Definitions
- the present invention relates to packaging of the type with opening by breaking a line of least resistance known as an easy-opening box.
- Such packages are known which are for example intended to contain a drink, preserves or other products.
- They include a cover in which is arranged a line of least resistance, for example an incision, delimiting an opening panel.
- An actuating ring is fixed to the opening panel using a rivet.
- the opening is caused by a tensile force on the actuating ring so as to break the metal at the level of the incision, the opening panel possibly being able to include a zone of connection with the cover so as not to come off. completely from the latter.
- Such packaging can be made of aluminum but they are then relatively expensive.
- the steel used for the production of such packaging must make it possible on the one hand to form the fastening rivet of the opening ring and, on the other hand, to break the line of least resistance easily without having to exert a too much effort.
- the breaking load Rm must not be too high because otherwise the opening force to be exerted to break the line of least resistance must be significant.
- the elastic limit ratio Re on breaking load Rm must be close to 1 so that the steel is sufficiently weakened to cause easy opening.
- this Re / Rm ratio should not be too high, that is to say too close to 1, because in this case, the steel being very weakened, it becomes almost impossible to form the rivet, this operation requiring drawing. deep of the steel lid of the package.
- the standard steel commonly used the elastic limit Re of which is equal to approximately 415 MPa and the breaking load Rm of the order of 430 MPa results in a Re / Rm ratio of the order of 0.96.
- An easy-opening cover produced with such a steel has a high opening force, due to the value of Rm and a residual thickness at the level of the relatively large incision.
- the level of elastic limit is important, which causes the formation of visible vermiculations during the stamping of the packaging, detrimental to the aesthetic appearance of the latter.
- the object of the invention is to provide a packaging of the type with opening by breaking a line of least resistance, for which the overall effort required for opening is reduced, while having an improved appearance. after stamping the packaging, and good ability to form the rivet.
- the subject of the invention is a metal packaging of the type with opening by rupture of a line of least resistance arranged in a wall portion of sheet steel, characterized in that the steel constituting the sheet has a carbon content of between 0.02 and 0.08% by weight and a boron content of between 0.002 and 0.004% by weight, the steel also containing nitrogen, the ratio of the boron content to the nitrogen content being greater than 0.8, the remainder being mainly iron and residual elements.
- the subject of the invention is also a sheet of steel intended for producing a package and characterized in that the ratio of its elastic limit to its load at break is between 0.87 and 0.96, preferably between 0.91 and 0.92.
- the subject of the invention is also a method of manufacturing a sheet suitable for producing the packaging according to the invention, in which the sheet is obtained by continuous rolling, and characterized in that after this continuous rolling, the sheet is subjected to a base annealing carried out for 8 to 10 hours at a temperature between approximately 550 and 650 ° C., the rise in temperature from ambient temperature being carried out in approximately 20 hours, then the sheet is subjected to a re-rolling cold with an elongation rate of between 5% and 10%.
- Reducing the force required for opening requires the use of a steel having a relatively low yield strength, which moreover makes it easier to wind the opening panel after breaking the incision, and by a high Re / Rm ratio.
- the appearance of the packaging as well as its resistance to corrosion are improved by the use of a sheet having a structure with fine equiaxed grains and not exhibiting an elastic limit bearing.
- the packaging according to the invention is produced from a steel sheet whose carbon content is between 0.02 and 0.08% by weight and the boron content is between 0.002 and 0.004% by weight, the steel also containing nitrogen in an amount less than 0.005%, the ratio of the boron content to the nitrogen content being greater than 0.8.
- a carbon content of less than 0.02% is difficult to achieve with the production processes conventional and may lead to insufficient mechanical strength of the cover.
- the ratio of the boron content to the nitrogen content must be greater than 0.8, the boron being limited to 0.004 % because, for a higher content, there is an increase in the mechanical characteristics of the sheet and we see preferential oxidation appear at the edge of the product, which is unacceptable from an aesthetic point of view.
- the process used to produce the sheet suitable for packaging according to the invention consists in that, after continuous rolling of the steel described above, the sheet is subjected to annealing on a basis carried out for 8 to 10 hours. at a temperature between approximately 550 and 650 ° C., the temperature rise from ambient temperature being carried out in approximately 20 hours. The sheet is then subjected to cold re-rolling with an elongation rate of between 5 and 10%.
- the ratio of the elastic limit to the breaking load is between 0.91 and 0.92.
- a package is thus obtained, the opening of which is fairly easy and having a good ability to form the rivet.
- the thickness remaining at the bottom of the incision must not be less than 70 microns under penalty of unacceptable damage, while this thickness remaining at the bottom of the incision may decrease up to 50 microns in the case of the steel according to the invention.
- This packaging produced from a sheet with an equiaxed structure with fine grains avoids, during the formation of the rivet, the appearance of roughness of deformation due to sagging, which is detrimental to the appearance of the packaging and to the holding a possible varnish.
