Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an apparatus for manufacturing a molten metal coated steel strip in a molten metal coating process, the apparatus being configured to reduce splashing of a molten metal, and a method for manufacturing a molten metal coated steel strip with the apparatus.
  • a gas wiping device is arranged, the gas wiping device being configured to control the amount of a molten metal (coating weight) coated on a steel strip S by blowing a pressurized gas from gas wiping nozzles 3 to the steel strip to remove an excess amount of the molten metal, the gas wiping nozzles 3 extending in the direction of the width of the steel strip and being arranged on both sides of the steel strip S so as to face the steel strip S, in order that the molten metal sticking to the surface of the steel strip uniformly has a predetermined thickness in the transverse and longitudinal directions, the blowing step being performed after the steps of immersing the steel strip S in the molten metal 8 contained in a coating bath 9, changing the travel direction using a sink roll 7, and drawing the steel strip S in the vertical direction.
  • submersed support rolls 5 are usually arranged above the sink roll 7 and below the molten metal surface.
  • support rolls 4 outside the bath are arranged above the gas wiping nozzles 3, as needed.
  • the gas wiping nozzles 3 are usually longer than the width of the steel strip, i.e., each extend beyond the ends of the steel strip S in the width direction, in order to correspond steel strips with various widths and the displacement in the width direction in drawing the steel strip.
  • splashing in which the molten metal dropping toward the lower portion of the steel strip is spattered, due to the turbulence of a jet impinging on the steel strip S occurs, leading to a reduction in the surface quality of the steel strip.
  • the threading speed may be increased.
  • the coating weight is controlled by the gas wiping method, the initial amount of the molten metal applied to the steel strip immediately after the steel strip passes through the molten metal is increased with increasing line speed due to the viscosity of the molten metal.
  • the wiping gas pressure is forced to be set at a higher level. This results in a significant increase in the amount of splash, thereby reducing the surface quality.
  • a method for reducing an excess amount of molten metal sticking to a steel strip to some extent before the steel strip reaches the wiping nozzles to reduce the initial amount of the molten metal sticking to the steel strip immediately after the steel strip passes through the molten metal is disclosed.
  • Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2004-76082 discloses an apparatus including molten-metal-reducing members arranged on both sides of a steel strip so as to face the steel strip in a noncontact manner and arranged between submersed support rolls 5 and wiping nozzles 3 in a molten metal, in which an excess amount of molten metal is removed, and then gas wiping is performed to control the coating thickness.
  • Each of the molten-metal-reducing members preferably has a rectangular shape, a shape having an entry portion in which the distance between the member and the corresponding surface of the steel strip increases with decreasing distance from the lower end of the member, or a columnar shape.
  • the patent document states that the molten-metal-reducing members are most preferably located so as to cross the surface of the molten metal.
  • the patent document also states that the molten-metal-reducing members are preferably arranged so as to surround the steel strip.
  • the molten-metal-reducing members can reduce an excess amount of the molten metal sticking to the middle portion of the steel strip in the width direction.
  • the flow of the molten metal from the outside of both ends of the steel strip in the width direction into the middle portion of the steel strip in the width direction reduces the effect of reducing the molten metal at both ends of the steel strip in the width direction, thus increasing the difference in excess amount of molten metal between the middle portion and both ends in the width direction compared with the case where the molten-metal-reducing members are not arranged.
  • This reduces the effect of reducing splashing in the subsequent gas-wiping step.
  • the molten-metal-reducing members arranged so as to surround the steel strip as disclosed in this method cannot correspond a change in the width of a steel strip produced and thus limits the strip width such that the effect of reducing the molten metal can be provided.
  • an object of the present invention to provide an apparatus for stably manufacturing a molten metal coated steel strip having excellent surface appearance, in which an excess amount of molten metal sticking to a steel strip drawn from a molten metal can be reduced across the entire width of the steel strip even when the width of the steel strip is changed, so that the occurrence of splashing can be suppressed in a gas-wiping step.
  • the present invention provides (1) an apparatus for manufacturing a molten metal coated steel strip, the apparatus being configured to control the amount of a metal coated on surfaces of a steel strip by blowing a gas from gas wiping nozzles to the surfaces of the steel strip continuously drawn from a molten metal, including molten-metal-reducing members arranged on both sides of the steel strip below the surface of the molten metal in the coating bath so as to face the steel strip, each of the molten-metal-reducing members having a length equal to or longer than the width of the steel strip, and shields arranged between the molten-metal-reducing members each extending along an extension of a corresponding one of the surfaces of the steel strip, the molten-metal-reducing members being arranged so as to face the steel strip.
  • the length of a surface of each of the shields facing the steel strip in the travel direction of the steel strip is 50% or more of the length of a steel-strip-facing surface of each of the molten-metal-reducing members in the travel direction of the steel strip (when the steel-strip-facing surfaces of the molten-metal-reducing members in the travel direction of the steel strip have different lengths on both sides of the steel strip, the length of the surface of each of the shields facing the steel strip in the travel direction of the steel strip is 50% or more of the length of the steel-strip-facing surface of the molten-metal-reducing member having a shorter length of the steel-strip-facing surface in the travel direction of the steel strip), and the distance between the molten-metal-reducing members and the shields is 3 mm or less.
  • a method for manufacturing a molten metal coated steel strip including coating a steel strip with a molten metal using the apparatus for manufacturing a molten metal coated steel strip described in item (1) or (2).
  • the molten-metal-reducing members for removing an excess amount of molten metal are arranged between a sink roll and gas wiping nozzles, the molten metal removed by gas wiping flows down to form pools between the steel strip and the molten-metal-reducing members. If the distance between the pools and the gas wiping portion is short, an excess amount of molten metal cannot be reduced. The inventors have thus come to the conclusion that the best position of the molten-metal-reducing member arranged is below the molten metal surface.
  • the inventors have accomplished the present invention on the basis of these findings.
  • Fig. 1 is a cross-sectional view of an apparatus for manufacturing a molten metal coated steel strip according to an embodiment of the present invention.
  • reference numeral 1 denotes molten-metal-reducing members arranged in a molten metal, above the submersed support rolls 5, and on both sides of the steel strip S, each of the molten-metal-reducing members being disposed a predetermined distance apart from a corresponding one of the surfaces of the steel strip.
  • Reference numeral 2 denotes shields arranged close to both ends of the steel strip S and between the molten-metal-reducing members 1 which each extend along an extension of a corresponding one of the surfaces of the steel strip and which are located so as to face the steel strip S.
  • shields indicates a member configured to shield the molten metal and inhibit flows from both ends to the middle portion of the steel strip.
  • Figs. 2(a) and 2(b) illustrate the operation of the molten-metal-reducing members and the shields of the apparatus of the present invention.
  • Fig. 2(a) is a top view illustrating flows of a molten metal at an end of a steel strip in a region between the molten-metal-reducing members when only the molten-metal-reducing members are arranged.
  • Fig. 2(b) is a top view illustrating flows of a molten metal at an end of a steel strip in a region between the molten-metal-reducing members when the molten-metal-reducing members and the shields 2 are arranged.
  • the arrangement of only the molten-metal-reducing members 1 produces flows 11 of the molten metal from the ends to the middle portion of the steel strip as shown in Fig. 2(a) .
  • a larger molten-metal-reducing effect of the molten-metal-reducing members 1 is liable to cause an increase in the flows 11 as if the flows 11 compensate for the effect, thereby disadvantageously reducing or eliminating the reduction effect of the molten-metal-reducing members 1 at both ends of the steel strip.
  • the shields 2 are arranged between the molten-metal-reducing members which each extend along an extension of a corresponding one of the surfaces of the steel strip and which are located so as to face the steel strip as shown in Fig. 2(b) ; hence, the effects of reducing an excess amount of molten metal by the molten-metal-reducing members 1 can be uniformly provided across the entire width of the steel strip.
  • the thickness of the molten metal can be controlled by the gas wiping nozzles after an excess amount of molten metal sticking to the steel strip is reduced across the entire width of the steel strip using the molten-metal-reducing members and the shields even when the width of the steel strip is changed, thereby significantly reducing the amount of splashing.
  • the effect of reducing the molten metal can be provided even at a significantly increased threading speed, thereby significantly reducing the amount of splashing. It is thus possible to manufacture a surface defect-free molten metal coated steel strip with high productivity.
  • each shield 2 adjacent to the steel strip is desirably perpendicular to the steel strip surfaces as shown in Fig. 2(b) .
  • the distance between each end of the steel strip and a corresponding one of the end faces of each shield 2 adjacent to the steel strip is desirably 5 mm or less. A smaller distance therebetween is more desirable.
  • the ends of the steel strip are in contact with the end faces of the shields 2 while no pressing force is being applied to the steel strip.
  • the clearance between the molten-metal-reducing members 1 and the shields 2 is desirably 3 mm or less. A smaller clearance therebetween is more desirable.
  • the length of a surface of each shield 2 facing the steel strip in the travel direction of the steel strip is preferably at least 50% or more of the length of the molten-metal-reducing members 1 in the travel direction of the steel strip and most preferably a length comparable to the length of the molten-metal-reducing members 1.
  • each of the shields 2 preferably has concave arcuate surfaces facing the molten-metal-reducing members 1, each of the concave arcuate surfaces having a radius of curvature slightly larger than that of the circular arc of each molten-metal-reducing member 1.
  • each of the molten-metal-reducing members is not limited to the shape shown in Fig. 3 .
  • the molten-metal-reducing members may have various cross-sectional shapes as described below.
  • Fig. 4(a) in the case where each of the molten-metal-reducing members 1 has a triangular cross-section, a surface facing the steel strip S, and the top surface facing the molten-metal surface, the surface facing the steel strip S being parallel to the steel strip S, and the top surface being parallel to the molten-metal surface, the molten-metal-reducing members 1 can provide an improved effect of reducing the molten metal.
  • the flow 11 branches off at the bottom of the molten-metal-reducing members 1 to form a flow 13 because fluid flows easily in the low-resistance direction; hence, the molten-metal-reducing members 1 have the function to prevent the growth of the flow 11. Furthermore, the flow 13 flows in the direction away from the steel strip S and thus faces a flow 12 flowing toward the steel strip S above the molten-metal-reducing members 1; hence, the molten-metal-reducing members 1 also have the effect of reducing the velocity of the flow 12.
  • the molten-metal-reducing members 1 can control the flow as described above and thus can significantly suppress accompanying flows near the steel strip S drawn from the molten metal, thereby reducing an excess amount of molten metal sticking to the steel strip S. As a result, the pressure of a wiping gas can be lowered to reduce the amount of splashing of the molten metal, so that a steel strip having satisfactory surface quality can be produced.
  • each of the shields 2 may have a rectangular cross-section as shown in Fig. 4(b) .
  • Each of the molten-metal-reducing members 1 shown in Fig. 5(a) has a cross-sectional shape in which an upper profile curve and a lower profile curve are both arcuate and convex in the direction in which the steel strip is drawn from the molten metal and in which the upper curve has a radius of curvature smaller than that of the lower curve. Furthermore, the thickness of each of the molten-metal-reducing members 1 decreases with increasing distance from the steel strip and from the molten-metal surface. This shape of each molten-metal-reducing member 1 most notably provides the effect of branching the flow 11 to form the flow 13 and the effect of forming a flow opposite the flow 12.
  • each of the shields 2 preferably has concave arcuate surfaces facing the molten-metal-reducing members 1, each of the concave arcuate surfaces having a radius of curvature slightly larger than that of the circular arc of a surface of each molten-metal-reducing member 1 facing the shields 2, and the distance between each molten-metal-reducing member 1 and the corresponding shield 2 is preferably maintained constant.
  • Molten-metal-reducing members 1a and 1b shown in Fig. 6(a) each have a roll-covering portion and a steel-strip-facing portion, each of the roll-covering portions being configured to cover the periphery of a corresponding one of the submersed support rolls 5 near to the molten metal surface, and each of the steel-strip-facing portions being arranged above a corresponding one of the steel-strip-facing portions and facing the steel strip.
  • the submersed support rolls 5 are arranged on both sides of the steel strip so as to be in contact with the steel strip, the submersed support rolls 5 being located at different positions in the vertical direction.
  • the steel-strip-facing portions of the molten-metal-reducing members 1a and 1b arranged on both sides of the steel strip S have different lengths in the travel direction of the steel strip.
  • Each of the steel-strip-facing portions of the molten-metal-reducing members 1a and 1b may be parallel or oblique to the surfaces of the steel strip.
  • the arrangement of the molten-metal-reducing members 1a and 1b results in the generation of flows 14 due to the submersed support rolls 5 between the submersed support rolls 5 and the molten-metal-reducing members 1a and 1b.
  • the generation of the flows 14 results in the generation of forced flows 16 between the steel strip S and the molten-metal-reducing members 1a and 1b, the forced flows 16 flowing in the direction opposite to the travel direction of the steel strip S, even when accompanying flows 15 are generated by the travel of the steel strip S, thereby significantly suppressing the accompanying flows 15. This results in a reduction in an excess amount of molten metal sticking to the steel strip S drawn from the molten metal.
  • the molten-metal-reducing members may have only the steel-strip-facing portions of the molten-metal-reducing members 1a and 1b shown in Fig. 6(a) .
  • the steel-strip-facing portions of the molten-metal-reducing members 1a and 1b arranged on both sides of the steel strip may have the same length.

  • the length of the surface of each shield 2 facing the steel strip in the travel direction of the steel strip is comparable to the length of the steel-strip-facing surfaces of the molten-metal-reducing members in the travel direction of the steel strip (when the steel-strip-facing surfaces of the molten-metal-reducing members in the travel direction of the steel strip have different lengths on both sides of the steel strip, the length of the surface of each shield 2 facing the steel strip in the travel direction of the steel strip is more preferably comparable to the length of the steel-strip-facing surface of the molten-metal-reducing member having a shorter length of the steel-strip-facing surface in the travel direction of the steel strip).
  • the shape and dimensions of the molten-metal-reducing members need to be appropriately determined in view of the threading speed, facility, and the like.
  • the height position of the shields 2 in the travel direction of the steel strip is preferably comparable to that of the molten-metal-reducing members 1.
  • the upper and lower ends of each shield 2 are preferably located at the same vertical positions as those of the upper and lower ends of the molten-metal-reducing members 1.
  • the shields 2 are preferably arranged near to the molten-metal surface, i.e., the shields 2 are preferably arranged in such a manner that the upper end of each shield 2 is located at substantially the same position as the upper ends of the molten-metal-reducing members 1.
  • Each of the shields 2 preferably has a length of 100 mm or more in the width direction of the steel strip. Although the upper limit thereof is not limited, the length is preferably about 500 mm or less because a larger length requires a larger facility.
