Description

2211-116 PROCESSING ELECTRICAL STEELS This invention relates to the
processing of steels for electromagnetic applications. Such steels are styled electrical steels and may contain up to 3.25% silicon, e.g. non-oriented silicon steel, but the invention also embraces such steels having no added silicon, so called "non-silicon" steels which only contain silicon in very low concentrations, e.g. <0.05% Conventionally, such steels produced via either an ingot route or a continuously cast route are rolled into hot band, descaled by pickling, cold rolled, continuously annealed in a decarburising atmosphere and then cold rolled again into the final gauge. An optional further anneal may be made, e.g. by the customer to minimise deterioration of magnetic properties.
The cold reduction is carried out in the presence of a lubricant which reduces the mill load and also acts as a mill coolant. In the second cold rolling stage this lubricant additionally includes a rust inhibitor necessary to protect the coil during storage and dispatch.
It is an object of this tnvention to provide a more economical process route for such steels whilst still maintaining an adequate degree of protection (against rusting) to the product during storage and dispatch.
The present invention provides a method of processing electrical steel by hot rolling cast stock into strip and coiling same, descaling and then cold rolling the. strip to its final gauge, continuously annealing said strip in a decarburising atmosphere, coating the strip with a corrosion inhibitor, and drying and coiling same for despatch.
Compared with the conventional process hitherto therefore, the second stage rolling, or extension pass, has been dispensed with and the provision of a rust inhibiting coating stage downstream of the annealing furnace has preserved the "coil protection" aspect.
Further, by dispensing with the separate second stage cold roll a better surface finish is maintained on the strip and with the coating developed for this process this finish is preserved for a longer period than hitherto and the strip surface i's much cleaner and brighter.
The slight reduciton in hardness of the strip, occasioned by dispensing with the second stage rolling, may be compensated by the use of steel grades having a higher phosphorus and/or manganese content.
The coating is preferably water-borne and oil free; one example of such a coating comprises a 1% solution in water of dicyclohexyl ammonium nitrite (typically the product VP1260) together with 0.1% of a wetting agent of the alcohol alkoxylate family (typically the product Synperonic LF/RA 30) having low foaming properties, and which does not react with or adversely affect the solubility of P1260. The solution is non-combustible and relatively non-toxic and cheap; further, it does not stain the strip.
It has been found that this solution readily wets the strip and has a relatively low temperature of evaporation thus leaving the VP1260 evenly distributed and bound to the strip surface by the "invisible" layer of Synperonic LF/RA 30.
The coating solution is applied to the strip in its dry state immediately on exiting from the continuous annealing furnace, via a pair of smooth coating rolls, whence it then passes through a drying oven before coiling.
A typical rate of usage is one gallon per tonne of steel strip of, say, 0. 65 mm gauge. Tests on stored coils have shown that over 40 mg/sq.m of the residual corrosion inhibitor was still present after a storage period of six weeks. The silicon content of the steel may conveniently be <0.6% preferably 0.051%.
