Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method and an installation for hot-dip and continuous coating of a metal strip, in particular a steel strip.
- steel sheets are used coated with a protective layer, for example against corrosion, and most often coated with a layer of zinc.
- This type of sheet is used in various industries to produce all kinds of parts and in particular appearance parts.
- continuous dip coating installations are used in which a steel strip is immersed in a bath of molten metal, for example zinc, which may contain other chemical elements such as l aluminum, iron, and possible additives such as lead, antimony, etc.
- molten metal for example zinc
- the temperature of the bath depends on the nature of the metal and in the case of zinc the temperature of the bath is l 'around 460 ° C.
- this steel strip Before the steel strip passes through the molten metal bath, this steel strip first circulates in an annealing furnace under a reducing atmosphere in order to recrystallize it after the significant work hardening associated with the operation. cold rolling, and to prepare its surface chemical state in order to favor the chemical reactions necessary for the actual quenching operation.
- the steel strip is brought to around 650 to 900JC depending on the grade for the time necessary for recrystallization and surface preparation. It is then cooled to a temperature close to that of the molten metal bath using exchangers.
- the steel strip After passing through the annealing furnace, the steel strip passes through a sheath also called "bell descent" or "horn” under a protective atmosphere with respect to steel and is immersed in the bath of molten metal.
- the lower part of the sheath is immersed in the metal bath to determine, with the surface of said bath and inside this sheath, a liquid seal which is crossed by the steel strip during its scrolling in said sheath.
- the steel strip is deflected by a roller immersed in the metal bath and it emerges from this metal bath, then passes through wringing means serving to regulate the thickness of the coating of liquid metal on this steel strip .
- the surface of the liquid seal inside the sheath is generally covered with zinc oxide, resulting from the reaction between the atmosphere inside this sheath and the zinc of the liquid seal and solid mattes from the dissolution reaction of the steel strip.
- These mattes or other particles in supersaturation in the zinc bath, have a density lower than that of liquid zinc and rise to the surface of the bath and in particular to the surface of the liquid seal.
- the movement of the steel strip through the surface of the liquid seal causes entrainment of the stagnant particles.
- These particles entrained by the movement of the liquid seal linked to the speed of the steel strip are not discharged into the volume of the bath and emerge in the zone of extraction of the strip, creating appearance defects.
- the coated steel strip has appearance defects which are amplified, or even revealed during the zinc wringing operation.
- the intruded particles are retained by the pneumatic wringing jets before being ejected or disintegrated, thus creating streaks in under thickness in the liquid zinc with a length of a few millimeters - very few centimeters.
- a first solution to avoid these drawbacks is to clean the surface of the liquid seal by pumping zinc oxides and mattes from the bath.
- a second solution consists in reducing the surface of the liquid seal at the point of passage of the steel strip by placing a sheet or ceramic plate at the level of this liquid seal to keep part of the particles away from the strip. on the surface and obtain a self-cleaning of the liquid seal by this strip.
- This arrangement does not make it possible to remove all the particles present on the surface of the liquid seal and self-cleaning is all the more important as the surface of the liquid seal is reduced, which is incompatible with the conditions industrial operating.
- Another solution is to add a frame to the surface of the liquid seal in the sheath and surrounding the steel strip.
- This arrangement does not make it possible to completely eliminate the defects linked to the entrainment of zinc oxides and mattes by the running of the steel strip.
- a solution is also known which aims to obtain cleanliness of the liquid seal by renewing the bath of liquid metal.
- the renewal is carried out by introducing liquid zinc pumped into the bath in the vicinity of the immersion zone of the steel strip.
- the piping ensuring the renewal of the liquid zinc can cause scratches on the steel strip before its immersion and it is itself a source of defects by accumulation of condensed zinc vapors above the liquid joint.
- a process is also known which is based on the renewal of zinc at the level of the liquid seal and in which this renewal is carried out using a stainless steel box surrounding the steel strip and opening onto the surface of the liquid seal.
- a pump sucks the particles entrained by the spillage thus created and discharges them into the volume of the bath.
- This process also requires a very high pumping rate to maintain a permanent spill effect insofar as the box surrounding the strip in the volume of the bath above the bottom roller cannot be hermetically sealed.
- the object of the invention is to propose a method and an installation for continuous galvanizing of a metal strip which makes it possible to avoid the abovementioned drawbacks and to achieve the very low density of the defects satisfying the requirements of customers desiring surfaces without appearance defects.
- the subject of the invention is therefore a process for the continuous dipping of a metal strip in a tank containing a bath of liquid metal, a process in which the metal strip is continuously scrolled, in a protective atmosphere whose lower part is immersed in the liquid metal bath to determine with the surface of said bath and inside this sheath, a liquid seal, the metal strip is deflected on a deflector roller placed in the bath of metal and the coated metal strip is wrung out at the outlet from the metal bath, characterized in that a natural flow of the liquid metal is produced from the surface of the liquid seal in two discharge compartments formed in said sheath and each comprising a wall internal extending the sheath at its lower part and at least opposite each side of the strip, the upper edge of each compartment being
- the subject of the invention is a continuous hot dip coating installation of a metal strip, of the type comprising:
- each compartment has a lower part flared towards the bottom of the tank and an upper part parallel to the metal strip
