Definitions

  • the invention relates to the continuous galvanizing of steel strips including AHSS high levels of silicon, manganese, aluminum and, in particular, facilities comprising a radiant tube furnace without direct flame heating zone.
  • the patent JP 02-285057 describes an oxidation phase between 400 and 700 ° C in a slightly oxidizing atmosphere and then a reduction phase between 600 and 800 ° C in a reducing atmosphere, it indicates ranges of temperature and the composition of the gases (contents of O 2 , N 2 and H 2 ).
  • the patent EP 1 285 972 describes the same principle. These two patents, however, remain very general and do not clearly reveal the practical means of controlling reactions.
  • the patent EP 1 457 580 describes an installation for performing the oxidation phase in a specific chamber where the strip is heated by induction or combustion of a gas, in an oxidizing atmosphere, between 100 and 400 ° C.
  • the patent US 3,936,543 describes an annealing furnace duct not aimed at the specific coating of AHSS steels but making it possible to avoid the use of cleaning flux during galvanization by the oxidation followed by the superficial reduction of carbon steel strips.
  • the oven Annealing prior to the galvanizing bath is a conventional furnace having a direct flame heating zone (FDF) and a radiant tube temperature holding zone (RTF).
  • FDF direct flame heating zone
  • RTF radiant tube temperature holding zone
  • the surface oxidation is obtained in the DFF zone by controlling the combustion under super-stoichiometric conditions so that the flue gases have a controlled excess of oxygen.
  • the reduction is obtained in the RTF zone which comprises at least 5% hydrogen, the remainder being nitrogen.
  • the principle laid down by this patent can be implemented for the controlled oxidation / reduction of AHSS steels. It has the advantage of not requiring any additional oxidation installations and of using the mixed galvanization furnaces DFF / RTF without major modifications.
  • the patent WO 2005/017214 proposes two possibilities to solve the problem. The first is to use a direct flame combustion chamber separate from the RTF annealing furnace from which the flue gas has been collected for injection into the furnace. The second is to install a direct flame burner in an area of the oven enclosure. In both cases, the flue gases provide the necessary oxidizing atmosphere under conditions of composition obviously dependent on the temperature of the strip and that of the gases. The reduction is then conventionally obtained by passing through a mixture of nitrogen and hydrogen.
  • the invention consists in injecting an oxidizing medium into a section of a radiant tube furnace, particularly in a nitrogen / hydrogen atmosphere, using one or more tubes, in particular specially modified and capable of being installed in place of any of the existing tubes.
  • this injection can be carried out in any section of the furnace, preferably in the preheating section.
  • the medium must have, depending on the temperature of the band and the chemical composition of the latter, a dew point such that the alloying elements such as silicon, manganese, aluminum, chromium are deeply oxidized. and no longer have the ability to migrate to the surface. As a general rule, this dew point is above -20 ° C.
  • the injected medium may be water vapor or air or a mixture rich in oxygen. It can also be the product resulting from the combustion of an over-stoichiometric mixture of air or oxygen-rich air or oxygen / fuel in a burner.
  • the control of this selective oxidation preferably makes use of the measurement of the dew point in the zone (s) of installation of the (or) tube (s) modified (s).
  • This measurement can be carried out by dew point transmitters installed in a fixed position and operating in a closed loop with the medium flow control members. oxidant injected by the injectors of oxidizing medium and / or, adjustment of the burners.
  • the invention also relates to a device according to claim 5 ensuring the organization, in a preheating section and / or a maintenance section of a continuous galvanizing annealing furnace of steel strips equipped only with radiant tubes.
  • at least one oxidation zone for preventing the selective oxidation of the alloying elements of the steel, by injecting an oxidizing medium in the oxidation zone characterized in that it comprises at least a tube comprising at least one branch provided with calibrated holes allowing the oxidizing medium to pass through the oxidation zone.
  • the means for introducing the oxidizing medium may be either an injector ensuring the supply of the tube in a hot oxidizing medium such as water vapor, air or a gas rich in oxygen, or a burner feeding the tube into a product resulting from the combustion of an over-stoichiometric air / fuel mixture, a stoichiometric air / oxygen / fuel mixture or a stoichiometric air / oxygen fuel mixture within the non-explosive limit.
  • a hot oxidizing medium such as water vapor, air or a gas rich in oxygen
  • the modified tube (s) intended to provide the oxidizing medium necessary for the oxidation of the strip is (are), for example, a U-shaped tube whose inlet branch is equipped at its end with a device for injecting steam or air preheated or not, oxygenated or not oxygen or oxygen and whose branch opposite the inlet branch is closed at its end, at least one of the branches preferably the opposite branch to the input branch, is pierced with calibrated holes allowing said medium to pass.
  • the U-tube can be replaced by any conventional tube shape such as, for example, a P-shape, a double-P shape, a W shape or a thermowell shape.
  • the radiant tube intended to supply the oxidizing medium is a P-tube having an inlet branch equipped at its end with a burner and at least one of the branches, preferably the opposite branch.
  • the input branch is pierced with calibrated holes allowing flue gases to pass through the furnace enclosure.
  • the branch opposite to the input branch comprising the burner may allow some of the flue gases to escape outside the furnace through a calibrated orifice or comprise a heat exchanger device for preheating the air of combustion with flue gases.
  • the P-tube can be replaced by any conventional tube shape such as, for example, a U-shape, a W-shape, a P-shape or a thermowell.
  • the burner (s) are supplied with an over-stoichiometric air / fuel mixture or with a stoichiometric mixture of oxygen-enriched air / fuel or with a stoichiometric mixture of oxygenated air / fuel within the non-explosive limits.
  • the tubes equipped with burner or injector, whatever their type, are directly interchangeable with existing ones. They can be installed on demand depending on the temperature chosen for the oxidation or be installed permanently at different points of the oven. In this case, they are activated according to the choice of the temperature at which it is desired to oxidize the strip, therefore the position of the tube in the oven.
  • Another advantage of the method is to locate the injection of oxidizing medium exactly where it is needed, that is to say very close to the two faces of the steel strip and to be able to take advantage of the local effect of turbulence in contact with the band which favors the reactions between the medium and the band.
  • the figure 2 describes the arrangement of the different sections of a radiant tube annealing furnace and, superimposed, the evolution of the temperature of the band B as it travels through the furnace (curve T).
  • Said strip B enters the furnace 6 by a preheating section 61 followed by a temperature holding section 62, a cooling section 63 with slow cooling means 631 and fasting 632, an aging section 64 and a heating section 65 required for immersion in the zinc bath 7.

  • the branch 2b of the tube 2 in P opposite the burner 3 is equipped with a calibrated or adjustable device 7 to evacuate to the outside of the furnace part of the burnt gases.
  • the branch 2b of the P-tube opposite the burner 3 is equipped with a heating device 8, 9 of the combustion air by the flue gases.
  • the radiant tube may be of the double P type as shown in FIG. figure 6 .
  • the burner 3 is disposed in the open end of the central input branch 2a of the tube 2.
  • the holes 6 are then preferably formed in each of the opposite branches 2b located on either side of the central branch 2a.
  • a U-tube 2 is installed in the enclosure 1 of a galvanizing annealing furnace. It is assembled by a support 5 and a plate 4.
  • An injector 10 supplied with oxidizing gas under pressure such as water vapor, air or a mixture rich in oxygen delivers in the tube 2 a mixture of oxidizing gases. and mixing HNx at high temperature present in the oven enclosure.
  • This mixture is diffused in the chamber 1 by means of calibrated holes 6 formed in the branch 2b opposite to the input branch 2a.
  • the end of the branch 2b opposite to the input branch 2a comprising the injector is closed by a plug 11.
