Definitions
- the present invention relates to a novel method of hot-coating a steel sheet by dipping in a bath of liquid metal, in particular containing molten zinc.
- the invention relates to the control of the oxidation-reduction of the atmosphere of the input horn in the liquid zinc bath, with respect to iron and liquid zinc, more specifically in the vicinity of the wetting line.
- US Pat. No. 4,557,953 (corresponding to EP-A-0 172 681) proposes a method in which an atmosphere of inert gases containing 1-8% hydrogen by volume in combination with 300 to 4500 ppm of water vapor.
- the ratio H 2 / H 2 O must be at least 4.
- the oxidation-reduction potential recommended in the state of the art for oxidizing the surface of the liquid zinc does not prevent the oxidation of the alloying elements contained in the steel such as the manganese, chromium, silicon, etc. These are commonly used in the production of so-called hard steels high yield strength (HLE).
- the recommended oxidation-reduction potential also causes excessive oxidation of the surface at the level of the wetting line inside the horn. This results in the formation of large clusters of zinc oxide (ZnO) which always end up detaching, usually unpredictably. This occurs when the viscous driving forces of the surface liquid zinc become greater than those of adhesion and surface tension with respect to the horn.
- the present invention aims to provide a solution to the problems posed in the state of the art and in particular related to the zinc oxidation process which is recommended.
- the present invention has the particular object of reducing to a minimum the zone in which the oxidation of liquid zinc and alloying elements of the sheet, with the exception of iron, is achieved, therefore the time corresponding oxidation, before the entry of the strip into the zinc bath.
- an injection of oxidizing gas for the liquid and non-oxidizing metal for iron is carried out in said second zone of said horn.
- This gas contains for example a mixture of H 2 O and H 2 , and / or of H 2 O and N 2 , and / or of CO 2 , CO, H 2 O, H 2 and / or O 2 .
- the difference in oxidizing power, expressed in equivalent P (H 2 ) / P (H 2 O), between said first zone, non-oxidizing, and said second zone, oxidizing is at least a factor 8 , that is to say [P (H 2 ) / P (H 2 O)] oxidant x 8 ⁇ [P (H 2 ) / P (H 2 O)] non-oxidizing .
- said first zone is reducing vis-à-vis the iron.
- Figure 1 shows schematically a sectional view of an installation type trompe galvanizing steel, according to the state of the art.
- Figure 2 schematically shows a sectional view of an installation type steel tubing horn, according to the present invention.
- the steel strip 1 enters the molten zinc bath 5 at a horn 2 and changes direction, in order to exit the bath again, at the level
- the atmosphere 7 in the horn 2 above the molten zinc bath 5 is oxidizing at least with respect to zinc, but not iron.
- Clusters of zinc oxide 4 are formed at the level of the wetting line 6 on the inner surface of the horn 2.
- Figure 2 shows the schematic galvanizing installation adapted to the features of the present invention.
- the present invention relates to a device for producing a bell or horn 2 in two distinct sections by means of a separation zone 8, the atmospheres 9,10 respectively corresponding to the two sections, said zone 1 and zone 2, being of nature different.
- Zone 1 corresponds to a non-oxidizing atmosphere 9
- zone 2 corresponds to an oxidizing atmosphere 10 vis-a-vis liquid zinc.
- the zone 2 has an injector 12 of oxidizing gas with typically a ratio H 2 / H 2 O, or equivalent (H 2 + CO) / (CO 2 + H 2 O), from 1 to 70, with an H 2 content ⁇ 1% by volume and a flow rate of between 5 and 50 Nm 3 / h.
- injector 12 of oxidizing gas typically a ratio H 2 / H 2 O, or equivalent (H 2 + CO) / (CO 2 + H 2 O), from 1 to 70, with an H 2 content ⁇ 1% by volume and a flow rate of between 5 and 50 Nm 3 / h.
- zone 2 is as short as possible.
- Zone 2 has a length typically between 10 and 2000 mm and advantageously between 100 and 300 mm, in order to optimize the distribution of oxidizing gas over the width of the zone and to simultaneously minimize the oxidation time of the sheet.
- the oxidation time of the substrate is typically 0.1 to 0.2 seconds.
- the present invention thus makes it possible to obtain the oxidation of liquid zinc in zone 2 and at the same time to limit the oxidation time available for the sheet before entering the zinc bath, by the presence of a zone 1 non-oxidizing.
- the invention consists in reducing to a minimum the zone in which the intentional oxidation of zinc is carried out in order to reduce the undesired available oxidation time for the alloying elements contained in the sheet metal. steel.
- this reducing material makes it possible to limit as much as possible the adhesion of the boundary layer of the liquid metal to the tube, at the level of the wetting zone, by locally preventing the oxidation of zinc therein.
