les plus intérieures de la zone de réaction, c'est-à-dire du côté de l'acier, sont essentiellement constituées de Fe-Al, avec de très faibles pourcentages de nickel et de zinc. En se déplaçant vers l'extérieur, on rencontre alors des couches à base d'aluminium enrichies en nickel et en zinc, avec une teneur en fer très faible.Analysis of the coatings obtained shows that nickel does not only act as a barrier between the steel and the coating. The innermost layers of the reaction zone, i.e. on the steel side, are essentially made of Fe-Al, with very low percentages of nickel and zinc. Moving outwards, we then come across layers of aluminum enriched with nickel and zinc, with a very low iron content.

Le revêtement proprement dit, c'est-à-dire la couche extérieure, est constituée de deux phases principales, respectivement enrichies en aluminium et en zinc, qui contiennent encore des traces de fer. Par endroits, le revêtement présente en outre des particules très riches en nickel.The actual coating, that is to say the outer layer, consists of two main phases, respectively enriched with aluminum and zinc, which still contain traces of iron. In places, the coating also has particles very rich in nickel.

Cette structure résiste très bien à la flexion à 180° sur deux fois l'épaisseur du panneau, ainsi qu'au profilage, sans fissuration notable ni écaillage.This structure is very resistant to bending at 180 ° over twice the thickness of the panel, as well as to profiling, without notable cracking or chipping.
