Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Wärmebehandlung berührungslos geführter metallischer Bänder im absteigenden Durchlauf, insbesondere zum Betrieb unter Schutzgas geringer Dichte, wie beispielsweise ein Stickstoff/Wasserstoff-Gemisch mit hohem Wasserstoff-Anteil.The invention relates to a device for heat treatment of contactless guided metallic bands in the descending passage, in particular for operation under inert gas of low density, such as a nitrogen / hydrogen mixture with a high hydrogen content.
Durchlaufanlagen spielen bei der Wärmebehandlung von Bändern sowohl aus Eisenals auch aus Nichteisenmetall-Legierungen, wie z. B. Kupferlegierungen, eine große Rolle. Bei Bändern, deren Oberfläche während der Wärmebehandlung oxidieren kann, wird die Durchlaufwärmebehandlung üblicherweise unter Schutzgas durchgeführt. Dieses Schutzgas kann zum größten Teil aus Stickstoff bestehen. Für einige Wärmebehandlungsvorgänge ist es aber sinnvoll, Schutzgas mit einem hohen Wasserstoffanteil oder sogar reinen Wasserstoff zu verwenden.Continuous systems play in the heat treatment of strips of both iron and non-ferrous metal alloys, such as. As copper alloys, a major role. For tapes whose surface can oxidize during the heat treatment, the continuous heat treatment is usually carried out under protective gas. This shielding gas can for the most part consist of nitrogen. For some heat treatment processes, it makes sense to use inert gas with a high hydrogen content or even pure hydrogen.
Die Verwendung von reinem Wasserstoff als Schutzgas bietet den Vorteil einer besseren Wärmeübertragung, so dass mit gleicher Anlagenlänge wie bei Stickstoff ein wesentlich höherer Durchsatz erzielt werden kann.The use of pure hydrogen as inert gas offers the advantage of better heat transfer, so that with the same plant length as in nitrogen, a significantly higher throughput can be achieved.
Da an die Qualität der Oberfläche von Bändern sowohl aus Eisenlegierungen als auch aus Nichteisenmetall-Legierungen in der Regel hohe Anforderungen gestellt werden, ist es der moderne Stand der Technik, diese Bänder berührungsfrei zu führen. Die berührungsfreie Führung wird dadurch erreicht, dass das Band in einem Turmofen vertikal hängt oder in einem Horizontalofen eine Seillinie annimmt, die sich unter Wirkung der Schwerkraft einstellt.Since the quality of the surface of strips made of both iron alloys and non-ferrous metal alloys usually high demands are made, it is the modern state of the art to guide these bands without contact. The non-contact guidance is achieved by hanging the belt vertically in a tower furnace or in a horizontal furnace adopting a rope line which sets under the action of gravity.
Nachteilig ist insbesondere bei der Seillinie, dass bei größeren Bandlängen im Wärmebehandlungsteil sowohl ein hoher Banddurchhang als auch eine hohe Bandspannung auftreten. Dadurch ist der Durchsatz derartiger Anlagen sehr begrenzt.A disadvantage, in particular in the rope line, that with larger strip lengths in the heat treatment part both a high belt sag and a high belt tension occur. As a result, the throughput of such systems is very limited.
Um diese Nachteile zu vermeiden, wurden Anlagen mit horizontaler Bandführung entwickelt, wobei das Band im Behandlungsteil mittels Schwebedüsen in der horizontalen Lage stabilisiert und getragen wird. Solche Anlagen setzen aber voraus, dass eine ausreichend hohe Tragkraft erzielt werden kann, was bei hohen Temperaturen, Schutzgas geringer Dichte, wie z. B. einem Stickstoff/Wasserstoff-Gemisch mit hohem Wasserstoffanteil, und schweren Bändern große Probleme bereitet. Daher ist man vielfach, wenn man sich für die vorteilhafte Verwendung eines Schutzgases mit hohem Wasserstoffanteil entschieden hat, dazu gezwungen, die vorerwähnten Turmofenanlagen oder Anlagen mit Bandführung nach einer Seillinie zu verwenden.In order to avoid these disadvantages, systems with horizontal tape guide were developed, wherein the band is stabilized and worn in the treatment part by means of floating nozzles in the horizontal position. However, such systems require that a sufficiently high load capacity can be achieved, which at high temperatures, protective gas of low density, such as. As a nitrogen / hydrogen mixture with a high hydrogen content, and heavy bands causes great problems. Therefore, many have decided to use the above-mentioned tower kiln plants or belt-guided lines after a rope line, if they have opted for the advantageous use of a high-hydrogen shielding gas.

Weiterhin sind Düsensysteme zur Wärmebehandlung des Gases mittels erzwungener Konvektion und zur Stabilisierung der Bandlage durch Beblasen des Bandes vorgesehen: am unteren Ende des absteigenden Bandlaufes ist ein Sperrfluid vorgesehen, wo das Band - von oben betrachtet - konkav gekrümmt, nämlich um eine Rolle geführt ist und dann nach oben ansteigt.JP-A-11 236 624 also shows a tower furnace with vertical passage of the belts in a gas atmosphere with a housing and a roller-bounded heat treatment part comprising a heating part and a cooling part. Furthermore, nozzle systems for heat treatment of the gas by means of forced convection and to stabilize the tape layer by blowing the tape provided: at the lower end of the descending tape run a barrier fluid is provided, where the tape - viewed from above - concave, namely is guided around a roll and then goes up.
Eine Vorrichtung zur Wärmebehandlung berührungslos geführter metallischer Bänder im absteigenden Durchlauf in einer Gasatmosphäre der im Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 angegebenen Gattung geht schließlich aus der JP-A-58 193 351, siehe Patent Abstracts of Japan, vol. 008 No. 030 (6-209), hervor und weist ein Gehäuse, einen durch Rollen eingegrenzten Wärmebehandlungsteil aus einem Erwärmungsteil und einem Kühlteil, Düsensysteme zur Wärmebehandlung des Gases mittels erzwungener Konvektion und zur Stabilisierung der Bandlage durch Beblasen des Bandes und ein Bad aus einem Sperrfluid am unteren Ende des ansteigenden Bandlaufs auf, wo das Band - von oben betrachtet -konkav gekrümmt ist; aus dem Bad steigt das Band zur hinteren, den Wärmebehandlungsteil eingrenzenden Rolle auf.Finally, a device for the heat treatment of contactless guided metallic strips in the descending passage in a gas atmosphere of the type specified in the preamble of
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Vorrichtung zu schaffen, welche die Vorteile der Bandführung mittels stabilisierenden Schwebedüsen mit den Vorteilen von Turmofenanlagen und Anlagen mit Führung des Bandes nach einer Seillinie vereint, ohne die Nachteile der bekannten Anlage in Kauf nehmen zu müssen.The object of the invention is to provide a device which combines the advantages of tape guide by means of stabilizing floating nozzles with the advantages of tower furnace systems and systems with leadership of the tape to a rope line without having to accept the disadvantages of the known system in purchasing.
Dies wird durch die Kombination der im kennzeichnenden Teil des Hauptanspruchs aufgeführten Merkmale erreicht.This is achieved by the combination of the features listed in the characterizing part of the main claim.
Zweckmäßige Ausführungsformen werden durch die Unteransprüche definiert.Advantageous embodiments are defined by the subclaims.

In Figur 1 ist eine Ausführung der Vorrichtung mit vertikalem Bandlauf hinter der Rolle 2 dargestellt. Bei dieser Vorrichtung ist der gesamte Behandlungsteil einschließlich der Rolle 2 von einem schutzgasdichten Gehäuse 6 umgeben. Durch dieses Gehäuse 6 tritt das Band durch die schematisch dargestellte Abdichteinrichtung 7 ein. Diese Einrichtung ist, dem Stand der Technik entsprechend, z. B. als Rollenabdichtung ausgeführt und bedarf keiner weiteren Erläuterung.In Figure 1, an embodiment of the device with vertical tape behind the
Im absteigenden Bandlauf durchläuft das Band 1 zunächst den Erwärmungsteil 4 und anschließend den ersten Bereich des Kühlteils 5. Beiderseits des Bandes 1 befinden sich die stabilisierenden Beblasungsdüsensysteme 8l, 8r für den Erwärmungsteil und 91 und 9r für den Kühlteil.In the descending strip, the
Am unteren Ende hat das Band einen Verlauf mit - von oben betrachtet - konkaver Krümmung. Dieser Verlauf befindet sich in einem Fluid 12, z. B. Wasser. Dieses Fluid 12, in der Regel eine geeignete Flüssigkeit, grenzt zugleich den Innenraum der Einhausung 6 gegen die Außenatmosphäre ab und trennt somit das Schutzgas von der Umgebungsluft.At the bottom of the tape has a course with - viewed from above - concave curvature. This course is in a
In dem Fluidbecken befinden sich sowohl auf der Innenkrümmung als auch auf der Außenkrümmung Düsensysteme 9i, 9a, die ähnlich wie die in der Gasatmosphäre arbeitenden Systeme 8 und 9 wirken, aber speziell auf den Betrieb mit dem Sperrfluid abgestimmt und entworfen sind und das Fluid, insbesondere Wasser, auf das Band 1 richten. Durch diese Fluiddüsen 9i, 9a werden auf das Band Stabilisierungskräfte ausgeübt, die auch dünne Bänder 1, die anderenfalls verlaufen würden, in der gewünschten konkaven Form führen. In einer besonders vorteilhaften Ausführungsform wirken diese Düsensysteme auch ähnlich wie eine Bandmittensteuerung lagestabilisierend in Richtung quer zum Bandlauf. Es ist aber auch möglich, solche Stabilisierungsdüsen nur im Bereich der vertikalen Schenkel des Bandlaufs, die den konkav gekrümmten Bereich eingrenzen, anzuordnen, so dass der Bandlauf dazwischen sich frei einstellen kann und nur die Lage im tiefsten Bereich durch den Sensor 10 überwacht wird.In the fluid basin, both on the inner curve and on the outer
Die Lage des Bandlaufs wird im Tiefpunkt der konkaven Krümmung mittels mindestens eines Sensors 10 erfasst und kontrolliert, so dass die gewünschte Form unter allen Betriebsbedingungen erhalten bleibt. In einer Flüssigkeit als Sperrfluid arbeitet diese Höhenlageerfassung des Bandes vorteilhaft nach dem Echolotprinzip es ist aber ein Radar-Prinzip mit Mikrowellen möglich.The position of the tape run is detected and controlled in the low point of the concave curvature by means of at least one
Weitere Details eines typischen Bandlaufs der Vorrichtung nach der Erfindung zeigt Figur 2. Die Abdichtung der Vorrichtung gegenüber der Außenatmosphäre erfolgt am Bandeinlauf durch eine Doppelrollenabdichtung 41. Die Rollenkombination 40 dient dem Abbau des Bandzuges von dem höheren Zug vor der Rollenkombination 40 auf den niedrigeren Zug im Wärmebehandlungsteil. In der ersten Umlenkung des Bandlaufs ist eine Steuerrolle 42 angeordnet. Vor dieser Steuerrolle 42 befindet sich ein Sensor zur Erfassung der Bandlage und hinter dieser Steuerrolle 42 eine weitere Andruckrolle kleineren Durchmessers, die auch bei geringem Bandzug ein Anliegen des Bandes 1 an der Umlenkrolle 42 sicherstellt.FIG. 2 shows further details of a typical belt run of the device according to the invention. The device is sealed against the outside atmosphere by a
Unterhalb der zweiten Umlenkrolle 2, die den Behandlungsbereich des Bandes eingrenzt, befindet sich eine Verschlusseinrichtung 43, die aus zwei senkrecht zum Band beweglichen Verschlussorganen besteht. Mit Hilfe dieser Verschlusseinrichtung 43 wird durch die durch den vorteilhaft wassergekühlten und mit Wärmeisolation versehenen Einlaufhals 44 gebildete Bandeintrittsöffnung in den Erwärmungsteil 4, der auch bei erheblicher Temperatur von z. B. ca. 950 °C betrieben werden kann, verschlossen, so dass keine Wärme beim Bandstillstand aus der Wärmebehandlungsteil 4 nach oben austreten kann und dort möglicherweise zu einer Beschädigung der Umlenkrolle 42 bzw. deren Beschichtung führt.Below the
Zwischen Umlenkrolle 42 und Bandeintritt 7 in den Wärmebehandlungsteil 4 kann noch eine Kühlvorrichtung (nicht gezeichnet) vorgesehen werden, die unzulässig hohe Rollentemperaturen ausschließt. Eine solche Kühleinrichtung kann z. B. durch Beblasen des Bandes mit Schutzgas niedriger Temperatur arbeiten. Es kann auch vorteilhaft sein, die Rollenkombination 40 zum Abbau des Bandzuges auf den niedrigen Wert im Behandlungsteil unmittelbar vor dem Eintritt des Bandes in diesen anzuordnen, so dass die Rolle 2 sich erübrigt.Between
Der Wärmebehandlungsteil 4 und der darunter befindliche erste Bereich 5 des Kühlteils sind in Figur 2 durch das Bezugszeichen 45 angedeutet Aus dem Kühlteil 5 wird das Band 1 durch einen schutzgasdichten Kanal, der in den Flüssigkeitsverschluss 12 eintaucht, geführt. Das in Richtung der Rolle 3 laufende Band wird durch Abquetschrollen 11 geführt und das danach noch am Band anhaftende Fluid 12, in der Regel Wasser, mit dem Konvektionstrockner 13, der beheizt sein kann, getrocknet.The
Figur 3 zeigt als Beispiel nähere Details der Ausführungsform mit vertikalem Bandlauf. In der Figur sind drei übereinander geordnete Erwärmungszonen 4 und eine unter diesen Erwärmungszonen 4 angebrachte Kühlzone 5 dargestellt. Die Strömungsführungen der drei Erwärmungszonen 4 und der darunter befindlichen Kühlzone 5 haben in dem in Figur 3 dargestellten Längsschnitt quer zum Bandlauf die Form eines U. Im Beispiel der Figur 3 weisen die Schenkel des U nach unten. Es ist aber auch die umgekehrte Anordnung, also nach oben weisende U-Schenkel. möglich.Figure 3 shows by way of example further details of the vertical tape running embodiment. In the figure, three superimposed
Dabei sind auf der Außenseite des dem Band 1 zugewandten Schenkels des U die stabilisierenden Düsenfelder 23 angeordnet. Im von den Schenkeln des U umschlossenen Raum befinden sich in den Erwärmungszonen 4 Strahlheizrohre 25 und in der Kühlzone 5 Kühler 28, insbesondere Wärmetauscher. Zum Strömungsantrieb dienen Radialventilatoren 21, die mittels Stopfen, die mit Isoliermaterial gefüllt sind, in die Außenwand eingesetzt sind. Die Strömungsgehäuse 20 sind dabei über kronenartige Gebilde 22 mit der Tragkonstruktion des Ventilators 21 und darüber wiederum mit der Tragkonstruktion des Außengehäuses 6 verbunden. Die Kraftübertragung erfolgt an den Spitzen der Kronenzacken.In this case, the stabilizing
Die Ausführung dieser Befestigung in Form von Kronen stellt sicher, dass durch Wärmespannungen und Wärmedehnungen keine Beulen, Risse und dergleichen Schwierigkeiten auftreten können.The execution of this attachment in the form of crowns ensures that thermal stresses and thermal expansion no bumps, cracks and the like can occur difficulties.
Die Abgrenzung der Zonen voneinander wird im Erwärmungsteil mittels Trapezblechböden 26 vorgenommen. Bei dem ersten Boden 26 befindet sich unterhalb dieses Trapezbleches noch eine Lage Isolierwerkstoff 27, so dass zwischen der ersten und der zweiten Zone ein Temperaturunterschied eingestellt und aufrecht erhalten werden kann. Diese Ausführung des Zwischenbodens 26 in Verbindung mit Wärmeisolierung 27 ist natürlich zwischen allen Zonen möglich.The delimitation of the zones from each other is carried out in the heating part by means of trapezoidal
Bei Vorrichtungen zum Betrieb bei hohen Temperaturen, z. B. oberhalb 800 °C im Erwärmungsteil, und Schutzgas mit hohem Wasserstoffanteil ist der in Figur 4 dargestellte Wandaufbau besonders vorteilhaft. Die Außenhaut besteht aus einem gasdicht geschweißten Stahlblechgehäuse 30. An dessen Innenwand sind Haltestifte 31 für Lagen 32 von Wärmeisolationsmaterial, z. B. durch Aufschweißen, befestigt. Diese auf die Außenwand 30 aufgebrachten Lagen 32 bestehen aus Fasern mit hohem SiO2-Anteil, die zwar gute mechanische Eigenschaften aufweisen, aber bei hohen Temperaturen oberhalb ca. 800 °C und Wasserstoffatmosphäre zum Zerfall neigen, da SiO2 zu SiO reduziert wird. Um einen intensiven Kontakt mit der Wasserstoffatmosphäre zu vermeiden, insbesondere aber um das Eindringen von heißem Wasserstoffgas in diese Lagen zu reduzieren, ist auf diese Lage 32 eine Folie 33 aus hochhitzebeständigem Werkstoff, z. B. einer Nickel-Chromlegierung aufgelegt. Auf diese Folie 33 werden dann weitere Lagen 34 aus mechanisch weniger fester, aber gegen Wasserstoff auch bei hoher Temperatur beständiger und erheblich teurerer, Al2O3-Faser aufgelegt.In devices for operation at high temperatures, eg. B. above 800 ° C in the heating part, and protective gas with a high hydrogen content of the wall structure shown in Figure 4 is particularly advantageous. The outer skin consists of a gas-tight welded
Zur Abdeckung dient eine weitere Folie 33 aus hochhitzebeständigem Werkstoff, auf die als mechanischer Schutz relativ kleinformatige Blechelemente 35, vorzugsweise aus Lochblech, aufgelegt sind. Alle Lagen werden von Plättchen 36 gehalten, die auf die Stifte 31 aufgesteckt werden. Um die äußeren Faserlagen leicht auswechseln zu können, ist es zweckmäßig, solche Plättchen, vorzugsweise aus dünnem Blech gefertigt, auch als Zwischenbefestigung auf die erste Folienlage aufzubringen.To cover another
Wie man der obigen Beschreibung entnehmen kann, wird das Band 1 mit Prallstrahlen des Erwärmungs- bzw. Kühlfluides, insbesondere ein Gas, z.B. reiner Wasserstoff oder ein Wasserstoff/Stickstoffgemisch mit hohem Wasserstoffanteil, beblasen, wodurch eine flächenhafte Kraft auf das Band ausgeübt wird, die ähnlich einer Feder mit abnehmenden Abstand zwischen Band 1 und Düsenfeld zunimmt; dies führt zu einer lagestabilisierenden Wirkung auf das Band, wobei die Größe dieser Stabilisierungskraft von dem Staudruck des Beblasungsfluides im Düsenaustritt der Prallstrahlen abhängt.As can be seen from the above description, the
Der Abstand zwischen den zu beiden Seiten des Bandes 1 angeordneten Düsenfeldern im Wärmebehandlungsteil ist in den beiden Bereichen Erwärmung 4 und Kühlung 5 im Wesentlichen jeweils konstant, was bedeutet, dass die Abstandsänderung maximal ±10% beträgt.The distance between the arranged on both sides of the
Ein geeignetes Düsensystem zur Erzielung der gewünschten Wirkung wird in der EP 0 864 518 B1 beschrieben und hat in Bandlaufrichtung aufeinanderfolgende Düsenflächen mit Düsenöffnungen aus Rundlöchern und/oder Schlitzdüsen, wobei sich die Breite der Düsenflächen - gemessen parallel zur Bandlaufrichtung - über der Breite des Düsenfeldes - gemessen senkrecht zur Bandlaufrichtung - ändert. Die Düsenflächen sind mindestens teilweise an ihrem Umfang durch Schlitzdüsen eingefasst.A suitable nozzle system for achieving the desired effect is described in EP 0 864 518 B1 and has in the strip running direction successive nozzle surfaces with nozzle openings of round holes and / or slot dies, wherein the width of the nozzle surfaces - measured parallel to the strip running direction - over the width of the nozzle field - measured perpendicular to the tape direction - changes. The nozzle surfaces are at least partially bordered by slot nozzles at their periphery.
Dieses Stabilisierungsdüsensystem kann so ausgeführt und betrieben werden, dass das Band 1 durch das Düsensystem auch eine Stabilisierung quer zum Bandlauf erfährt, wobei diese Querstabilisierungswirkung im Bereich des Bandlaufs mit - von oben betrachtet - konkaver Krümmung besonders ausgeprägt ist.This stabilizing nozzle system can be designed and operated in such a way that the
Als Sperrfluid für den Bereich 12 kommt jedes geeignete Fluid in Frage, wobei bevorzugt mit einer Flüssigkeit gearbeitet wird. Eine geeignete Flüssigkeit kann unter Berücksichtigung der chemischen Verträglichkeit mit dem Werkstoff der metallischen Bänder ausgewählt werden.As a barrier fluid for the
Mit dieser Vorrichtung können sowohl Eisen- bzw. Stahlbänder als auch Bänder aus NE-Metallen behandelt werden.With this device, both iron and steel bands and bands of non-ferrous metals can be treated.
