Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process for the manufacture of non-skid aluminum tread sheets.
- the process comprises continuously casting, hot rolling, pattern rolling, and annealing an aluminum alloy.
- Non-skid aluminum tread sheets show a regular pattern that protrudes or is embedded in the material on at least one of its faces.
- the figures that generate the relief of the sheet can present different morphologies, normally including diamond shapes, almond or chopsticks. It is a material used in a wide range of applications among which stand out the manufacture of surfaces with high grip to avoid slips, such as stairs or industrial floors, but they are also used in decorative applications, tool boxes, truck floors, wall coverings, and so on. In all these applications the material must provide sufficient mechanical stability and a shiny surface with good surface quality, according to the customer's requirements. Factors such as lightness make the manufacture in aluminum alloys of non-slip tread sheets is especially required in industries such as automotive.
- Aluminum alloys currently offered in the market include the ones of 1000, 3000, 5000, 6000, and 7000 series.

- Continuous casting (CC) of aluminum alloys can result in substantial energy savings and total conversion cost savings.
- the alloy composition and the processing steps must be carefully controlled to obtain a final product with the mechanical and aesthetic properties required for the specific use. This is particularly relevant when using aluminum scraps, which are non-heat-treatable aluminum alloys, namely are hardenable by cold working, but not by heat treatment.
- processes disclosed in the prior art incorporate one or more steps selected from an homogenizing step, a cold rolling step, or an annealing step before the pattern rolling. Therefore, known processes for the preparation of aluminum tread sheets are discontinuous.

- contaminated aluminum scrap presence of paint, oils, and so on
- the aluminum alloy is transferred to a melting and holding furnace where fusion is completed, optionally, with the addition of clean aluminum scrap or internal aluminum cuts generated by the process.
- the molten aluminum alloy is then degassed and filtered in degassing and filtering devices to reduce dissolved gases and inclusions in the molten aluminum alloy.
- a molten aluminum alloy is continuously cast in a continuous caster in order to form an aluminum slab having the required thickness.
- the aluminum slab can be prepared by any continuous casting technique well known to those skilled in the art such as by a twin belt casting.
- the continuous caster is a Hazelett twin belt caster.

- the aluminum band passes on its way to the hot rolling mill through a pinch roll that applies a lower speed of advance with respect to the casting system to cause a better compaction of the metal inside the machine.
- the reduction of the speed of advance is from 0.01 m/min to 0.07 m/min.
- the aluminum sheet at its exit from the pinch-roll is driven by an inlet table to the hot rolling mill. Then, through several stands, wherein the last one is a pattern rolling stand, the aluminum sheet thickness is progressively reduced from the initial thickness, such as of 19 mm, to the final thickness of the tread sheet at the exit from the pattern rolling mill.
- the aluminum alloy is of the 3XXX series and tread sheet thickness is from 2.0 to 4.0 mm; or the aluminum alloy is of the 5XXX series and the tread sheet thickness is from 2.3 to 3.5 mm; or the aluminum alloy is of the 1XXX series and tread sheet thickness is from 1.3 to 5.0 mm at the exit from the pattern rolling mill.

- a molten aluminum alloy was continuously casted in a Hazelett twin belt caster at a temperature from 675 to 690 °C.
- the aluminum band On its way to the hot rolling mill, the aluminum band was passed through a pinch roll and, subsequently, was driven by an inlet table to a 3-stand tandem mill. Hot rolling itself was performed in the first two stands (stands 1 and 2) and pattern rolling was performed in a third stand (stand 3) having embossing rolls, in order to obtain an aluminum tread sheet.
- Table 1 the main process parameters and the corresponding value ranges are shown for Examples of the present disclosure and comparative examples.

- the aluminum tread sheet is led to the coiler where the wrapper belt begins to wind the coil with a pressure of 80 bar.
- Coils of 8.5 t manufactured at a time of 16-18 min per unit were then subjected to a heat treatment at a temperature of 400 °C in a controlled atmosphere by injection of an inert gas (nitrogen having an oxygen level below 2000 ppm) during a minimum of 1 h. Then, the oxygen level were increased until reaching the atmospheric levels and the temperature was maintained for at least 1 hours, such as for 2 hours. Coils were left to cool at room temperature. Finally, coils were subjected to a process of cutting edges to eliminate the lateral cracks formed during the hot rolling process and adapt the width of the coil to the requirements demanded by the market.
- an inert gas nitrogen having an oxygen level below 2000 ppm
