Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé pour fabriquer une bande d'acier, qui, en plus de contenir du fer en tant que constituant principal et des impuretés inévitables, contient un ou plusieurs des éléments présentant une affinité pour l'oxygène, en % en poids : Al : plus de 0,02, Cr : plus de 0,1, Mn : plus de 1,3 ou Si : plus de 0,1, la surface de la bande d'acier étant purifiée, la bande d'acier étant recuite, puis la bande d'acier ainsi traitée et recuite étant revêtue d'un dépôt par immersion à chaud. Selon l'invention, afin d'abaisser les coûts et d'obtenir des conditions d'adhérence homogènes et reproductibles destinées au dépôt, la bande d'acier est traitée par oxydation à des températures inférieures à 200 °C avant le recuit, une couche d'oxyde contenant un oxyde de fer étant formée sur la surface de la bande d'acier par formation d'oxydes avec du fer à partir de la bande d'acier, laquelle couche est traitée par réduction au cours du recuit dans une atmosphère réductrice pour obtenir une surface constituée sensiblement de fer métallique.
