Definitions
- the invention relates to a process for the hot dip coating of a metal strip, in particular a steel strip, in which the metal strip is fed through a furnace and a roll chamber subsequent to the conveying direction of the metal strip to a container receiving the molten coating metal through an opening in the bottom region of the container Container is generated an electromagnetic field for retaining the coating metal in the container. Furthermore, the invention relates to a device for hot dip coating.
- the belts are introduced from above into the dip coating bath in a plunger. Since the coating metal is in liquid form and one would like to use the gravitation together with blow-off devices for setting the coating thickness, the following processes but to prohibit belt contact until complete solidification of the coating metal, the tape in the coating vessel must be deflected in the vertical direction. This happens with a roller that runs in liquid metal. Due to the liquid coating metal, this roller is subject to heavy wear and is the cause of downtimes and thus failures in the production plant.
- the steel strip enters the oven via a brush seal and leaves the oven by immersion in the coating container.
- the furnace trunk immersed to seal against the atmospheric oxygen while also in the liquid metal.
- WO 2004/003250 A1 proposes that above the metal bath a gas or a gas mixture is to be used as separation gas, which has a poor thermal conductivity and the properties has to reduce or prevent turbulence of the gas or gas mixture over the surface of the metal bath.
- solutions are also known in which a downwardly open vertical vertical band-up coating vessel is used, an electromagnetic closure being used for sealing. These are electromagnetic inducers that work with backward, pumping or constricting electromagnetic alternating or traveling fields that seal the coating vessel down.
- Such a solution is known, for example, from EP 0 673 444 B1, from WO 96/03533 or from JP 5086446.

Furthermore, it can be provided that each space of the roller chamber has at least one gas sensor with which the type and / or the composition and / or the concentration of a gas in the room can be determined.
- control means are provided with which the gas composition and / or the concentration of a gas in at least one of the rooms, preferably in all rooms, can be maintained at desired values.
- the roller chamber is preferably provided with a ceramic inner lining, which favors the cleanliness of the chamber. It preferably has a steel housing. However, the roller chamber can also be made of steel without inner lining.
- roller chamber it is provided that it has an essentially rectangular contour in section, with a guide channel for the metal strip being connected to the first space as seen in the conveying direction of the metal strip.
- an embodiment of the roller chamber provides that it has a substantially rectangular in cross section contour which forms one of the spaces, followed by a second space adjoins, which is formed by a guide channel for the metal strip.
- the proposed invention makes it possible to maintain more favorable operating conditions, in particular in the case of abnormal operating conditions, such as in the case of power loss or in the event of an accident, or when starting up or shutting down the hot-dip coating installation.
- the present invention thus provides a procedure and design with which an important component for the operation of a hot-dip coating plant with high reliability is created.
- the area of the soil entry into the coating vessel i. H. the area immediately below the coating vessel or the associated area of the roller chamber (the last space of the roller chamber, seen in the conveying direction of the metal strip) is operated with a different atmosphere than the remaining oven area.
