Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for descaling a metal strip, in particular a hot rolled strip of normal steel or a hot or cold rolled strip of austenitic or ferritic stainless steel, in which the metal strip is guided in a conveying direction through at least one plasma descaling device, in which he Plasma descaling is subjected. Furthermore, the invention relates to a device for descaling a metal strip.
  • the EP 0 879 897 A1 discloses a plasma descaling; after carrying out the same, the belt to be removed is passed through a cooling device.
  • the cooling device comprises two cooling rollers.
  • the pickling of steel strip is carried out in continuous lines, the process part of which can have a very long length depending on the strip speed. Such systems therefore require very high investments.
  • the pickling process also requires a great deal of energy and wastewater disposal and regeneration of hydrochloric acid, which is commonly used in mild steel.
  • the strip passes between electrodes arranged above and below the strip through a vacuum chamber.
  • the plasma is located between the electrodes and the tape surface on both sides of the tape.
  • the effect of the plasma acting on the scale is the removal of the oxides on the strip surface, which is associated with an increase in the temperature of the strip; This can be very disadvantageous.
  • the increase in temperature may result in the formation of an oxide film on the belt surface as the descaled belt exits the vacuum in air, which is not permitted for further processing such as cold rolling or direct hot strip processing.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to provide a method and an associated device for descaling a metal strip, with which it is possible to achieve a quality increase in the production of the metal strip, in particular by preventing oxidation processes, without the microstructure of the metal strip negative influence.
  • the metal strip is subjected to plasma descaling at least twice, each time with subsequent controlled cooling.

  • the metal strip dives only very briefly into the coating metal.
  • the plasma descaling system can be coupled to a continuous furnace for hot dip galvanizing of hot-rolled steel strip, wherein on the outlet side of Plasmaentzu matterssstrom a vacuum lock and on the inlet side of the continuous furnace furnace sluice of conventional design can be located, which are connected to each other gas-tight.
