Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and an installation for hot-dip coating and continuous coating of a metal strip, in particular a steel strip.
  • steel sheets coated with a protective layer for example against corrosion and usually coated with a zinc layer are used.
  • This type of sheet is used in various industries to make all kinds of parts and in particular appearance parts.
  • an Fe-Zn-Al intermetallic alloy is formed on the surface of said strip with a thickness of some ten nanometers.
  • the corrosion resistance of the parts thus coated is ensured by the zinc, so the thickness is most often achieved by pneumatic spinning.
  • the adhesion of zinc to the steel strip is provided by the intermetallic alloy layer mentioned above.
  • this steel strip Before the passage of the steel strip in the bath of molten metal, this steel strip first circulates in a annealing furnace under a reducing atmosphere in order to recrystallize it after the important work hardening related to the rolling operation. cold, and prepare its chemical surface state to promote the chemical reactions necessary for the soaking operation itself.
  • the steel strip is brought to about 650 to 900 ° C depending on the grade for the time required 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 drop” or “horn” under a protective atmosphere with respect to the steel and is immersed in the bath of molten metal.
  • a sheath also called "bell drop” or “horn” under a protective atmosphere with respect to the 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 traversed by the steel strip when it is moved through said sheath.
  • the steel strip is deflected by a roll immersed in the metal bath and it emerges from the metal bath, then passes through the wiper means for regulating the thickness of the liquid metal coating on the 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, supersaturation in the zinc bath have a lower density than liquid zinc and go back to the surface of the bath and in particular to the surface of the liquid seal.
  • 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 sub-thick streaks in the liquid zinc of a length of a few millimeters to a few centimeters.
  • a first solution to avoid these disadvantages consists in cleaning the surface of the liquid seal by pumping zinc oxides and mattes from the bath.
  • a second solution is to reduce the surface of the liquid seal at the point of passage of the steel strip by placing a plate of sheet metal or ceramic at this liquid seal to keep away from the band a portion of the particles present on the surface and get a self-cleaning of the liquid seal by this tape.
  • This arrangement does not allow to remove all the particles present on the surface of the liquid seal and the self-cleaning is all the more important that the surface of the liquid seal is reduced, which is incompatible with the industrial conditions of exploitation.
  • 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 completely eliminate the defects related to the entrainment of zinc oxides and mattes by the scrolling of the steel strip.
  • This solution can only work a few hours or even a day before becoming an additional source of defects.
  • this solution only partially processes the liquid seal and does not achieve a very low density of defects satisfying the requirements of customers wanting surfaces without appearance defects.
  • Renewal is achieved 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 liquid zinc can cause scratches on the steel strip before immersion and is itself a source of defects by accumulation of condensed zinc vapor above the liquid seal.
  • a process is also known which is based on the renewal of zinc at the liquid seal and wherein this renewal is carried out using a stainless steel box surrounding the steel strip and opening on the surface of the liquid seal .
  • a pump sucks the particles entrained by the spill thus created and pushes them back into the volume of the bath.
  • This method also requires a very high pumping rate to maintain a permanent spill effect in that the box surrounding the strip in the bath volume above the bottom roller can not be hermetically sealed.
  • JP-A-04120258 discloses a coating installation by dipping a metal strip having a sheath, immersed in the bath of liquid metal and having two liquid metal spill compartments.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a method and an installation for continuously galvanizing a metal strip which makes it possible to avoid the above-mentioned drawbacks and to achieve the very low density of defects satisfying the requirements of customers desiring surfaces without appearance defects.
  • the subject of the invention is therefore a process for the continuous coating of a metal strip in a tank containing a bath of liquid metal, a process in which the metal strip is continuously deflected under a protective atmosphere in a sheath of which the lower part is immersed in the bath of liquid metal to determine with the surface of said bath and inside this sheath, a liquid seal, the metal strip is deflected on a baffle roll disposed in the metal bath and the coated metal strip is dewatered at the outlet of the metal bath, characterized in that a natural flow of the liquid metal, of the surface of the liquid seal, is carried out in two discharge compartments formed in said sheath and each having an internal wall extending the sheath at its lower part and at least opposite each face of the strip, the upper edge of each compartment being positioned at below said surface, the level of liquid metal in said compartments is detected and the level of liquid metal in said compartments is maintained at a level below the surface of the liquid seal so that the drop height of the liquid metal in compartments st greater
