Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method of galvanizing steel sheets containing oxidizable addition elements, in particular silicon.
  • steel grades containing oxidizable addition elements, in particular silicon are used.
  • steels containing oxidizable addition elements, in particular silicon, are precisely used for their specific mechanical and / or electrical properties.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a process for galvanizing steel sheets with a high content of oxidizable additives, in particular silicon, which is economical, efficient and not detrimental to the mechanical and / or electrical properties of said steel.
  • the subject of the invention is a process for galvanizing sheet steel containing oxidizable addition elements, in particular silicon, in which the sheet is annealed under an annealing atmosphere which is non-oxidizing and then the sheet is quenched in a galvanizing bath, characterized in that said annealing atmosphere contains between 0.005% and 1% of ammonia.
  • the invention applies to steel sheets containing oxidizable addition elements in proportions such that they prevent wettability of the sheet in the galvanizing bath to ensure a homogeneous coating of galvanization.
  • the invention is particularly applicable to steel sheets with more than 0.2% silicon.
  • - Said annealing atmosphere contains between 0.02% and 0.5% of ammonia.
  • the residence time of said sheet in said atmosphere is less than or equal to 3 minutes.
  • Another subject of the invention is a device for galvanizing sheet metal to implement the method according to the invention of the type comprising means for annealing sheet metal under a controlled atmosphere, which lead downstream to means for dipping the annealed sheet metal in a galvanizing bath, and means for controlling said atmosphere, characterized in that the means for atmosphere control are suitable for introducing and maintaining in said atmosphere ammonia at a content of between 0.005 and 1% and in that said ammonia is introduced into said atmosphere near the entry of the sheet in the means of annealed.
  • the subject of the invention is also a steel sheet containing oxidizable addition elements, in particular silicon, galvanized by the process according to the invention of the type having an interface layer, between said steel and the galvanizing layer, containing nitrogen in solid solution characterized in that the thickness of said interface layer corresponds to less than 1 gram per square meter of interface surface.
  • the invention may also have as an additional characteristic silicon at least 0.2% as an addition element in said steel.
  • the galvanizing installation that is used comprises means for annealing the sheet metal strip under a controlled atmosphere, which lead downstream to means for quenching the sheet in a galvanizing bath, and means for controlling the said atmosphere.
  • the annealing means can be compartmentalized into several zones corresponding to different temperatures, in particular a cooling zone before entering the galvanizing bath.
  • the atmosphere of this cooling zone can communicate with the atmosphere above the surface of the galvanizing bath. In each of these zones, the atmosphere is controlled.
  • the annealing means and the sheet dipping means as well as the atmosphere control means are known in themselves.
  • the atmosphere control means are adapted in a manner known per se to introduce ammonia into the annealing zone and to control the ammonia content of the annealing atmosphere between 0.005 and 1%.
  • the ammonia is introduced into the annealing atmosphere near the entry of the sheet into the annealing means.
  • This particular arrangement concerning the galvanizing device goes against conventional designs for supplying gas to annealing atmospheres, according to which, in particular for supplying, for example, nitrogen and hydrogen, the gas is introduced essentially at the outlet of the sheet metal annealing means, so that the gas flows against the current of the sheet in the annealing means.
  • the method according to the invention is applicable to steel sheets containing oxidizable addition elements.
  • the method according to the invention is notably applicable to silicon steel sheets, in particular to more than 0.2% of silicon.
  • the silicon sheet to be galvanized is cleaned in a manner known per se, for example by passing the bare sheet through a flame to degrease the surface to be coated.
  • the sheet is then annealed in the annealing means of the installation, under conditions of temperature, duration and composition of the annealing atmosphere adapted in a manner known per se to obtain in particular the desired rec ⁇ stalling of the steel and, as necessary, the reduction of iron oxides possibly present on the surface of the sheet after cleaning.
  • a condition is added concerning the ammonia content of said atmosphere which must be between 0.005% and 1%, which can be achieved by means of control. previously defined atmospheres.
  • said ammonia content is maintained between 0.02% and 0.5%.
  • the annealing time that is to say the time taken for the sheet to pass through the annealing means, is preferably less than 3 minutes.
  • the annealing temperature is generally between 500 C C and 900 ° C.
  • Said annealing conditions also include, as necessary, a cooling step in a zone of the annealing means provided for this purpose, before quenching the sheet in the galvanizing bath.
  • the galvanized sheet After annealing under this atmosphere comprising ammonia, said annealing therefore comprising possible cooling of the sheet, the galvanized sheet is properly annealed in a manner known per se.
  • the sheet obtained by the process according to the invention has on the surface of the steel sheet after annealing, or at the interface between steel and galvanizing layer, an interface layer composed of steel containing nitrogen in solution. solid and / or composed of iron nitride.
  • this interface layer has a thickness corresponding to less than 1 g / m2. This low thickness of the interface layer contributes to maintaining the mechanical and electrical properties of the steel.
  • the invention it therefore becomes possible to improve the corrosion resistance and the surface appearance of galvanized silicon steel sheets while maintaining the initial mechanical and / or electrical properties.
  • a galvanizing device in which, according to a preferred variant of the invention described above, the ammonia is introduced into the annealing atmosphere near the inlet of the sheet, the wettability is further improved. steel.
  • the invention also advantageously applies to steels having other oxidizable addition elements than silicon, in particular titanium, manganese, chromium and aluminum.
  • the sample to be galvanized is a steel sheet containing 0.3% silicon.
  • the sample is annealed under a reducing atmosphere containing 15% hydrogen, the rest being nitrogen and the inevitable impurities.
  • Example 1 The result of this comparative example is that problems of wettability of the sample are observed in the galvanizing bath, which is detrimental to the adhesion and the homogeneity of the coating, therefore to the corrosion resistance that he brings.
  • Example 1 The result of this comparative example is that problems of wettability of the sample are observed in the galvanizing bath, which is detrimental to the adhesion and the homogeneity of the coating, therefore to the corrosion resistance that he brings.
  • the purpose of this example is to illustrate the galvanizing process according to the invention.
  • Example 2 The purpose of this test is to illustrate that, according to the invention, the presence of ammonia at low concentration in the annealing atmosphere before galvanization does not appreciably modify the mechanical properties of the silicon steel sheets, often says "HR" steel, that is to say "High Strength".
  • the steel grade used corresponds to the steel called "SOLDUR 490" from the company SOLLAC, which contains between 0.2 and 0.3% of silicon.
  • the ammonia content in the annealing atmosphere remains much less than or equal to 1%, there is therefore no significant change in the mechanical properties.
  • the purpose of this example is to illustrate the drawbacks associated with the application to a steel sheet of a galvanizing process in which the steel is annealed in an atmosphere containing ammonia in a higher proportion than in invention, as in GB 1 396419.
  • the purpose of this example is also to illustrate the drawbacks associated with the application, to steels other than those which contain oxidizable addition elements in high proportions, of a galvanization process in which the steel is annealed under a atmosphere containing ammonia in small proportion as in the present invention.
  • Document GB 1 396 419 describes a process for nitriding steel wire, which comprises an annealing treatment under a reducing atmosphere containing high proportions of ammonia (> 15%), which has for effect of nitriding the surface to be coated.
  • This particular galvanizing process applies here to wires (and not to sheets), to so-called effervescent steels; the effervescent steels are non "deoxidized” steels; they therefore do not contain oxidizable addition elements and therefore do not pose problems of wettability in a galvanizing bath.
  • the effect sought by nitriding the surface of the steel before galvanizing is to improve the adhesion of the galvanizing coating, which is a particularly critical problem on steel wires.
  • the means described in this document namely the introduction of ammonia in high proportion into the annealing atmosphere, applies to other steels than those of the field of the present invention and does not provide any particular result. in terms of wettability, since this wettability does not pose any problem for this type of steel.
  • Comparative Example 2 therefore goes against that of Example 2 according to the invention, at the level of the evolution of the mechanical properties, well preserved in the case of Example 2 for the weak ammonia contents but significantly deteriorated in the case of Comparative Example 2, including for the low ammonia contents.
