Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a system for the hot coating of metallic strips, in which the metal strip is in an unwinding station subsequent welding machine first transferred to an endless belt and the endless belt is then subjected to a subsequent finishing process which is a main and a subsequent pickling and in a final treatment step in the fire-coating part, the passing of the endless belt through a weld pool.
  • a strip coil for example Comprehensive double or reversible reel with subsequent welding machine Unwinding station by welding the respective coil end to the To convert the beginning of a follow-up coil into an endless belt or one To provide endless belt.
  • the unwind station includes the following ensuring continuous treatment process, in vertical or horizontal construction of sling storage. In this is thus scaled tape stocked, with a not inconsiderable proportion of dust accrues. The memory must therefore be encapsulated. After the sling store in a first process step, the strip is processed by a stretch bending straightener pulled to achieve the desired flatness of the belt.
  • the strip running out of the stretch-leveling machine is used in the known Plant introduced into a pickling station where the scale layer as well as reaction products be removed from the belt surface.
  • the belt then passes through a rinsing station to insert the Rinse the belt surface from residues of the pickling and pickling products, before it is introduced into a drying station and dried in it.
  • This Main stain with sink can have a subsequent stain in front of the dryer with the following Connect the sink.
  • the dryer finally turns the belt into one another process step introduced into an oven and under Protective gas atmosphere set to coating temperature before it is in a final process step through a weld pool and thereby the surface of the tape is provided with a metallic coating.
  • EP-A 1 0863 222 is based on a hot-rolled strip a method and a plant for producing a cold-rolled, galvanized Metal strip became known, in which the supporting strip is first stained, then cold rolled and then galvanized. This is done continuously in a row, which is why the cold rolling process is coupled with the pickling and galvanizing process becomes.
  • a metal strip runs horizontally and continuously first a stain and then a main stain.
  • the invention has for its object a method and a system of to create the kind mentioned at the beginning, with less effort a more variable Coating process enables.
  • the pickling advantageously being a Connect the rinsing station and a drying station, a scale-free metal band is present, which is an encapsulation of the inlet storage and the stretch bending leveler dispensable.
  • the stretch bending leveler can be carried out simply because there is no need for complex scale extraction.
  • Hard-rolled or pre-annealed has the advantage that when switching to the Operation with cold strip no prior cleaning of the memory, all rolls and the stretch leveler is required. This minimizes set-up times and the quality of the tape is improved.
  • the only figure shows a system diagram for the hot-dip coating of a Metal band by fire coating.
  • the system consists of an inlet part I and a fire coating part II, these two parts from each other are decoupled, so that the inlet part I discontinuously and the hot-coating part II works in continuous operation.
  • the inlet part I comprises a main stain 1, a sink 2 and a dryer 3.
  • the fire-coating part II has a stretching judge or a stretch-leveling machine 4, a pickling 5, a sink 6, a dryer 7, in a horizontal or vertical construction one under a protective gas atmosphere set furnace 8 and finally a melt pool for fire coating 9 on.
  • the inlet part I is an unwinding station 10 (double or reversible reel) subsequent welding machine 11 and a loop pit 12 upstream. Between the inlet part I, namely after the one there Dryer 3, and the fire coating part II is one in the embodiment horizontal tape or inlet storage 13 arranged.
  • a metal strip 14 to be treated arrives in the form of a strip coil 15 Unwinding station 10 of the system shown and runs through it in the direction the arrow on the output side.
  • the end of the strip is in the welding machine 11 of a first coil welded to the beginning of the strip of a subsequent coil, see above that the metal strip 14 is passed through the system parts as an endless strip.
  • the metal strip 14 comes out of the welding machine 11 directly into the main pickling 1 and the subsequent system parts 2 or 3 of the inlet part I, so that in the main storage capacity Inlet store 13 and also the following parts of the system of the fire-coating part II a scale that is always free of scale runs in.
