Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for continuous tempering of strip steel according to the preamble of claim 1, a device suitable for carrying out the method according to claim 14 and 15 and to strip steel produced according to the method according to claim 28.
- the tempering of strip steel in a continuous process is a widely practiced method for influencing the strength properties of strip steel.
- the strip steel is first hardened in appropriate throughfeed devices by heating with subsequent cooling and then changed in toughness by tempering with subsequent cooling.
- the heat required for tempering both during hardening and tempering can be introduced into the strip steel in different ways, for example by inductive processes, conductive processes or also by passing the strip steel through hot baths or gas flames. How quickly the heat is introduced into the strip steel and how it can be removed from the strip steel when it cools down has a significant influence on the material properties of the strip steel.
- the structural changes and the speed of the heating or cooling processes result in many different possibilities for influencing the material properties of the steel strip. Carbon steels, for example, are frequently used as the material for such strip steel.
- Process control of tempering is of particular importance when it comes to imposing a high yield strength ratio on the strip steel with high strength at the same time.
- Such applications of corresponding strip steels arise, for example, when spring components are to be produced from these strip steels. It is known, for example from DE-PS 29 17 287 C2, to quickly heat a spring steel to, for example, 1100 degrees Celsius by means of high-frequency induction and to keep it in the austenite range for the shortest austenite-forming time. Then the spring steel is quenched in water or oil at a cooling rate above the critical cooling rate and the austenite structure of the steel is very finely adjusted, resulting in a structure with a non-uniform concentration of carbon that achieves high toughness during hardening.
- DE 43 40 568 proposes for the continuous quenching and tempering of steel wire to keep the steel wire at temperature at approximately the same heating and cooling speeds as in DE-PS 29 17 287 C2 until a complete conversion in austenite and then to thermoform the steel wire.
- the holding of the steel wire during tempering at a temperature below Ad and above 500 degrees Celsius is specified for a time which is said to be significantly longer than that specified in DE-PS 29 17 287 with 60 seconds.
- the invention according to claim 1 is based on a process for continuous tempering of strip steel, in which the strip steel is heated to a temperature above the A 3 temperature in a first heating station, the strip steel is then cooled and then heated to a tempering temperature in a second heating station and finally cooled down.
- a generic method is further developed by heating the steel strip in a first section of the first heating station with a heating gradient of at least 500 K / s, then in a second section of the first heating station with a heating gradient of at least 70 K / s to the temperature above the As temperature is heated and then essentially cooled back to room temperature in a cooling station with a cooling gradient of at least 300 K / s, the complete transformation of the structure with simultaneous dissolution of the.
- the steel strip is then tempered in a first section of the second heating station with a heating gradient of at least 200 K / s, then heated in a second section of the second heating station with a heating gradient of at least 70 K / s to the tempering temperature and held there briefly and then with a cooling gradient of at least 200 K / s essentially cooled back to room temperature, whereby the very rapid and only brief heating to the tempering temperature prevents the formed martensite needles from decaying, thereby forming a very fine-grained structure with a fine-needle martensite excretion in the strip steel ,
- the high heating and cooling gradients in particular in the first sections of the first heating station for hardening or the second heating station for tempering, mean that the desired structural condition of the steel strip is only formed to the extent that this is necessary for setting the strength properties is without undesirable structural components being able to form to
- the heating in the first heating station and the second heating station is carried out in the first sections and the second sections with different temperature gradients, the majority of the heating taking place in the first sections and essentially a temperature compensation in the second sections takes place within the strip steel, with a relatively small increase in temperature while at the same time maintaining the respective process temperatures in the foreground.
- the temperature changes act very abruptly on the steel strip and therefore give the structure only little time to develop secondary structure changes in addition to the intended change in the structural properties. All in all, this results in a very fine austenite structure, which forms a special structure with the subsequent very fine-needle martensite precipitation, which, at very high strength values, has an extremely large yield strength ratio of generally greater than 0.96.
- This structure shows metallographically similarities to a bainite structure, although this has a lower yield ratio.
- strip steels are particularly suitable for use as spring steels for structural purposes of highly stressed components.
- the heating gradients and cooling gradients used according to the invention are approximately one order of magnitude higher than previously known, as a result of which it is only possible to form or freeze the respective structural states. This enables the otherwise usual complete homogenization of the carbon in the austenite phase to be prevented.
- the heating gradient in the first section of the first heating station is at least 800, preferably 1000 to 1300 K / s and / or the heating gradient in the second section of the first heating station is at least 100. preferably 125 K / s and / or the cooling gradient after the first and / or the second heating station is 500, preferably 800-2800 K / s.
- the desired structural components can be formed even more precisely, or can be maintained during cooling, without the other structural components negatively influencing the strength properties or the yield point ratio.
- the temperature of the steel strip reached after passing through the first heating station is at least 50, preferably 100 K above the A 3 temperature. This takes into account the influence of the high heating speeds, by means of which the transformation points of the structure of the strip steel shift towards higher temperatures with increasing heating speed or shorter heating time. This is the only way to ensure that, despite the high temperature changes in the steel strip, the desired structure can be formed at all.
- the tempering temperature of the steel strip is between 300 and 700 ° C. In this way, in particular, the decay of the martensite can be controlled to the desired extent.
- the steel strip is tempered directly after hardening and in the same pass. This avoids complex intermediate storage of the steel strip, be it by winding it up or guiding the steel strip in storage devices in the meantime.
- An essential property of the method according to the invention is that the very fine austenite structure that forms in the strip steel with the fine-needle martensite precipitation, while at the same time avoiding complete homogenization of the carbon in austenite, a high yield strength ratio of the strip steel in the range of greater than or equal to 0.96 without losses which allows stretch properties.
- This makes it possible, for example, to cold-form the steel strip into corresponding structural components, which can be carried out much more easily and without a major change in the strength properties of the structural component than in the otherwise usual hot forming.
- the first section of the first and / or the second heating station has a shorter passage length for the steel strip than the associated second section of the first and / or the second heating station.
- the total heating power of the respective heating station acts on the strip steel in the respective first section of the first and / or the second heating station.
- a temperature is very abruptly impressed on the structure, which essentially only causes the desired change in structure and does not or does not permit secondary processes such as diffusion processes caused by the elevated temperature to a significant extent.
- the process according to the invention can be operated with the strip steel passing through the heating stations and cooling stations of at least 25 m / min, preferably at least 150 m / min.
- the throughput of the tempering process is considerably higher than known processes which work at speeds of about 2 to 10 m / min, and the exposure time of the steel strip in the respective heating and cooling zones is relatively low. Allowed together with the high temperature gradients this is a very precisely defined structural change in the steel strip. For example, heating times in the first sections of the heating stations of less than 1 second can be used.
- the invention according to claim 14 relates to a first device for carrying out the method according to claim 1, in which the strip steel is heated by means of inductive heating and / or by means of gas flames and / or by means of salt contact heating. Such heating methods are known in principle and will therefore not be explained further here.
- the invention according to claim 15 then relates to a second device for carrying out the method according to claim 1, in which the strip steel is heated by means of conductive heating via contact rollers.
- Conductive heating is also fundamentally known in the case of tempering processes, but can be significantly modified when used in the process according to the invention.
- the distance between the mutually associated, oppositely polarized contact rollers in the second section of the first and / or second heating station is significantly greater than the distance between the mutually associated, oppositely polarized contact rollers in the respective first section. Since the conductive heating of the strip steel depends on the one hand on the amount of current coupled in, but on the other hand on the length of this coupled current through the strip steel, the heating in these can be adjusted by adjusting the ratio of the amount of current coupled to the distance between the corresponding, oppositely polarized contact rollers Sections can be affected very easily.
- the heating gradient can also be set as a function of the distance between the associated, oppositely polarized contact rollers by means of lower coupled-in amounts of current.
- the amount of current coupled into the steel strip for heating via the contact rollers is at least 1000 A, preferably 6000 A.
- the high heating gradients can be achieved, which make the process according to the invention possible.
- the heating power introduced into the steel strip via the contact rollers is kept constant via a power control.
- the power control can be achieved by means of a phase gating control, with the network perturbations being minimized by means of mechanical voltage tracking (rotary transformer). This eliminates the need for external compensation on the network side, which further increases the cost-effectiveness of the device.
- the strip steel to be cooled by ring showers arranged in the region of the strip run. Ring showers of this type are generally known and are therefore not to be explained further here.
- the ring showers can very specifically apply water, gas or oil to the surface of the steel strip for cooling, which, because of the relatively small cross-sectional dimensions of the steel strip, allow the heat to be removed from the steel strip very quickly. It can be advantageous here if the direction of radiation of the nozzles of the ring showers is directed in the direction of passage of the strip steel, since this results in an improved flow of the cooling medium around the strip steel and thus an improved heat transfer from the strip steel into the cooling medium.
- drive units for conveying the strip steel through the device are arranged before and after the respective heating stations, the drive units in particular also being able to compensate for different strip speeds of the strip steel by keeping the throughput speed of the strip steel constant.
- the throughput speed and thus the exposure time of the strip steel can be controlled even when the strip steel elongations are unavoidable due to the temperature expansion, and thus the microstructure and the temperature gradients are kept within the tolerances.
- the invention further relates to a strip steel according to claim 28, which is produced by the method according to claim 1.
- Typical carbon steels in particular carbon steels with a carbon content of between 0.35 and 1.35%, in particular also C 35 to Ck 101, can advantageously be processed as material for such a steel strip, in which the microstructure formation makes the desired material characteristic values achievable.
- the strip steel can also contain individual or some alloy components such as in particular Si between 0.05 and 2.35%, Mn between 0.22 and 3.05%, P between 0.004 and 0.055%, S between 0.001 and 0.050%, Al between 0.001 and 0.100%, Cr between 0.03 and 2.85%, Ni between 0.02 and 1.60% and / or Cu between 0.02 and 0.45%, by means of which a further targeted Structure formation or other material properties of the steel strip can be influenced.
- individual or some alloy components such as in particular Si between 0.05 and 2.35%, Mn between 0.22 and 3.05%, P between 0.004 and 0.055%, S between 0.001 and 0.050%, Al between 0.001 and 0.100%, Cr between 0.03 and 2.85%, Ni between 0.02 and 1.60% and / or Cu between 0.02 and 0.45%, by means of which a further targeted Structure formation or other material properties of the steel strip can be influenced.
- the strip steel is processed in strip thicknesses between 0.20 and 5.00 mm and / or strip widths between 2.00 and 725.00 mm, in a further embodiment the strip steel can be produced by rolling and is flat or with a profile cross section can be trained. This is of particular advantage, for example, if the strip steel can be used as spring steel, since this enables the spring properties to be taken into account in the cross-sectional shape without subsequent mechanical processing.
- both the method described here and the device and the strip steel produced in this way can undergo changes in a variety of ways within the scope of the teaching of the invention without departing from the teaching of the invention.
- the use of the steel strip is not limited to structural components used in the spring, and the specified temperature gradients and other specified dimensions and values can be varied in many ways in order to achieve special microstructures depending on the materials processed in the steel strip and any alloy components.
- the invention further comprises a strip steel in which the hardness of individual areas can be designed differently within the cross section of the strip steel.
- a strip steel in which the hardness of individual areas can be designed differently within the cross section of the strip steel.
- Such a non-uniform distribution of the hardness of the strip steel within the cross-section can be used specifically to adapt the material properties to the loads acting on the strip steel in later use and thus to combine different material properties such as great hardness and good toughness of individual sections of the cross-section of the strip steel , In particular, when the strip steel is produced by rolling technology, this can be done with only slight changes in the method and thus also with only low costs.
- the strip steel has a non-uniform, preferably an asymmetrical cross-section.
- a non-uniform cross section can be used constructively for the later use of the steel strip be used to place different amounts of material in the individual cross-sectional areas of the strip steel and in a different embodiment to impress different amounts of hardness on these different amounts of material. This makes it possible to further improve the load-bearing design of the steel strip.
- the hardness of individual areas is distributed along at least one hardness gradient within the non-uniform cross section of the strip steel.
- a hardness gradient can be formed, for example, by an essentially continuous change in hardness, of course, other configurations of the hardness gradient are also conceivable.
- edge elements for reinforcing the edges of skis, snowboards, sliding boards or the like can be produced from the strip steel.
- edge elements also commonly referred to as ski edges, are required in large quantities for the production of skis, snowboards, sliding boards or the like and serve to improve the durability of the skis, since a corresponding impact-resistant and abrasion-resistant edge is formed in the edge regions with these edge elements Life of the skis or the like is significantly increased.
- the cross section of the band steel has a thickened region of greater hardness, which at least in sections is located on the outside when the edge element is installed, and a web-like region of lower hardness when the edge element is installed.
- the outer parts of the edge element which are subject to impact or abrasion are made very durable, and at the same time the web-like area which is required for fastening the edge elements in the ski or the like is, on the one hand, correspondingly tough and, moreover, can be stamped particularly well process well.
- a particularly favorable development of the hardness curve results if the gradient of the hardness curve between the thickened region of greater hardness and the web-like region of lower hardness runs essentially continuously, preferably essentially linearly.
- a particularly good material behavior of such a strip steel results if the yield point ratio is in the range between 80% and 95%, preferably between 84% and 88%.
- the contact rollers are profiled in accordance with the non-uniform cross-sectional shape of the steel strip when the strip steel is heated. As a result, a corresponding coupling of the current and thus a corresponding heating can optionally take place in all areas of the strip steel.
- the contact rollers which are profiled essentially in accordance with the non-uniform cross-sectional shape of the strip steel, contact only partial regions of the surface of the strip steel and cause the strip steel to be heated there.
- the only partial introduction of the corresponding current into the strip steel ensures, on the one hand, that the strip steel is heated only there and that a temperature gradient formed along a gradient occurs in the areas of the strip steel that are not touched by the contact rollers.
- the distribution of hardness within the cross section can then advantageously be adjusted by compensating processes within the strip steel.
- the contact rollers it is possible to use the cooling effect in the contact between the contact rollers and the corresponding areas of the steel strip in a targeted manner so that the desired distribution of hardness within the cross section is established.
- the contact between the contact rollers and the steel strip can essentially determine the hardness profile within the cross section.
- the drawing shows a particularly preferred embodiment of the device according to the invention for carrying out the method according to claim 1. Show it:
- Figure 1 - a very schematic representation of the basic structure of a

- FIG. 1 shows a very schematic representation of the structure of a device for carrying out the remuneration process according to the invention, from which the basic process sequence can also be seen.
- the strip steel 1, which on a decoiler 3 e.g. is provided wound up as a coil, is fed via a drive unit 5 at room temperature T 20 ° C. to a first heating station 6, in which the hardening is carried out as the first stage of the tempering processing.
- a quantity of current is coupled into the steel strip 1 via a roller arrangement of contact rollers 8, 9, 10, which is described in more detail, and which provides an electrical supply device 14 (not shown).
- the rollers are connected to the electrical supply device 14 such that the contact roller 9 is at an electrical potential and with the rollers 8 and 10, which are spaced apart from this roller and are at the other electrical potential, an electrical circuit via the steel strip 1 form.
- a current passage is produced within the steel strip 1, with the result of an increase in temperature corresponding to the height of the current passage and the resistance of the steel strip 1.
- Such a generally known conductive heating of the steel strip 1 is modified here for the method according to the invention to the extent that the rollers 8 in the inlet area of the first section 11 of the heating stations 6, 7, which is delimited by the spaced rollers 8, 9, are carried out at least twice are.
- This ensures that the pressure surface required to transmit the necessary high electrical power from each contact roller 8 to the steel strip 1 before doubling or multiplying with an arrangement of more than 2 roles.
- This has the effect that the otherwise required high pressure forces between the contact rollers 8 and steel strip 1 can be significantly reduced, so that a mechanical influence on the steel strip 1 by the pressure forces can be significantly reduced or even completely prevented. Due to the thermal activation of the steel strip 1, this mechanical influencing of the steel strip 1 would otherwise lead to undesirable or not reliably controllable structural changes in the steel strip 1, which would adversely affect the material properties.
- the distance of the contact rollers 8 to the contact roller. 9 is significantly less than the distance of the contact roller 10 from the contact roller 9. This and the electrical power transmitted between the contact rollers 8 and 9 ensure that a large part of the heating of the steel strip 1 within the heating station 6 in the first section 11 between the contact rollers 8 and the contact roller 9, so that the temperature of the steel strip 1 approximately in the region of the contact roller 9 z. B. is 900 degrees Celsius.
- the strip steel 1 will therefore be heated in a very short time, particularly if the throughput speeds that can be achieved in the device are observed in the first section 11 of the heating station 6, for example in the range below one second that the strip steel for the passage through the first section 11 needed.
- the structure of the steel strip 1 is changed almost abruptly, with the strip steel 1 heating further to a temperature greater than the A 3 temperature of the material used in the second section 12 of the heating station 6, resulting in a further transformation of the structure.
- the temperature of the steel strip 1 is also made more uniform, on the one hand by the longer throughput time through this second section 12, and on the other hand by the lower electrical power coupled into this section 12.
- This lower electrical coupled-in power also results from the longer running length of the current between the contact rollers 9 and 10 in this second section 12. If, for example, the A 3 temperature of a strip steel is settled at approximately 1050 degrees Celsius, the strip steel can change according to strong warming the first section 11 in the second section 12 further slowly and evenly. This creates the structure in the steel strip further equalized, whereby a further improvement in the strength properties of the steel strip 1 can be achieved.
- the steel strip 1 After exiting the heating station 6, the steel strip 1 is passed through a cooling station 13, in which ring showers (not shown) spray the surface of the steel strip 1 with water, oil, gas or another cooling medium.
- ring showers (not shown) spray the surface of the steel strip 1 with water, oil, gas or another cooling medium.
- the nozzles of the ring showers can be directed towards the steel strip 1 in the running direction of the steel strip 1, so that a flow around the steel strip 1 is formed which is particularly suitable for heat transfer.
- Both the heating station 6 and the cooling station 13 can, as is only roughly indicated by the dashed border 15, be encapsulated in relation to the environment, in which case a protective gas can be introduced into this encapsulation, which separates the steel strip 1 from the ambient air in this area , As a result, reactions with the oxygen in the ambient air which otherwise occur on the surface of the strip steel 1 can be prevented, and at the same time diffusion processes in the strip steel 1 which run close to the edge and which can otherwise impair the quality of the strip steel 1 can be prevented.
- the temperature of the steel strip 1 is again approximately in the order of magnitude of the ambient temperature, indicated here by a specified temperature of approximately 40 degrees Celsius.
- a drive unit 5 is interposed, which can absorb the lengthening of the strip of the strip steel 1 and keeps the strip steel 1 tight.
- a heating station 7 is again provided, through which the steel strip 1 passes.
- This heating station 7 is basically constructed the same as the heating station 6 and therefore does not need to be explained again here.
- the electrical power applied to this heating station 7 is significantly lower than that of the access station 6, so that the temperatures which the steel strip 1 reaches when passing through this heating station 7 range of the tempering temperatures of a corresponding material of z. B. are about 500 degrees Celsius.
- a large part of the heating will take place in the first section 11 of the heating station 7, whereas in the second section 12 only a small amount of heating will be carried out while the temperature of the steel strip 1 is evened out.
- the cooling station 13 which is connected downstream of the heating station 7, corresponds to the cooling station 13 already described after the heating station 6. It is also conceivable that both the heating station 7 and the subsequent cooling station 13 are again arranged in a protective gas atmosphere by means of an encapsulation 15.
- a renewed drive unit 5 is provided which influences the strip tension of the strip steel 1 within the second heating station 7 and the cooling station 13.
- the strip steel 1 is then largely finished and can then be rewound into the coil in a reeling station 4.
- FIG. 2 the profiling of two contact rollers 8, 9 is shown in a form only shown schematically, which are used for the method-specific heating of a strip steel 1 formed as an edge element 16 with non-uniform cross-sectional areas.
- the edge element 16 has a thickened region 17, referred to as the head, which, in the installed state, is placed on the outside of a ski or the like and later comes into contact with the surroundings.
- This cross-sectional area should be as hard as possible to avoid premature wear of the ski.
- Another cross-sectional area 18, usually referred to as a web is essentially flat in the manner of a web and is used to fasten the edge element 16 within the ski.
- this web-like area 18 of the edge element 16 open recesses are usually made, which bring about an additional fastening within the ski cross-section. Since these recesses are usually punched, the hardness of the edge element 16 in this cross-sectional area 18 must not be too high in order to avoid excessive stress on the punching tools.
- the contact between the edge element 16 and the contact roller 8, 9 in a targeted manner only in this area 19 ensures that after the strip steel 1 has passed through the different contact rollers 8, 9 10 here a softer structure is specifically produced than in the thickened head 17 of the edge element 16. This takes place, on the one hand, through the compensating processes within the cross section of the edge element 16 and, on the other hand, through the cooling of the edge element 16 when it comes into contact with the much cooler contact rollers 8, 9.
