Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for coating a metal strip by dipping, that is to say by continuous scrolling through a liquid metal.
  • the invention also relates to a device for implementing this method.
  • JP-A-2-8356 discloses a method and apparatus for coating a web of tempered steel by means of a liquid metal. We pass the band in a narrow channel traversed by the liquid metal on both sides of the band. The channel is fed by a separate reservoir comprising the liquid metal, coupled to a pump that creates a circulation movement in a closed circuit. The tank has a larger capacity than said channel. The liquid metal is filtered by a purification device before introducing it into said channel.
  • Galvanizing by dipping a steel strip generally comprises two main operations, namely annealing the strip and depositing the coating.
  • the corresponding installation therefore comprises two large parts, namely an oven annealing and a galvanizing tank.
  • annealing is to prepare the strip, in particular its surface, with a view to the following coating operation.
  • it ensures the recrystallization of hardened structure in the case of a cold rolled strip; it also operates, in all cases, cleaning and brightening the surface with an atmosphere suitable, generally reducing, comprising hydrogen and nitrogen.
  • conventional galvanizing involves passing a band of steel through a bath of molten zinc then, at the exit of this bath, to adjust the thickness the zinc layer by spinning with compressed air or nitrogen slats.
  • the strip is guided by several rollers, in particular a first roller, said bottom roller, entirely immersed in zinc, under which it passes before rising vertically towards the surface of the bath, and other rollers, called stabilizing, deflecting or guiding rollers, often partially or even totally immersed near the upper surface of the bath of liquid metal, intended to ensure the stabilization, possibly the flatness of the coated strip, before spinning.
  • rollers in particular a first roller, said bottom roller, entirely immersed in zinc, under which it passes before rising vertically towards the surface of the bath, and other rollers, called stabilizing, deflecting or guiding rollers, often partially or even totally immersed near the upper surface of the bath of liquid metal, intended to ensure the stabilization, possibly the flatness of the coated strip, before spinning.
  • rollers motorized or free, come into contact with the surface of the belt in movement and can thus cause surface defects. They must be frequently dismantled for inspection, repair or replacement as their condition significantly influences the quality of the zinc coating. As a result, frequent shutdown of the production line and significant loss of productivity.
  • the person skilled in the art is well aware of the difficulty of regulating and maintaining the composition of the coating metal. This is hardly ever a pure metal, but rather an alloy containing different elements in specific quantities but variables from one type to another, intended to improve the performance of coatings, as for example the additions of aluminum in galvanizing baths.
  • mattes that is to say aggregates of particles of compounds intermetallic compounds, formed inter alia by the dissolution of the extreme surface of steel strips by the liquid metal bath, also cause appearance defects well known, and should therefore be regularly eliminated. This results in losses of time and metal, which adversely affect the productivity and profitability of the processes conventional.
  • the object of the invention is to propose a method for coating a web tempered metal, which makes it possible to remedy the aforementioned drawbacks, in particular by removing all submerged rolls and ensuring a constant composition liquid metal in the coating zone.
  • it proposes a device for carrying out this method.
  • a method for coating a metal strip at quenched by means of a liquid metal in which said strip is passed through a volume of said liquid metal, is characterized in that said band is circulated in a thin channel, in that the liquid metal is introduced into said thin channel at less on both sides of the band, and in that a movement of circulating said liquid metal with respect to said band, inside said thin channel. It is found then that the coating is made by contact with the surface of the metal strip with a flow of liquid metal rather than a coating of said surface by immersion in a bath of liquid metal.
  • said thin liquid metal channel is fed from a source separate, constituted for example by a separate tank; such a separate tank is advantageously arranged higher than said thin channel, so as to ensure feeding at least partially by a gravimetric effect.
  • a source separate constituted for example by a separate tank; such a separate tank is advantageously arranged higher than said thin channel, so as to ensure feeding at least partially by a gravimetric effect.
  • the entire diet can also be provided by one or more pumps.
  • the liquid metal is subjected to at least one treatment before introducing it into said thin channel.
  • said treatment may include filtering the liquid metal before introducing it into the thin channel.
  • the chemical composition and / or the temperature of the liquid metal is measured at determined intervals, preferably continuously, the chemical composition and / or the temperature of the liquid metal and, if necessary, this chemical composition and / or this temperature is adjusted before introducing the liquid metal into said thin channel. It is thus possible to maintain less substantially constant these conditions governing the coating operation at dipped from the metal band.
  • the supply of said thin closed circuit channel avoids any contact of the liquid metal with the ambient air, and as a result any risk of alteration of the liquid metal, in particular by oxidation.
  • said thin channel is powered liquid metal under a pressure independently adjustable on each side of the band.
  • the feed pressure is regulated liquid metal, as the case may be, by varying the difference in level between the thin channel and the separate tank, or by changing the pressure provided by the pumps Power.
  • the speed of circulation of the liquid metal stream with respect to the band, inside said channel thin is between 0.1 m / s and 5 m / s.
  • a device for carrying out this method essentially comprises a thin channel, means for circulating the tape to be coated through said thin channel, as well as means for supplying said thin liquid metal channel and for create a circulation movement of the liquid metal with respect to the band, inside of the thin channel.
  • the section of the thin channel according to the invention is determined so as to allow the passage of the widest band to be covered, without the need for excessive liquid metal.
  • the width of the next thin channel the invention is generally between 1 m and 2 m. It goes without saying that this width could be increased or decreased depending on specific circumstances.
  • the height of the thin channel defines the thickness of the liquid metal layer in circulation, and therefore also influences the flow of liquid metal in the thin channel. This height is preferably less than 6 cm, and more preferably less than 3 cm, so as to be able to limit the flow of liquid metal in the thin channel.
  • the thin channel according to the invention may have a shape that is either flat or curved in particularly partially cylindrical. In the latter case, the curvature must be limited so as not to unnecessarily complicate the trajectory and guidance of the tape.
  • the tape to be coated flows through said channel under the action of the traction exerted by the drive systems of the coating line. Its trajectory is determined by guiding means, generally rollers, arranged outside the channel, upstream and downstream of it, so as not to damage the surface of the tape during the coating operation.
  • this distance is between 1 mm and 15 mm, depending on various parameters such as the speed and width of the band, the nature of the liquid metal, the length and / or shape of the path of the thin channel.
  • the thin channel according to the invention comprises, on the one hand, feed means liquid metal, and secondly means to create a circulation movement of the liquid metal with respect to the band, inside the thin channel.
  • Said supply means comprise at least one separate reservoir, a much larger capacity than the thin channel; this tank is connected to the thin channel by a supply circuit leading to means for introducing the metal liquid in the thin channel, on both sides of the band that circulates there.
  • These means of introduction can be constituted either by injectors arranged in at least one ends of the channel, or by injectors in the walls of the canal parallel to the plane of the band, either by a combination of these two types injectors.
  • the reservoir separated can be raised compared to the thin channel, or the supply circuit can have at least one pump.
  • the device also comprises means for control and adjustment of the temperature and / or composition of the liquid metal, means for adding fresh liquid metal as well as means for filtering the metal liquid before its introduction into the thin canal.
  • the channel is provided with sealing means, such as airlock at its ends, allowing passage of the band but preventing metal leakage liquid.
  • the channel can advantageously be integrated in a closed circuit, comprising also at least one feed tank, possibly raised, a circuit supply of the thin channel, an excess liquid metal recovery circuit, means for treating the liquid metal, and possibly at least one pump of circulation of the liquid metal.
  • the method and the device of the invention make it possible to coat a strip by immersion in a moving liquid metal stream of high velocities relative to the web. These speeds are higher than those resulting from the scrolling of the band in a bath of liquid metal at rest.
  • FIG. 1 represents a conventional device for galvanizing dipping a steel strip, integrated into a processing line.
  • a band coat 1 is treated in a continuous annealing furnace 2, from which it leaves by a trunk 3 to dive into a bath of molten zinc 4.
  • the strip 1 passes under a roll of bottom 5, completely immersed in the liquid zinc 4, then it is guided by 6 immersed stabilizing rollers near the upper surface of the bath of zinc 4, before leaving the zinc bath in a vertical path.
  • Excess zinc is dewatered by means of gas strips, generally air or nitrogen, under pressure 7.
  • the strip 1 then rises vertically up to an upper deflection roll 8, which is high enough for the zinc coating to solidify before reach it. Tape 1 then continues its way into the treatment line.
  • the strip to be coated 1 circulates through a zinc bath liquid at rest 4, and it is in direct contact with several submerged rollers 5, 6.
  • the strip to be coated 1 from a continuous annealing furnace (not shown), circulates through a thin channel 10 in which a stream of liquid metal 9 has been created.
  • the channel 10 is straight and slightly inclined upward, and the circulation of the metal liquid is provided by a pump 11.
  • the band 1 and the current of liquid metal 9 circulate in the ascending direction, indicated by arrows. of the sealing systems, not shown, are provided at the inlet and output of the band 1 in the channel 10.
  • FIG. 3 shows how it is possible to control, at least in part, the position of the band in a thin channel, according to the method of the invention.
  • a circulation movement of the liquid metal is created, for example molten zinc, in the channel 10, on either side of the strip 1.
  • This current flows preferably at high speed, and is inevitably accompanied by pressure gradients between the band 1 and the walls of the channel 10.
  • the paths hydraulic fluid that the liquid metal follows in channel 10 can be designed to create pressure differences between the faces of the band and thereby influence the position of the band in the channel. Indeed, even if they are of low amplitude, these pressure differences act on important surfaces, namely the surface both sides of the strip in the channel, and they can thus generate forces considerable.
  • FIG. 3a illustrates the simple case of a thin rectilinear channel 12, practically horizontal, in which the band 1 circulates equidistant from the two walls.
  • the 13 pressures on the underside of the strip are higher than those 14 on the upper side, to support the weight of tape 1 while now it in a centered position in the channel 12.
  • the channel 15 is in the form of a parabola, corresponding to the form called "chain” that takes naturally band 1 hanging freely between two upper rollers not shown.
  • Such a parabolic trajectory of the band 1 can be maintained by a control permanent speed of the band upstream and downstream of channel 15. It is also maintained by the pressures that the liquid metal exerts on the band; if the pressures 16 on the inner face are higher than those 17 on the face external, they are even able to compensate for traction in the band. In such a configuration of the channel, it is particularly easy to ensure the tightness of the channel, collecting the liquid metal overflowing at both ends of the channel for the reintroduce in the lower part, for example using pumps 18.
  • FIG. 3c shows a channel 15 of a shape close to that of the usual path of a strip 1 in a dip coating installation of the type illustrated in the In this configuration, the band 1, which undergoes the pull exerted by the line of treatment, is supported by the application of higher pressures 19 on the face internal than those exerted on the outer face.
  • band 1 can be guided in a controlled manner both at the inlet and the outlet of the canal, by means of pressure differentials 21, which advantageously replace, that is to say without contact, the guide rollers 6 of FIG.
  • the watertightness of the channel is assured with ease by collecting the metal excess liquid at both ends of the canal to reintroduce it into the lower, for example using a common pump 22.
  • the supply of the thin liquid metal channel is preferably provided by openings in the walls of the canal so as to distribute in a similar way as uniform as possible the pressures acting on the faces of the band.
  • Figure 4 shows various possible arrangements of these feed orifices in a portion of a channel wall 23.
  • the orifices can be either slits 24 parallel and / or perpendicular to the direction 25 of displacement of the strip (FIG 4a), or orifices, for example circular 26, arranged in lines parallel to the direction of movement of the the band (Fig. 4b), again orifices, for example circular holes 27, distributed regularly, for example in staggered rows, in the canal wall (Fig. 4c).
  • FIG. 5 illustrates various possible configurations of the liquid metal circuit, with a treatment unit, possibly combined with a raised outer tank.
  • a horizontal rectilinear channel 12 traversed by a band 1, is fed directly by means of a pump 28.
  • the liquid metal is recovered at the ends of the channel 12 and returned by the pump 28, first to a unit treatment 29 and then directly into the channel 12.
  • FIG. 5b also shows a horizontal rectilinear channel 12 traversed by a tape to be coated 1.
  • This channel 12 is fed by gravity from a raised tank 30 large capacity, while the excess liquid metal is recovered at ends of the channel 12 and returned, still by gravity, into a collection tank 32. From there, the liquid metal is then returned to the elevated tank 30 at by means of a pump 31.
  • a treatment unit 29 is placed between the reservoir 30 and the channel 12 and / or between the pump 31 and the reservoir 30.
  • Figure 5c The configuration of Figure 5c is similar to that of Figure 5a, with the difference that the channel 33 here marries the path of the band 1 in a coating line to conventional tempering.
  • the excess liquid metal is recovered at the ends elevated channel 33 and returned to the low point of this channel, through a pump 28 and a processing unit 29.
  • Figure 5d illustrates a layout, similar to that of Figure 5b, but where the channel 33 marries the path of the band 1 in a line of dipping coating conventional.
  • Channel 33 is fed directly at its low point by gravity, at from a raised tank 30 of large capacity; the excess liquid metal is recovered at the raised ends of the channel 33 and returned, also by gravity, in a collection tank 32. From this, the molten metal is returned to the raised tank 30 by means of a pump 31.
  • a treatment unit 29 is provided between the reservoir 30 and the channel 33, and / or between the pump 31 and the reservoir 30.
  • the present invention offers numerous advantages, both as regards the process itself and the quality of coated products.
  • the continuous circulation of the liquid metal between the coating channel and a Separate tank allows to process the liquid metal continuously.
  • mattes that is to say the particles of compounds intermetallic compounds that float in the liquid metal and may deposit on the bandaged. This elimination can be done by any appropriate method, such as filtering, decantation, centrifugation, etc., especially in the mentioned treatment unit upper.
  • the quality of the coating depends in particular on the reactivity between the metal of coating and the surface of the tape to be coated.
  • high-grade steels resistance to be galvanized for the automotive industry have a surface low reactivity to zinc; this results in a lack of wettability that can lead to serious coating defects.
  • the introduction of a significant relative speed, for example from 0.5 m / s to 1 m / s, between the strip and the liquid metal in the channel contributes to reducing the risk of sticking on the strip, particles suspended in the liquid metal. This effect is in addition to that of the matting removal operation mentioned above.
  • the method of the invention restores the symmetry between the two faces of the strip, because none of the two faces of the strip is now no longer in contact with rollers. The actual duration and the conditions of exposure of the two sides of the strip to the liquid metal are identical.
  • the device of the invention is much simpler than conventional devices dip galvanizing. It requires a smaller amount of liquid metal, it offers greater operational flexibility and allows you to obtain products coated with better quality. Finally, it can integrate, without significant difficulty, in an existing treatment line, as shown in Figure 3c.
