Definitions
- the present invention relates to manufacturing equipment and a manufacturing method for a steel plate.
- cooling from a high temperature is often performed to adjust mechanical properties such as strength. Cooling is roughly divided into an online water cooling method and an offline water cooling method.
- the online water cooling method the steel plate after hot rolling is water-cooled by using a water cooling device connected online.
- the offline water cooling method the rolled material is once cooled to room temperature, and then heated and water-cooled again in a heat treatment furnace connected offline.
- the online water cooling method is advantageous, but since the steel plate is likely to warp or the like during rolling, it is not possible to dispose a cooling device near the rolling mill. As a result, since the temperature drops during transportation to the cooling device after rolling, there is a problem that water cooling cannot be performed at an appropriate temperature.
- the offline water cooling method is advantageous for adjusting the mechanical properties because the cooling device is disposed on the outlet side of the heating furnace and quenching can be performed from a temperature substantially equal to the heating temperature.
- a hot-rolled steel plate is likely to have temperature unevenness during cooling due to differences in the temperature distribution, shape, or surface condition of the steel plate immediately after rolling. Furthermore, the temperature unevenness of the steel plate may be caused by the performance of the cooling device. When the temperature unevenness of the steel plate occurs, deformation of the steel plate, residual stress, material variation, and the like occur after cooling.
- various cooling devices capable of uniform cooling have been developed. However, the method developed is only an improvement of the cooling device, and in particular, flattening of the steel plate after cooling is not completely achieved. Poor shape of the steel plate after cooling causes operational troubles such as a plate passage failure in the manufacturing line, and requires a precision treatment by a press or a flattening device in a subsequent step, resulting in high cost.
- temperature unevenness of the steel plate There are two types of temperature unevenness of the steel plate, one is due to the design of the cooling nozzle and the other is due to the shape of the steel plate during rolling. Depending on the design of a cooling nozzle, temperature deviation on the upper and lower surfaces and temperature non-uniformity in the width direction may occur. On the other hand, when the shape of the steel plate during rolling is poor, the cooling water does not flow evenly on the steel plate, and the cooling capacity changes depending on the location, resulting in temperature unevenness.
- PTLs 1 and 2 propose an online process of flattening with a first flattening device, accelerated cooling, and then final flattening with a second flattening device.
- a large effect cannot be obtained on the generation of temperature unevenness caused by the cooling nozzle and the cooling strain caused by the temperature unevenness, such as the temperature deviation on the upper and lower surfaces and the uniformity in the width direction described above.
- the offline heat treatment equipment in the related art is disposed in the order of a heating furnace, a quenching device, and a flattening device.
- the quenching device cools to 100°C or less, and even when the cooling uniformity is not ensured, the final cooling stop temperature of the steel plate is constant because it is cooled to a low temperature close to the water temperature of the cooling water. Therefore, the uniformity of cooling was not considered.
- cooling may be completed at a temperature higher than room temperature such as 100°C or higher. In that case, when the cooling is not uniform, since the temperature of the steel plate after cooling also varies, not only the predetermined quality cannot be ensured, but also the steel plate is distorted due to the difference in thermal expansion in the plane of the steel plate temperature.
- the present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and it is an object of the present invention to provide manufacturing equipment and a manufacturing method for a steel plate capable of performing more uniform cooling during heat treatment of the steel plate and manufacturing a flat and homogeneous steel plate.
- manufacturing equipment for a steel plate in which the steel plate is heat-treated, the equipment including a heating furnace configured to heat the steel plate having a temperature of 100°C or lower, a first flattening device configured to flatten the heated steel plate, a quenching device configured to quench the flattened steel plate, and a second flattening device configured to flatten the quenched steel plate.
- a manufacturing method for a steel plate in which the steel plate is heat-treated, the method including a heating step of heating the steel plate having a temperature of 100°C or lower, a first flattening step of flattening the steel plate after the heating, a quenching step of quenching the steel plate after the first flattening step, and a second flattening step of flattening the steel plate after the quenching.
- manufacturing equipment and a manufacturing method for a steel plate capable of performing more uniform cooling during heat treatment of the steel plate and manufacturing a flat and homogeneous steel plate.

- the temperature of the steel plate 2 drops from the time when the steel plate 2 is extracted from the heating furnace 3 to the time when the steel plate 2 reaches the first flattening device 4.

- the hot-rolled steel plate 2 is cooled to room temperature, and then the scale is removed by a surface scale removing device (not illustrated).
- the steel plate 2 from which the scale is removed is charged into the heating furnace 3 and heated to an austenite temperature range (for example, approximately 910°C) (heating step).
- an austenite temperature range for example, approximately 910°C
- the steel plate 2 is extracted from the heating furnace 3, is transported to the first flattening device 4 by a plurality of table rolls (not illustrated) installed on the outlet side of the heating furnace 3, and is flattened by the first flattening device 4 (first flattening step).
- the reason for installing the first flattening device 4 in front of the quenching device 5 (on the upstream side in the transport direction of the steel plate 2) will be described below.
- the steel plate 2 is hot-rolled in advance to a predetermined thickness and width on a hot rolling line different from the heat treatment equipment 1.
- a shape defect occurs after cooling.
- the heat treatment equipment 1 since the steel plate 2 is inserted into the heating furnace 3 with the shape defect occurring, the shape defect remains even when the steel plate 2 is uniformly heated in the heating furnace 3.
- the first flattening device 4 is preferably a roller leveler flattening device capable of repeated bending than a skin pass flattening device having a low flattening ability for the warp in the longitudinal direction generated at the tip tail end portion of the steel plate 2.
- the roller leveler flattening device is a flattening machine that repeatedly bends with a plurality of rolls (for example, four on the upper surface and three on the lower surface), and the flattening effect is relatively low at a distance corresponding to the roll pitch. Therefore, in a case where a roller leveler flattening device is used, it is more preferable to further provide a press type flattening mechanism or the like capable of correcting the warp of the tip tail end portion of the steel plate 2.
- the temperature of the steel plate 2 when flattening the shape by the first flattening device 4 is preferably in the range of the temperature Ar 3 temperature ⁇ 150°C at which the austenite of the steel plate 2 is transformed into ferrite.
- the yield stress of the steel plate 2 is sufficiently low, and the reaction force when flattening the shape can be reduced.
- the steel plate 2 is quenched by the quenching device 5 (quenching step).
- the steel plate 2 is flattened by the second flattening device 6 (second flattening step).
- second flattening step In quenching (cooling) by the quenching device 5, it is difficult to control the flow rates of the cooling water 53 ejected from the upper cooling nozzle 51 and the lower cooling nozzle 52 to be completely matched in the width direction. Therefore, there remains a risk of slight warpage due to temperature unevenness during quenching, and thus it is necessary to further flatten the steel plate 2 with the second flattening device 6.
- the temperature of the steel plate 2 is 100°C or lower when flattening by the second flattening device 6.
- the steel plate 2 has a plate thickness of 4.0 mm or more, and the present invention is not limited to this example.
- the steel plate may have a plate thickness of less than 4.0 mm.
- the present invention is suitable for a steel plate having a plate thickness of 4.0 mm or more, and is more suitable for a steel plate having a plate thickness of 6.0 mm or more.
- Manufacturing equipment (heat treatment equipment 1) for a steel plate is manufacturing equipment for a steel plate, in which the steel plate is heat-treated, and includes the heating furnace 3 configured to heat the steel plate having a temperature of 100°C or lower, the first flattening device 4 configured to flatten the heated steel plate, the quenching device 5 configured to quench the flattened steel plate, and the second flattening device 6 configured to flatten the quenched steel plate.
- the steel plate by flattening the steel plate with the first flattening device 4, cooling when quenching can be made uniform. Therefore, the steel plate can be made flat and homogeneous. In addition, by flattening the steel plate with the second flattening device 6 after quenching, the finally manufactured steel plate can be flattened even in a case where the cooling of the quenching device 5 is uneven.
- the load capacity of the first flattening device 4 is lower than the load capacity of the second flattening device 6.
- the load capacity can be optimized according to the difference in deformation resistance due to the difference in the temperature of the steel plate, and since the first flattening device 4 does not use a flattening device with a high load capacity, the initial equipment introduction cost is low.
- the temperature of the steel plate is in the range of Ar 3 temperature ⁇ 150°C when the steel plate is flattened by the first flattening device 4.
- the yield stress of the steel plate is sufficiently low, and the reaction force when flattening the shape can be reduced.
- a temperature of the steel plate is 100°C or lower when the steel plate is flattened by the second flattening device 6.

Description
- The present invention relates to manufacturing equipment and a manufacturing method for a steel plate.
- In manufacturing a steel plate, cooling from a high temperature is often performed to adjust mechanical properties such as strength. Cooling is roughly divided into an online water cooling method and an offline water cooling method. In the online water cooling method, the steel plate after hot rolling is water-cooled by using a water cooling device connected online. In the offline water cooling method, the rolled material is once cooled to room temperature, and then heated and water-cooled again in a heat treatment furnace connected offline. In terms of energy cost, the online water cooling method is advantageous, but since the steel plate is likely to warp or the like during rolling, it is not possible to dispose a cooling device near the rolling mill. As a result, since the temperature drops during transportation to the cooling device after rolling, there is a problem that water cooling cannot be performed at an appropriate temperature.
- On the other hand, the offline water cooling method is advantageous for adjusting the mechanical properties because the cooling device is disposed on the outlet side of the heating furnace and quenching can be performed from a temperature substantially equal to the heating temperature.
- In general, a hot-rolled steel plate is likely to have temperature unevenness during cooling due to differences in the temperature distribution, shape, or surface condition of the steel plate immediately after rolling. Furthermore, the temperature unevenness of the steel plate may be caused by the performance of the cooling device. When the temperature unevenness of the steel plate occurs, deformation of the steel plate, residual stress, material variation, and the like occur after cooling. As a countermeasure, various cooling devices capable of uniform cooling have been developed. However, the method developed is only an improvement of the cooling device, and in particular, flattening of the steel plate after cooling is not completely achieved. Poor shape of the steel plate after cooling causes operational troubles such as a plate passage failure in the manufacturing line, and requires a precision treatment by a press or a flattening device in a subsequent step, resulting in high cost.
- There are two types of temperature unevenness of the steel plate, one is due to the design of the cooling nozzle and the other is due to the shape of the steel plate during rolling. Depending on the design of a cooling nozzle, temperature deviation on the upper and lower surfaces and temperature non-uniformity in the width direction may occur. On the other hand, when the shape of the steel plate during rolling is poor, the cooling water does not flow evenly on the steel plate, and the cooling capacity changes depending on the location, resulting in temperature unevenness.
- Here, many technologies are known as a method for suppressing temperature unevenness caused by a cooling nozzle such as temperature deviation on the upper and lower surfaces and uniformity in the width direction. On the other hand, there are not so many technologies for suppressing the temperature unevenness generated from the shape defect generated during rolling, and as a corresponding technology, a method of performing flattening in front of an accelerated cooling device to flatten the shape and ensure uniformity during cooling (PTLs 1 and 2) is known. In
PTLs 1 and 2, it is an object of a first flattening device to flatten the shape of a steel plate to such an extent that draining can be sufficiently performed by a draining roll in a cooling device. -
- PTL 1:
JP 2002-11515 A - PTL 2:
JP 2005-74480 A - Incidentally, in recent years, an increasing number of manufacturing lines are actually operating technologies such as those described in
PTLs 1 and 2 in which an online flattening device is installed in front of a cooling device. However, in the first place, in hot rolling, the temperature deviation is large in principle due to descaling during rolling and water cooling for temperature adjustment, and the temperature deviation generated in the plate surface is a difference in the heat shrinkage amount. Therefore, even when the shape is flattened in hot rolling, there is a problem that the shape is deformed again when the temperature drops. - Furthermore,
PTLs 1 and 2 propose an online process of flattening with a first flattening device, accelerated cooling, and then final flattening with a second flattening device. However, no matter which technology is used alone, a large effect cannot be obtained on the generation of temperature unevenness caused by the cooling nozzle and the cooling strain caused by the temperature unevenness, such as the temperature deviation on the upper and lower surfaces and the uniformity in the width direction described above. - The offline heat treatment equipment in the related art is disposed in the order of a heating furnace, a quenching device, and a flattening device. The quenching device cools to 100°C or less, and even when the cooling uniformity is not ensured, the final cooling stop temperature of the steel plate is constant because it is cooled to a low temperature close to the water temperature of the cooling water. Therefore, the uniformity of cooling was not considered. In recent years, there is an increasing need to reduce the variation in cooling rate within the plate surface during quenching from the viewpoint of quality improvement, and it is important to perform uniform cooling by offline heat treatment that can ensure temperature uniformity before quenching. Furthermore, even in the offline heat treatment, cooling may be completed at a temperature higher than room temperature such as 100°C or higher. In that case, when the cooling is not uniform, since the temperature of the steel plate after cooling also varies, not only the predetermined quality cannot be ensured, but also the steel plate is distorted due to the difference in thermal expansion in the plane of the steel plate temperature.
- The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and it is an object of the present invention to provide manufacturing equipment and a manufacturing method for a steel plate capable of performing more uniform cooling during heat treatment of the steel plate and manufacturing a flat and homogeneous steel plate.
- According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided manufacturing equipment for a steel plate, in which the steel plate is heat-treated, the equipment including a heating furnace configured to heat the steel plate having a temperature of 100°C or lower, a first flattening device configured to flatten the heated steel plate, a quenching device configured to quench the flattened steel plate, and a second flattening device configured to flatten the quenched steel plate.
- According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a manufacturing method for a steel plate, in which the steel plate is heat-treated, the method including a heating step of heating the steel plate having a temperature of 100°C or lower, a first flattening step of flattening the steel plate after the heating, a quenching step of quenching the steel plate after the first flattening step, and a second flattening step of flattening the steel plate after the quenching.
- According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided manufacturing equipment and a manufacturing method for a steel plate capable of performing more uniform cooling during heat treatment of the steel plate and manufacturing a flat and homogeneous steel plate.

FIG. 1 illustrates a schematic configuration of heat treatment equipment 1 for asteel plate 2, which is manufacturing equipment for a steel plate according to an embodiment of the present invention, andFIG. 2 illustrates a detailed configuration of each of a firstflattening device 4 and aquenching device 5 in the present embodiment. In the present embodiment, to secure a uniform temperature and shape, the main focus is on adjusting the mechanical properties of the material with offline heat treatment equipment that is not directly connected to a rolling line, and the heat treatment equipment 1 is not directly connected to the rolling line. The heat treatment equipment 1 is equipment for heat-treating thesteel plate 2, and is provided with aheating furnace 3, thefirst flattening device 4, thequenching device 5, and a secondflattening device 6. In addition, as illustrated inFIG. 1 , in the heat treatment equipment 1, theheating furnace 3, thefirst flattening device 4, thequenching device 5, and thesecond flattening device 6 are disposed in this order from the upstream side in the transport direction of thesteel plate 2. Furthermore, a transport roller (not illustrated) for transporting thesteel plate 2 is provided between each of theheating furnace 3, thefirst flattening device 4, thequenching device 5, and thesecond flattening device 6. - The
heating furnace 3 heats thesteel plate 2 having a temperature of 100°C or lower after hot rolling to the austenite temperature range. Thesteel plate 2 has a plate thickness of 4.0 mm or more. - The
first flattening device 4 is a device for flattening thesteel plate 2 heated in theheating furnace 3, and is provided between theheating furnace 3 and thequenching device 5. As thefirst flattening device 4, a reduction type skin pass flattening device or a repeatedly bending type roller leveler flattening device can be used. In addition, for the reason described later, it is preferable to use the roller leveler flattening device for thefirst flattening device 4. Furthermore, for the reason described later, in a case where the roller leveler flattening device is used, it is more preferable to further provide a press type flattening mechanism or the like capable of correcting the warp of a tip tail end portion of thesteel plate 2. - Here, the temperature of the
steel plate 2 drops from the time when thesteel plate 2 is extracted from theheating furnace 3 to the time when thesteel plate 2 reaches thefirst flattening device 4. The smaller the temperature drop, the smaller the increase in the deformation resistance of thesteel plate 2, and the shape can be flattened with a small flattening force. Therefore, it is preferable that the distance from theheating furnace 3 to thefirst flattening device 4 is 4 m or less. Furthermore, thefirst flattening device 4 is preferably small in size and has a small installation space to shorten the transport time from theheating furnace 3 to thequenching device 5. In addition, in thefirst flattening device 4, it is preferable to use a flattening device having a lower load capacity than that of thesecond flattening device 6 to flatten thesteel plate 2 having a relatively low deformation resistance during heat. Thefirst flattening device 4 may have a load capacity of at least 500 tons, and preferably approximately 3000 tons. In the present embodiment, ton indicates metric ton. - The
quenching device 5 is a device for quenching thesteel plate 2 shape-flattened by thefirst flattening device 4 by water cooling. As illustrated inFIG. 2 , thequenching device 5 includes anupper cooling nozzle 51 and alower cooling nozzle 52 as a device for rapidly cooling thesteel plate 2 after flattening. A plurality ofupper cooling nozzles 51 and a plurality oflower cooling nozzles 52 are provided in the width direction of thesteel plate 2 in pairs in the vertical direction with respect to the transport line, and are arranged at a plurality of locations side by side at a predetermined pitch along the transport direction of thesteel plate 2. Coolingwater 53 is sprayed toward thesteel plate 2 from each of the cooling nozzles of theupper cooling nozzles 51 and thelower cooling nozzles 52. In addition, in thequenching device 5, each of restraint rolls 50 may be installed before and after theupper cooling nozzle 51 and thelower cooling nozzle 52. By providing therestraint roll 50, even when thesteel plate 2 is distorted due to cooling unevenness or the like, since thesteel plate 2 can be restrained to some extent, out-of-plane deformation can be prevented. - The
second flattening device 6 is a device for flattening thesteel plate 2 quenched by thequenching device 5, and is provided on the outlet side of the quenching device 5 (downstream side in the transport direction of the steel plate 2). As thesecond flattening device 6, a reduction type skin pass flattening device, a repeatedly bending type roller leveler flattening device, or a press type flattening device can be used. In addition, for the same reason as thefirst flattening device 4, it is preferable to use a roller leveler flattening device for thesecond flattening device 6. Furthermore, for the same reason as that of thefirst flattening device 4, in a case where the roller leveler flattening device is used, it is more preferable to further provide a press type flattening mechanism or the like capable of correcting the warp of the tip tail end portion of thesteel plate 2. In addition, thesecond flattening device 6 preferably has a high flattening reaction force in terms of performing flattening of thesteel plate 2 near room temperature, and preferably has a load capacity of at least 2000 tons. - In the manufacturing method for a steel plate according to the present embodiment, first, a
steel plate 2 having a predetermined thickness (for example, 30 mm) and width (for example, 2000 mm) is manufactured by hot rolling using a slab or the like as a material in a hot rolling line (not illustrated) different from the heat treatment equipment 1. Next, the hot-rolledsteel plate 2 is cooled to room temperature, and then the scale is removed by a surface scale removing device (not illustrated). - Furthermore, the
steel plate 2 from which the scale is removed is charged into theheating furnace 3 and heated to an austenite temperature range (for example, approximately 910°C) (heating step). - Thereafter, the
steel plate 2 is extracted from theheating furnace 3, is transported to thefirst flattening device 4 by a plurality of table rolls (not illustrated) installed on the outlet side of theheating furnace 3, and is flattened by the first flattening device 4 (first flattening step). - Here, the reason for installing the
first flattening device 4 in front of the quenching device 5 (on the upstream side in the transport direction of the steel plate 2) will be described below. As described above, thesteel plate 2 is hot-rolled in advance to a predetermined thickness and width on a hot rolling line different from the heat treatment equipment 1. At this time, in a case where there is a temperature deviation in thesteel plate 2 during rolling, since the degree of heat shrinkage in the process of cooling to room temperature differs depending on the portion of thesteel plate 2, a shape defect occurs after cooling. In the heat treatment equipment 1, since thesteel plate 2 is inserted into theheating furnace 3 with the shape defect occurring, the shape defect remains even when thesteel plate 2 is uniformly heated in theheating furnace 3. Even when such asteel plate 2 is extracted from theheating furnace 3 and heat-treated by thequenching device 5, the shape defect does not disappear, but rather the way the cooling water is applied is not uniform, and thus non-uniformity in temperature is promoted. Therefore, after heating in theheating furnace 3 that guarantees uniform heating, by flattening thesteel plate 2 with thefirst flattening device 4 and cooling thesteel plate 2 with thequenching device 5, it is possible to manufacture thesteel plate 2 with high flatness. That is, it is necessary to flatten the shape (initial shape) of thesteel plate 2 before entering thequenching device 5 to obtain the effect of the present invention. - In addition, in a case where the tip end portion of the
steel plate 2 is warped, there is a risk that thesteel plate 2 collides with the nozzle or the like of thequenching device 5. Therefore, thefirst flattening device 4 is preferably a roller leveler flattening device capable of repeated bending than a skin pass flattening device having a low flattening ability for the warp in the longitudinal direction generated at the tip tail end portion of thesteel plate 2. The roller leveler flattening device is a flattening machine that repeatedly bends with a plurality of rolls (for example, four on the upper surface and three on the lower surface), and the flattening effect is relatively low at a distance corresponding to the roll pitch. Therefore, in a case where a roller leveler flattening device is used, it is more preferable to further provide a press type flattening mechanism or the like capable of correcting the warp of the tip tail end portion of thesteel plate 2. - Furthermore, the temperature of the
steel plate 2 when flattening the shape by thefirst flattening device 4 is preferably in the range of the temperature Ar3 temperature ± 150°C at which the austenite of thesteel plate 2 is transformed into ferrite. By setting such a temperature, the yield stress of thesteel plate 2 is sufficiently low, and the reaction force when flattening the shape can be reduced. - After the first flattening step, the
steel plate 2 is quenched by the quenching device 5 (quenching step). - After the quenching step, the
steel plate 2 is flattened by the second flattening device 6 (second flattening step). In quenching (cooling) by thequenching device 5, it is difficult to control the flow rates of the coolingwater 53 ejected from theupper cooling nozzle 51 and thelower cooling nozzle 52 to be completely matched in the width direction. Therefore, there remains a risk of slight warpage due to temperature unevenness during quenching, and thus it is necessary to further flatten thesteel plate 2 with thesecond flattening device 6. In addition, it is preferable that the temperature of thesteel plate 2 is 100°C or lower when flattening by thesecond flattening device 6. - Hereinbefore, the present invention is described with reference to a specific embodiment, but it is not intended to limit the invention by these descriptions. By reference to the description of the invention, other embodiments of the present invention including various modification examples are apparent to those skilled in the art as well as the disclosed embodiment.

first flattening device 4 is lower than the load capacity of thesecond flattening device 6. - According to the above configuration of (2), the load capacity can be optimized according to the difference in deformation resistance due to the difference in the temperature of the steel plate, and since the
first flattening device 4 does not use a flattening device with a high load capacity, the initial equipment introduction cost is low. - (3) In the above configuration of (1) or (2), the temperature of the steel plate is in the range of Ar3 temperature ± 150°C when the steel plate is flattened by the

- (4) In any one of the above configurations (1) to (3), a temperature of the steel plate is 100°C or lower when the steel plate is flattened by the
second flattening device 6. - According to the above configuration of (4), since the flattening temperature is substantially room temperature, and after flattening, re-deformation due to heat shrinkage due to a further temperature drop does not occur, a good shape can be obtained.
- (5) In any one of the above configurations (1) to (4), the
first flattening device 4 and thesecond flattening device 6 are roller leveler flattening devices. - According to the above configuration of (5), it is possible to flatten the warp at the tip tail end portion of the steel plate. Therefore, it is possible not only to suppress the warp of the steel plate itself, but also to prevent contact with equipment such as a cooling nozzle constituting the
quenching device 5 when quenching. - (6) In any one of the above configurations (1) to (5), the quenching device quenches the steel plate by water cooling.
- (7) A method for manufacturing a steel plate according to another aspect of the present invention is a manufacturing method for a steel plate, in which the steel plate is heat-treated, and includes a heating step of heating the

- According to the above configurations (7) to (9), the same effects as those of the above configurations (1), (3), and (4) can be obtained.
- The examples performed by the present inventors will be described. In the examples, in the heat treatment equipment 1 illustrated in
FIG. 1 , a steel plate 2 (plate thickness 6 mm, 12 mm, 25 mm, 40 mm x plate width 3500 mm x plate length 7 m) in a room temperature state from which scale was removed by shot blasting in advance was heated in theheating furnace 3 to 900°C in a nitrogen atmosphere. Next, theheated steel plate 2 was extracted, thesteel plate 2 was flattened by the first flattening device 4 (roller leveler type), and quenched to 100°C or lower by thequenching device 5. The quenchedsteel plate 2 was shape-flattened again by thesecond flattening device 6. Thequenching device 5 used a spray nozzle as the cooling 51 and 52. The temperature of Ar3 of this material was 800°C, and the temperature of thenozzles steel plate 2 when extracted from theheating furnace 3 and flattened by thefirst flattening device 4 was approximately 860°C. - In the examples, the shape of the steel plate when the heat treatment of the
steel plate 2 was performed with the above equipment arrangement was investigated. In the investigation, when thesteel plate 2 was placed on the surface plate and the amount obtained by subtracting the plate thickness from the maximum height of thesteel plate 2 with respect to the surface plate surface (referred to as the amount of warpage) was measured, the results were as illustrated in Examples 1 to 4 in Table 1. The allowable value of the amount of warpage of thesteel plate 2 is 5 mm or less. For all thesteel plates 2 having a plate thickness of 6 mm, 12 mm, 25 mm, and 40 mm, the amount of warpage was 5 mm or less, and the shape was good (evaluation: o). - As comparative examples, the heat treatment was performed under the condition that neither the

The shape of the steel plate for the heat-treatedsteel plate 2 was investigated in the same manner as in the examples. Except for the above conditions, the heat treatment was performed under the same conditions as in the examples. As illustrated in Table 1, in Comparative Examples 1 to 12, the amount of warpage was larger than 5 mm under any of the conditions, and sufficient flatness could not be obtained as a product (evaluation: ×).[Table 1] Plate thickness First flattening device Second flattening device Warpage height Evaluation mm mm Ex. 1 6 Used Used 4 ∘ Ex. 2 12 Used Used 5 ∘ Ex.3 24 Used Used 3 ∘ Ex.4 40 Used Used 4 ∘ Comp.
