Description

本発明は、溶融金属めっき鋼帯の製造装置、および溶融金属めっき鋼帯の製造方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a molten metal-plated steel strip manufacturing apparatus and a method for manufacturing a molten metal-plated steel strip.

溶融金属めっき浴へ鋼帯を連続的に浸漬し、鋼帯表面にめっき処理を施す連続溶融めっきライン(CGL;Continuous Galvanizing Line)において、めっき浴へ鋼帯が浸漬される際に、浴面から浴中の鋼帯表面へ向かう巻き込み流れが発生することがある。これにより、浴面に浮遊する異物(スカム、ドロス等)が巻き込まれ、かかる異物が鋼帯表面に付着し、鋼帯に外観不良を生じさせる場合があった。 In a continuous hot-dip plating line (CGL; Continuus Galvanizing Line) in which a steel strip is continuously immersed in a hot-dip metal plating bath and the surface of the steel strip is plated, the steel strip is immersed in the plating bath from the bath surface. Entrainment flow toward the surface of the steel strip in the bath may occur. As a result, foreign matter (scum, dross, etc.) floating on the bath surface may be caught, and the foreign matter may adhere to the surface of the steel strip, causing the steel strip to have a poor appearance.

下記特許文献1には、スナウト内のめっき浴面にスナウトを浴内で包囲するU型遮蔽版を設置することにより、鋼帯表面へ異物の付着を防止する技術が記載されている。 Patent Document 1 below describes a technique for preventing foreign matter from adhering to the surface of a steel strip by installing a U-shaped shielding plate that surrounds the snout in the bath on the plating bath surface in the snout.

In the present specification and the drawings, components having substantially the same functional configuration are designated by the same reference numerals, so that duplicate description will be omitted.

<1.溶融金属めっき鋼帯の製造装置の構成>
まず、図1を参照しながら、本発明の一の実施形態に係る溶融金属めっき鋼帯の製造装置100の概略構成について説明する。図1は、本実施形態に係る溶融金属めっき鋼帯の製造装置100の概略構成の一例を示すレイアウト図である。
<1. Configuration of molten metal plated steel strip manufacturing equipment>
First, with reference to FIG. 1, a schematic configuration of a molten metal-plated steel strip manufacturing apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 is a layout diagram showing an example of a schematic configuration of a molten metal-plated steel strip manufacturing apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment.

図1に示すように、溶融金属めっき鋼帯の製造装置100は、鋼帯1をめっき浴101へ連続的に浸漬して、溶融金属めっき処理を行うことにより、鋼帯1の表面にめっき被膜を形成し、溶融金属めっき鋼帯10を製造するための装置である。溶融金属めっき鋼帯の製造装置100は、スナウト110と、溶融金属付与部121とを備える。 As shown in FIG. 1, the molten metal-plated steel strip manufacturing apparatus 100 continuously immerses the steel strip 1 in the plating bath 101 and performs a hot-dip metal plating treatment to coat the surface of the steel strip 1 with a plating film. It is an apparatus for forming a molten metal plated steel strip 10 and manufacturing a molten metal plated steel strip 10. The molten metal plated steel strip manufacturing apparatus 100 includes a snout 110 and a molten metal applying portion 121.

鋼帯1は、溶融金属Mによるめっき処理を施される対象となる金属帯の一例である。鋼帯1の種類は、特に限定されず、軟鋼や、高張力鋼であってもよい。 The steel strip 1 is an example of a metal strip to be plated with the molten metal M. The type of the steel strip 1 is not particularly limited, and may be mild steel or high-strength steel.

めっき槽102は、溶融金属Mからなるめっき浴101を貯留する。めっき浴101を構成する溶融金属Mとしては、例えば、Zn,Al,Sn,Pbの単体又はこれらの合金が挙げられる。あるいは、溶融金属Mは、これらの金属又は合金に、例えばSi,P等の非金属元素、Ca,Mg,Sr等の典型金属元素、Ti,V,Cr,Mn,Fe,Co,Ni,Cu等の遷移金属元素を含有するものも含まれる。以下の説明では、めっき浴101をなす溶融金属Mとして溶融亜鉛が用いられ、鋼帯1の表面に溶融亜鉛を付着させて、溶融金属めっき鋼帯10を製造する例について説明する。 The plating tank 102 stores a plating bath 101 made of molten metal M. Examples of the molten metal M constituting the plating bath 101 include simple substances of Zn, Al, Sn, and Pb, or alloys thereof. Alternatively, the molten metal M may be added to these metals or alloys, for example, non-metal elements such as Si and P, typical metal elements such as Ca, Mg and Sr, and Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni and Cu. Those containing transition metal elements such as, etc. are also included. In the following description, an example will be described in which hot-dip zinc is used as the hot-dip metal M forming the plating bath 101, and hot-dip zinc is adhered to the surface of the steel strip 1 to manufacture the hot-dip metal-plated steel strip 10.

スナウト110は、図示しない焼鈍炉の出口側に上端が接続され、下端がめっき浴101内に浸漬されて傾斜して設けられた管状の部材である。スナウト110は、鋼帯1を外方から覆っており、スナウト110の内部は非酸化性雰囲気とされている。これにより、焼鈍後の鋼帯1の表面と大気との接触を避け、酸化が抑制される。 The snout 110 is a tubular member having an upper end connected to the outlet side of an annealing furnace (not shown) and the lower end immersed in the plating bath 101 and inclined. The snout 110 covers the steel strip 1 from the outside, and the inside of the snout 110 has a non-oxidizing atmosphere. As a result, contact between the surface of the steel strip 1 after annealing and the atmosphere is avoided, and oxidation is suppressed.

スナウト110内には溶融金属付与部121が設けられる。溶融金属付与部121は、めっき浴101へ浸漬される前の鋼帯1に対して、所定の厚さの溶融金属を付与する。スナウト110および溶融金属付与部121についての詳細は後述する。 A molten metal applying portion 121 is provided in the snout 110. The molten metal applying portion 121 applies molten metal having a predetermined thickness to the steel strip 1 before being immersed in the plating bath 101. Details of the snout 110 and the molten metal applying portion 121 will be described later.

また、図1に示すように、本実施形態に係る溶融金属めっき鋼帯の製造装置100は、シンクロール103と、サポートロール105A、105Bと、ガスワイピングノズル107と、誘導加熱装置109とをさらに備える。 Further, as shown in FIG. 1, the molten metal-plated steel strip manufacturing apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment further includes a sink roll 103, support rolls 105A and 105B, a gas wiping nozzle 107, and an induction heating apparatus 109. Be prepared.

シンクロール103は、めっき浴101内の下方に配設される。シンクロール103は、サポートロール105A,105Bよりも大きい直径を有する。シンクロール103は、鋼帯1の搬送に伴って図示の時計回りに回転し、スナウト110を通ってめっき浴101内に斜め下方に向けて導入された鋼帯1の搬送方向を、鉛直方向上方へ変更する。 The sink roll 103 is arranged below in the plating bath 101. The sink roll 103 has a larger diameter than the support rolls 105A and 105B. The sink roll 103 rotates clockwise as shown by the transport of the steel strip 1, and vertically upward in the transport direction of the steel strip 1 introduced obliquely downward into the plating bath 101 through the snout 110. Change to.

サポートロール105A,105Bは、めっき浴101中のシンクロール103の上方に配設され、シンクロール103によって方向転換され、鉛直方向上方に引き上げられる鋼帯1を左右両側から挟み込む。サポートロール105A,105Bは、引き上げられる鋼帯1の振動を抑制する。サポートロール105A,105Bは、対にせずに1つだけであってもよいし、3つ以上設けられてもよい。あるいは、サポートロール105A,105Bの配置が省略されていてもよい。 The support rolls 105A and 105B are arranged above the sink roll 103 in the plating bath 101, are turned around by the sink roll 103, and sandwich the steel strip 1 that is pulled upward in the vertical direction from both the left and right sides. The support rolls 105A and 105B suppress the vibration of the steel strip 1 that is pulled up. There may be only one support roll 105A and 105B without pairing, or three or more support rolls 105A and 105B may be provided. Alternatively, the arrangement of the support rolls 105A and 105B may be omitted.

ガスワイピングノズル107は、鋼帯1に対する溶融金属Mの目付量を調節するために、鋼帯1の表面に空気等のガスを噴射する。ガスワイピングノズル107には、図示しないコンプレッサ等によって圧縮されたガスが導入される。ガスワイピングノズル107は、鋼帯1の厚み方向の両側に配置され、サポートロール105A,105Bよりも鋼帯1の搬送方向下流側であって、めっき浴101の浴面から所定の高さの位置に設けられる。係るガスワイピングノズル107から噴射されたガスは、めっき浴101から鉛直方向上方に引き上げられた鋼帯1の両面に吹き付けられ、余剰の溶融金属Mが掻き取られる。これにより、鋼帯1の表面に対する溶融金属Mの目付量が適正量に調整され、鋼帯1の表面に付着した溶融金属Mの膜厚が調節される。 The gas wiping nozzle 107 injects a gas such as air onto the surface of the steel strip 1 in order to adjust the basis weight of the molten metal M with respect to the steel strip 1. Gas compressed by a compressor or the like (not shown) is introduced into the gas wiping nozzle 107. The gas wiping nozzles 107 are arranged on both sides of the steel strip 1 in the thickness direction, are on the downstream side of the support rolls 105A and 105B in the transport direction of the steel strip 1, and are located at a predetermined height from the bath surface of the plating bath 101. It is provided in. The gas injected from the gas wiping nozzle 107 is sprayed on both surfaces of the steel strip 1 pulled upward in the vertical direction from the plating bath 101, and the excess molten metal M is scraped off. As a result, the basis weight of the molten metal M with respect to the surface of the steel strip 1 is adjusted to an appropriate amount, and the film thickness of the molten metal M adhering to the surface of the steel strip 1 is adjusted.

誘導加熱装置109は、ガスワイピングノズル107よりも鋼帯1の搬送方向下流側に設けられ、鋼帯1に対して熱処理を行う。具体的には、図示しない高周波電源に接続された誘導加熱コイルが、鋼帯1の厚み方向の両側に設けられる。誘導加熱装置109による加熱によって、鋼帯1の表面近傍の温度を500度程度まで上昇させ、鋼帯1の表面に付着した溶融金属Mと鋼帯1との間で合金化を生じさせる。これにより、合金化亜鉛めっき被膜が鋼帯1の表面に形成される。 The induction heating device 109 is provided on the downstream side of the steel strip 1 in the transport direction with respect to the gas wiping nozzle 107, and heat-treats the steel strip 1. Specifically, induction heating coils connected to a high-frequency power source (not shown) are provided on both sides of the steel strip 1 in the thickness direction. By heating by the induction heating device 109, the temperature near the surface of the steel strip 1 is raised to about 500 degrees, and alloying occurs between the molten metal M adhering to the surface of the steel strip 1 and the steel strip 1. As a result, an alloyed galvanized film is formed on the surface of the steel strip 1.

溶融金属めっき鋼帯の製造装置100における鋼帯1の通板速度は、生産性等の観点から適宜設定されればよく、特に限定されない。例えば、通板速度として、60〜240m/minが挙げられる。 The plate passing speed of the steel strip 1 in the molten metal-plated steel strip manufacturing apparatus 100 may be appropriately set from the viewpoint of productivity and the like, and is not particularly limited. For example, the plate passing speed may be 60 to 240 m / min.

上記構成の溶融金属めっき鋼帯の製造装置100の動作について説明する。溶融金属めっき鋼帯の製造装置100は、図示しない駆動源により鋼帯1を移動させ、装置内の各部を通板させる。かかる鋼帯1は、スナウト110を通じてめっき浴101中に斜め下方に向けて導入され、シンクロール103を周回して、搬送方向が鉛直方向上方に変更される。次いで、鋼帯1は、サポートロール105A,105Bの間を通過して上昇し、めっき浴101外に引き上げられる。その後、ガスワイピングノズル107から吹き付けられるガスの圧力により、鋼帯1に付着している余剰の溶融金属Mが掻き取られて、鋼帯1の表面に対する溶融金属Mの付着量が所定の目付量に調節される。続いて、誘導加熱装置109によって溶融金属Mと鋼帯1との間の合金化が促進され、鋼帯1の表面に合金化めっき被膜が形成される。以上のようにして、溶融金属めっき鋼帯の製造装置100は、鋼帯1をめっき浴101中に連続的に浸漬して、溶融金属Mをめっきすることにより、所定の目付量の溶融金属めっき鋼帯10を製造する。以上、本実施形態に係る溶融金属めっき鋼帯の製造装置100の概略構成について説明した。 The operation of the molten metal-plated steel strip manufacturing apparatus 100 having the above configuration will be described. In the molten metal-plated steel strip manufacturing apparatus 100, the steel strip 1 is moved by a drive source (not shown), and each part in the apparatus is passed through the plate. The steel strip 1 is introduced obliquely downward into the plating bath 101 through the snout 110, orbits the sink roll 103, and the transport direction is changed upward in the vertical direction. Next, the steel strip 1 passes between the support rolls 105A and 105B, rises, and is pulled out of the plating bath 101. After that, the excess molten metal M adhering to the steel strip 1 is scraped off by the pressure of the gas sprayed from the gas wiping nozzle 107, and the amount of the molten metal M adhering to the surface of the steel strip 1 is a predetermined grain amount. Is adjusted to. Subsequently, the induction heating device 109 promotes alloying between the molten metal M and the steel strip 1, and an alloyed plating film is formed on the surface of the steel strip 1. As described above, the molten metal-plated steel strip manufacturing apparatus 100 continuously immerses the steel strip 1 in the plating bath 101 to plate the molten metal M, thereby plating the molten metal with a predetermined grain amount. The steel strip 10 is manufactured. The schematic configuration of the molten metal-plated steel strip manufacturing apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment has been described above.

<2.巻き込み流れの発生>
続いて、図2を参照しながら、巻き込み流れの発生について説明する。図2は、従来の溶融金属めっき鋼帯の製造装置における巻き込み流れの発生の様子を模式的に示す説明図である。図2に示すように、鋼帯1は、スナウト110内を搬送され(図2中の白抜き矢印参照)、その後、めっき浴101へ浸漬される。このとき、鋼帯1は、めっき浴101の浴面近傍の溶融金属Mを巻き込みながら、めっき浴101内へと進入する。すなわち、搬送される鋼帯1とめっき浴101との接触によって、めっき浴101内には鋼帯1へ近づく方向の巻き込み流れ(図2中の矢印の流れ参照)が生じる。また、スナウト110内のめっき浴101の浴面近傍には、スナウト110内で発生した酸化物、またはめっき浴101中で生じたドロス等の異物Cが浮遊していることがある。このため、巻き込み流れによってめっき浴101の浴面近傍に浮遊していた異物Cが、鋼帯1の表面へ接近し、付着する。
<2. Occurrence of entrainment flow>
Subsequently, the occurrence of the entrainment flow will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram schematically showing a state of entrainment flow in a conventional molten metal-plated steel strip manufacturing apparatus. As shown in FIG. 2, the steel strip 1 is conveyed in the snout 110 (see the white arrow in FIG. 2) and then immersed in the plating bath 101. At this time, the steel strip 1 enters the plating bath 101 while involving the molten metal M near the bath surface of the plating bath 101. That is, the contact between the conveyed steel strip 1 and the plating bath 101 causes a entanglement flow (see the flow of the arrow in FIG. 2) in the direction of approaching the steel strip 1 in the plating bath 101. Further, in the vicinity of the bath surface of the plating bath 101 in the snout 110, oxides generated in the snout 110 or foreign matter C such as dross generated in the plating bath 101 may be suspended. Therefore, the foreign matter C suspended in the vicinity of the bath surface of the plating bath 101 approaches and adheres to the surface of the steel strip 1 due to the entrainment flow.

上記のような巻き込み流れの発生について本発明者らが鋭意検討したところ、めっき浴101へ浸漬される前の鋼帯1の表面に予め溶融金属Mを付与しておくことで、巻き込み流れの発生自体を抑制することが可能であることを知見した。かかる知見を踏まえ、以下、本実施形態に係る溶融金属付与機構120について説明する。 As a result of diligent studies by the present inventors regarding the generation of the entrainment flow as described above, the generation of the entrainment flow is generated by preliminarily applying the molten metal M to the surface of the steel strip 1 before being immersed in the plating bath 101. It was found that it is possible to suppress itself. Based on such knowledge, the molten metal applying mechanism 120 according to the present embodiment will be described below.

<3.溶融金属付与機構の構成>
図3は、本実施形態に係る溶融金属付与機構120の構成例を模式的に示す説明図である。溶融金属付与機構120は、溶融金属付与部121を介して鋼帯1の表面の全面に溶融金属Mを供給するための構成である。具体的には、図3に示すように、溶融金属付与機構120は、溶融金属付与部121と、ポンプ123と、タンク125とを有する。溶融金属付与部121は、鋼帯1の表面に所定の厚さ以上の溶融金属Mを付与する。特に、溶融金属付与部121は、所定の厚さ以上の膜状の溶融金属Mを鋼帯1の表面に付与する。
<3. Configuration of molten metal application mechanism>
FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram schematically showing a configuration example of the molten metal applying mechanism 120 according to the present embodiment. The molten metal applying mechanism 120 is configured to supply the molten metal M to the entire surface of the steel strip 1 via the molten metal applying portion 121. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, the molten metal applying mechanism 120 includes a molten metal applying portion 121, a pump 123, and a tank 125. The molten metal applying portion 121 applies the molten metal M having a predetermined thickness or more to the surface of the steel strip 1. In particular, the molten metal applying portion 121 applies a film-like molten metal M having a predetermined thickness or more to the surface of the steel strip 1.

ここで、鋼帯1に付与される溶融金属Mは、後述する、浸漬される前の鋼帯1の表面に付与された溶融金属Mによる巻き込み流れの抑制効果を生じさせる程度の量が付与されていればよい。例えば、溶融金属Mは、鋼帯1の表面の全面に均一に付与されていなくてもよく、鋼帯1に付与される溶融金属Mには、部分的に厚さにムラがあってもよい。なお、付与される溶融金属Mの量が多い場合やムラがある場合であっても、後工程である、めっき浴101への浸漬およびガスワインピングによって、鋼帯1のめっき膜は、所定の厚さに調整されることから品質上の問題とはならない。また、例えば、鋼帯1の表面が常に完全に被覆されている必要はなく、めっき浴101に浸漬される直前に巻き込み流れの抑制効果を生じさせる範囲で、溶融金属Mが鋼帯1の表面に付与されていればよい。 Here, the molten metal M applied to the steel strip 1 is provided with an amount sufficient to cause an effect of suppressing the entrainment flow by the molten metal M imparted to the surface of the steel strip 1 before being immersed, which will be described later. I just need to be there. For example, the molten metal M may not be uniformly applied to the entire surface of the steel strip 1, and the molten metal M applied to the steel strip 1 may have a partial thickness unevenness. .. Even if the amount of molten metal M to be applied is large or uneven, the plating film of the steel strip 1 can be made to be predetermined by the subsequent steps of immersion in the plating bath 101 and gas winding. Since it is adjusted to the thickness, it does not pose a quality problem. Further, for example, the surface of the steel strip 1 does not always have to be completely covered, and the molten metal M is the surface of the steel strip 1 to the extent that the effect of suppressing the entrainment flow is generated immediately before being immersed in the plating bath 101. It suffices if it is given to.

溶融金属付与部121は、スナウト110の内部であって、めっき浴101の浴面よりも上方に設けられる。また、溶融金属付与部121は、スナウト110における鋼帯1の搬送方向の出口側に設けられる。ここで、出口側とは、スナウト110の全長の半分の位置より、スナウト110の出口111に近い側の領域を指す。特に、出口側とは、スナウト110の出口111からスナウト110の全長の1/3の距離までの領域を指す。また、溶融金属付与部121は、スナウト110がめっき浴101へ傾斜して挿入された領域内に設けられる。溶融金属付与部121のスナウト110の出口側における位置は、溶融金属Mの付与位置と浴面との距離が十分に近ければよく、特に限定されない。溶融金属付与部121が、スナウト110の出口側に設けられることで、溶融金属Mの付与位置からめっき浴101の浴面までの距離が短くなり、鋼帯1に付与された溶融金属Mの液だれ、固化が抑制される。 The molten metal applying portion 121 is provided inside the snout 110 and above the bath surface of the plating bath 101. Further, the molten metal applying portion 121 is provided on the outlet side of the steel strip 1 in the snout 110 in the transport direction. Here, the exit side refers to a region on the side closer to the exit 111 of the snout 110 than the position of half of the total length of the snout 110. In particular, the exit side refers to a region from the exit 111 of the snout 110 to a distance of 1/3 of the total length of the snout 110. Further, the molten metal applying portion 121 is provided in a region in which the snout 110 is inserted in an inclined manner into the plating bath 101. The position of the molten metal applying portion 121 on the outlet side of the snout 110 is not particularly limited as long as the distance between the applied position of the molten metal M and the bath surface is sufficiently close. By providing the molten metal applying portion 121 on the outlet side of the snout 110, the distance from the applied position of the molten metal M to the bath surface of the plating bath 101 is shortened, and the liquid of the molten metal M applied to the steel strip 1 is shortened. Who suppresses solidification.

溶融金属付与部121は、例えば、鋼帯1の両面(一の面1Aと他の面1B)に対向する位置にそれぞれ設けられた一対のダイコータ121A、121Bである。一対のダイコータ121A,121Bは、溶融金属Mを上下リップの間から吐出し、鋼帯1の表面に付与する。溶融金属Mの吐出速度は、鋼帯1の搬送速度と同程度か、鋼帯1の搬送速度以上に設定される。溶融金属付与部121として、ダイコータを用いることにより、鋼帯1の表面に安定して溶融金属Mを付与することができる。 The molten metal applying portion 121 is, for example, a pair of die coaters 121A and 121B provided at positions facing both surfaces (one surface 1A and the other surface 1B) of the steel strip 1. The pair of die coaters 121A and 121B discharge the molten metal M from between the upper and lower lips and apply it to the surface of the steel strip 1. The discharge speed of the molten metal M is set to be about the same as the transport speed of the steel strip 1 or higher than the transport speed of the steel strip 1. By using a die coater as the molten metal applying portion 121, the molten metal M can be stably applied to the surface of the steel strip 1.

ポンプ123は、溶融金属付与部121へ溶融金属Mを所定の圧力で供給する。また、タンク125は、溶融金属Mを貯留する。タンク125に貯留される溶融金属Mは、めっき槽102に貯留される溶融金属Mと同等または、より異物の少ない状態とされる。なお、溶融金属付与部121へ溶融金属Mを供給する構成は、特に限定されず、めっき浴101から溶融金属Mを汲み上げて、溶融金属付与部121へ供給してもよい。 The pump 123 supplies the molten metal M to the molten metal applying portion 121 at a predetermined pressure. Further, the tank 125 stores the molten metal M. The molten metal M stored in the tank 125 is in a state equivalent to or less foreign matter than the molten metal M stored in the plating tank 102. The configuration for supplying the molten metal M to the molten metal applying portion 121 is not particularly limited, and the molten metal M may be pumped up from the plating bath 101 and supplied to the molten metal applying portion 121.

引き続き、図3を参照しながら、溶融金属付与部121による溶融金属Mの付与について説明する。図3に示すように、溶融金属付与部121としてのダイコータ121A,121Bによって溶融金属Mが付与された状態で、鋼帯1がめっき浴101へ進入する。このとき、鋼帯1には、溶融金属Mが予め付与されていることから、鋼帯1が浴面に到達しても鋼帯1とめっき浴101との間に巻き込み流れが生じない。さらに、鋼帯1に付与された溶融金属Mによって、鋼帯1の表面から離間する方向(図3に示す矢印の流れ参照)の流れが生じる。この結果、めっき浴101の浴面近傍を巻き込む流れ自体の発生が抑制される。 Subsequently, with reference to FIG. 3, the application of the molten metal M by the molten metal application unit 121 will be described. As shown in FIG. 3, the steel strip 1 enters the plating bath 101 in a state where the molten metal M is applied by the die coaters 121A and 121B as the molten metal applying portion 121. At this time, since the molten metal M is previously attached to the steel strip 1, even if the steel strip 1 reaches the bath surface, no entrainment flow occurs between the steel strip 1 and the plating bath 101. Further, the molten metal M applied to the steel strip 1 causes a flow in a direction away from the surface of the steel strip 1 (see the flow of the arrow shown in FIG. 3). As a result, the generation of the flow itself involving the vicinity of the bath surface of the plating bath 101 is suppressed.

さらに、図4を参照しながら、付与される溶融金属Mの所定の厚さt2について説明する。図4は、本実施形態に係る溶融金属の厚さを模式的に示す説明図である。本発明者らが溶融金属Mの付与条件について鋭意検討したところ、図4に示すように、付与される溶融金属Mの厚さt2を鋼帯1の随伴流の厚さt1以上とすることで、鋼帯1をめっき浴101へ浸漬させた際の巻き込む流れの発生が抑制されることが明らかとなった。ここで、鋼帯1の随伴流とは、めっき浴101中で鋼帯1の搬送に伴って、鋼帯1の周囲に生じている流れを指す。本発明者らが、実験によって得た知見によれば、随伴流の厚さは、以下の計算式(1)で求められる。 Further, with reference to FIG. 4, a predetermined thickness t2 of the molten metal M to be applied will be described. FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram schematically showing the thickness of the molten metal according to the present embodiment. When the present inventors diligently studied the conditions for applying the molten metal M, as shown in FIG. 4, the thickness t2 of the applied molten metal M was set to be equal to or greater than the thickness t1 of the accompanying flow of the steel strip 1. , It has been clarified that the generation of entrainment flow when the steel strip 1 is immersed in the plating bath 101 is suppressed. Here, the accompanying flow of the steel strip 1 refers to a flow generated around the steel strip 1 as the steel strip 1 is conveyed in the plating bath 101. According to the findings obtained by the present inventors through experiments, the thickness of the accompanying flow can be calculated by the following formula (1).

δ=32.275×V0.5・・・(1)
ここで、
δ:厚さ(μm)

である。
δ = 32.275 × V 0.5 ... (1)
here,
δ: Thickness (μm)
V: Steel strip transport speed (m / min)
Is.

なお、付与される溶融金属Mの厚さt1は、溶融金属Mの付与の前後での厚さ変化から求める。具体的には、溶融金属付与部121の上流側および下流側の近傍で、鋼帯1の両面に対してレーザ変位計を設置する。かかるレーザ変位計の測定結果から、厚さ変化の差分を、付与された溶融金属Mの厚さt1の鋼帯1の両面での和とする。かかる和の値を2で割ることで、付与された溶融金属Mの厚さt1が求められる。厚さ測定の代表位置として板幅方向の中心点の1点を測定する。また、厚さの測定に際し、板幅方向に沿って数点測定してもよい。 The thickness t1 of the molten metal M to be applied is obtained from the change in thickness before and after the application of the molten metal M. Specifically, laser displacement meters are installed on both sides of the steel strip 1 in the vicinity of the upstream side and the downstream side of the molten metal applying portion 121. From the measurement result of the laser displacement meter, the difference in the thickness change is defined as the sum of the thickness t1 of the applied molten metal M on both sides of the steel strip 1. By dividing the value of the sum by 2, the thickness t1 of the applied molten metal M can be obtained. One point of the center point in the plate width direction is measured as a representative position for thickness measurement. Further, when measuring the thickness, several points may be measured along the plate width direction.

浴内で鋼帯1の周囲に生じている随伴流の量(厚さδ)以上の溶融金属Mを付与することで、鋼帯1がめっき浴101に進入する際、すでに随伴流と同様な流れが鋼帯1の周囲に生じることとなる。この結果、鋼帯1とめっき浴101との間の巻き込み流れの発生が抑制される。このように溶融金属付与部121によって付与される溶融金属Mの厚さを、上記式(1)により求められる厚さ以上とすることで、巻き込み流れの発生自体が抑制される。 By applying the molten metal M equal to or larger than the amount (thickness δ) of the accompanying flow generated around the steel strip 1 in the bath, when the steel strip 1 enters the plating bath 101, it is already the same as the accompanying flow. A flow will be generated around the steel strip 1. As a result, the generation of entrainment flow between the steel strip 1 and the plating bath 101 is suppressed. By setting the thickness of the molten metal M applied by the molten metal applying portion 121 to be equal to or greater than the thickness required by the above formula (1), the occurrence of entrainment flow itself is suppressed.

また、付与される溶融金属Mの厚さを上記式(1)で求められる厚さδ以上とすることで、鋼帯1から離間する方向の流れを効果的に発生させることができ、異物の巻き込みが抑制される。すなわち、十分な量の溶融金属Mを鋼帯1の表面に付与することで、鋼帯1が、めっき浴101へ浸漬された際、鋼帯1の周囲に発生する鋼帯1から離間する流れを大きくすることができる。 Further, by setting the thickness of the molten metal M to be applied to be equal to or greater than the thickness δ obtained by the above formula (1), it is possible to effectively generate a flow in the direction away from the steel strip 1, and it is possible to effectively generate a flow of foreign matter. Entrainment is suppressed. That is, by applying a sufficient amount of molten metal M to the surface of the steel strip 1, when the steel strip 1 is immersed in the plating bath 101, a flow separated from the steel strip 1 generated around the steel strip 1. Can be increased.

さらに、溶融金属Mを付与する量を上記式(1)に基づいて算出することで、通板速度に応じた最適な溶融金属Mの付与量を設定することができる。 Further, by calculating the amount of the molten metal M to be applied based on the above formula (1), the optimum amount of the molten metal M to be applied can be set according to the plate passing speed.

また、溶融金属Mの所定の厚さは、100μm以上であってもよい。溶融金属Mの厚さを100μm以上という所定の値とすることで、通板速度などの製造条件がわずかに変化しても、巻き込み流れの抑制を確実に行うことができる。以上、本実施形態に係る溶融金属付与機構120について説明した。 Further, the predetermined thickness of the molten metal M may be 100 μm or more. By setting the thickness of the molten metal M to a predetermined value of 100 μm or more, it is possible to reliably suppress the entrainment flow even if the manufacturing conditions such as the plate passing speed are slightly changed. The molten metal applying mechanism 120 according to the present embodiment has been described above.

<4. Manufacturing method>
Next, a method for manufacturing the molten metal-plated steel strip 10 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6. FIG. 5 is a flowchart of a method for manufacturing the molten metal plated steel strip 10 according to the present embodiment. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a molten metal applying step in the method for manufacturing the molten metal plated steel strip 10 according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 5, first, in the snout 110, the molten metal M is applied to the surface of the steel strip 1 before being immersed in the plating bath 101 (S100). In the step of applying the molten metal M in step S100, specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, a predetermined thickness is calculated by the above formula (1) based on the transport speed of the steel strip 1 (S101). ). The molten metal M having a thickness equal to or greater than the predetermined thickness calculated in step S101 is applied to the steel strip 1 before being immersed in the plating bath 101 (S103). After that, returning to the flowchart shown in FIG. 5, the steel strip 1 to which the molten metal M is applied in step S100 is immersed in the plating bath 101 (S110). The method for manufacturing the molten metal-plated steel strip 10 according to the present embodiment has been described above.

(作用効果)
本実施形態によれば、めっき浴101に浸漬される前の鋼帯1に所定の厚さ以上の溶融金属Mが付与されることで、鋼帯1がめっき浴101に浸漬され始めたときに生じるめっき浴面近傍を巻き込む流れの発生自体が抑制される。これにより、めっき浴101の浴面近傍に浮遊する異物が、巻き込み流れによって鋼帯1の表面へ付着することが抑制される。この結果、溶融金属めっき鋼帯10の外観不良の発生が抑制される。
(Action effect)
According to the present embodiment, when the molten metal M having a predetermined thickness or more is applied to the steel strip 1 before being immersed in the plating bath 101, the steel strip 1 starts to be immersed in the plating bath 101. The generation of the flow itself that entrains the vicinity of the plating bath surface is suppressed. As a result, foreign matter floating near the bath surface of the plating bath 101 is suppressed from adhering to the surface of the steel strip 1 due to the entrainment flow. As a result, the occurrence of poor appearance of the molten metal plated steel strip 10 is suppressed.

本発明に係る溶融金属めっき鋼帯の製造装置100および溶融金属めっき鋼帯10の製造方法について性能を評価するため、めっき浴101内で鋼帯1の周囲に生じる流れについて、流体解析によるシミュレーションを行った。 In order to evaluate the performance of the molten metal-plated steel strip manufacturing apparatus 100 and the molten metal-plated steel strip 10 manufacturing method according to the present invention, a simulation by fluid analysis is performed on the flow generated around the steel strip 1 in the plating bath 101. went.

具体的には、溶融亜鉛のめっき浴101へ鋼帯1を進入させた場合における、浴面に浮遊する異物を模した粒子の軌跡をシミュレーションによって求めた。計算条件としては、板厚1mm程度の鋼帯1を所定の搬送速度で、めっき浴101へ進入させた場合とした。図7は、比較例として、めっき浴101へ鋼帯1が浸漬される前に溶融金属Mを付与しなかった場合のシミュレーション結果を示す図である。図8は、実施例として、めっき浴101へ鋼帯1が浸漬される前に溶融金属Mを付与した場合のシミュレーション結果を示す図である。 Specifically, the locus of particles imitating foreign matter floating on the bath surface was obtained by simulation when the steel strip 1 was allowed to enter the molten zinc plating bath 101. The calculation condition was a case where the steel strip 1 having a plate thickness of about 1 mm was brought into the plating bath 101 at a predetermined transport speed. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a simulation result when the molten metal M is not applied before the steel strip 1 is immersed in the plating bath 101 as a comparative example. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a simulation result when the molten metal M is applied to the plating bath 101 before the steel strip 1 is immersed in the plating bath 101 as an example.

図7に示すように、比較例では、巻き込み流れによって、浴面近傍に浮遊していた粒子が鋼帯1に近づく方向へ移動し、鋼帯1に随伴する軌跡となった。一方、実施例では、図8に示すように、巻き込み流れは発生せず、浴面近傍に浮遊していた粒子は、浴面近傍で周回しながら、そのまま滞留する軌跡となった。 As shown in FIG. 7, in the comparative example, the particles suspended in the vicinity of the bath surface moved in the direction approaching the steel strip 1 due to the entrainment flow, and became a locus accompanying the steel strip 1. On the other hand, in the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, the entrainment flow did not occur, and the particles suspended in the vicinity of the bath surface became a locus in which the particles stayed as they were while orbiting in the vicinity of the bath surface.

さらに、巻き込み流れによる浴面近傍の異物の巻き込みを評価した。評価方法として、鋼帯1から10〜50mm程度の位置の浴面近傍に異物を模した粒子を配置して、鋼帯1の流れに随伴する個数の割合を算出した。ここで、粒子巻き込み割合は、めっき浴101に配置した全粒子数に対する鋼帯1に随伴した粒子数の割合を示す。 Furthermore, the entrainment of foreign matter near the bath surface due to the entrainment flow was evaluated. As an evaluation method, particles imitating foreign substances were arranged near the bath surface at a position of about 10 to 50 mm from the steel strip 1, and the ratio of the number of particles accompanying the flow of the steel strip 1 was calculated. Here, the particle entrainment ratio indicates the ratio of the number of particles associated with the steel strip 1 to the total number of particles arranged in the plating bath 101.

Figure 2021130838
Figure 2021130838

表1に示すように、比較例1では、88%程度の異物が、通板される鋼帯1に随伴した。また、通板速度を上昇させた、比較例2〜4においては、ほぼすべての異物が、通板される鋼帯1に随伴した。 As shown in Table 1, in Comparative Example 1, about 88% of foreign matter was associated with the steel strip 1 to be passed through. Further, in Comparative Examples 2 to 4 in which the plate passing speed was increased, almost all foreign substances were associated with the steel strip 1 through which the plate was passed.

一方、実施例1〜4では、いずれの通板速度においても、異物は、鋼帯1に随伴しなかった。このように、本実施例によれば、めっき浴101に浸漬される前の鋼帯1に溶融金属Mを付与することで巻き込み流れの発生自体が抑制され、異物の鋼帯1への付着が抑制されることが示された。 On the other hand, in Examples 1 to 4, the foreign matter did not accompany the steel strip 1 at any of the plate passing speeds. As described above, according to the present embodiment, by applying the molten metal M to the steel strip 1 before being immersed in the plating bath 101, the generation of entrainment flow itself is suppressed, and foreign matter adheres to the steel strip 1. It was shown to be suppressed.
