This invention relates to annealing and coating a base with a metal, and is particularly useful for continuously annealing and coating a rolled strip with a metal, such as tin, in the continuous manufacture of tin plate, although the invention has many other applications. I
I provide for annealing a base and coating it with a metal by subjecting the base to coat-. lnglmetal which is at a temperature at least as lgh as the annealing temperature of the base and cooling the same to a lower tem-,
absence of oxygen. The process is preferably carried out by immersing the base in a bath of coating metal, a
is maintained at a temperature above the annealing temperature of the base, and while the base is still immersed in the bath, moving it to a portion of the bath which is at a temperature lower than the annealing point. The strip enters the cooler portion of the bath and passes to the hotter passes to a cooler portion of the bath, giving up the heat it has absorbed, and then passes In the accompanyin draw' illustratin two embodiments of the inve n t i on, g
Figure 1 is a vertical section through an apparatus emplo 'ng a relatively deep and narrow bath, an
Figure 2 is a similar view through an apparatus employing a relatively long and shalow bath.
Referring first to Figure 1 there is shown a relatively deep and narrow bath 2 provided with heatin means 3 at the bottom portion and almost filled with a molten coating metal 4, such as-tin. The top of the bath is'divided into two parts by a division wall 5. A suit able flux 6 isplaced on one side of the division wall and palm-oil 7 is provided on the other side.
The temperature of the portion is preferably maintained at about 450 F., while the bottom of the bath adja cent the heater is maintained at a temperature which is approximately the annealing temperature of the base, which in this case is rolled steel. The boiling point of tin is perature. Bafiles 8 are the bath there is provided the bath.

well above this temperature, so that it is entirel feasible to maintain the lower portion 0 the bath at above the annealing temprovided for impedlng circulation in the bath, thus permitting maintenance of a desired temperature gradient through the bath heat. A cooler 9 is used at the top of the bath to maintainthe desired temperature at that point. 7 1
Figure 2 illustrates an embodiment of the moving portions of the base strip areadjacent without undue loss of invention wherein a relatively long and shallow bath is employed. The coating metal 20 is contained in a tank 21 having a row of burners 22 therebeneath. Each burner is provided with a regulating valve 23 so that the desired heat condition along the bath may be maintained. Cross walls 24 are provided adjacent each end of the bath so as to leave bath portions 25 for the reception of flux 26 and palm oil 27 at the entering and leaving ends respectively of the apparatus. A metal base 28 passes over guides 29 which guide it downwardly through the flux into the bath of molten tin and then upwardly through the palm oil.
In order to prevent oxidation of the tin, it is covered by a hood 30 suspended from chains 31. Conduits 32 are provided at either end of the hood 30. These conduits permit of supplying an inert gas, such as nitrogen, above the bath so as to prevent oxidation. The ends of the hood 30 terminate adjacent the cross walls 24, and the small-space in between the hood and the cross walls and between the side walls'of the hood and the tank is filled wi th palm oil, as indicated at 33 so as to el-lmlnate any possibility of oxidation there.
' In operation only a relatively small num ber of the burners 22 will be.empl0yed after the apparatus. has once been brought up to the desired temperature. The burners will he so ad'usted that the central portion of the bath is ept hottest.
The assage of the base through the bath will in uce a flow of tin from left to right in the bath as viewed in the drawing. A byass 34 making connection with the bath adacent the ends of the hood 30 is provided so that the hot tin may flow from the bath at the right hand end back through the conduit to the left hand end of the bath. A cooler 35 is provided for maintaining the tin at the proper temperature.
While I have illustrated preferred embodiments of the invention, it will be understood that the invention is not thus limited, since it may be otherwise practiced or embodied within the scope of the following claims.
I claim: 1. The method of .annealing a base and coating it with a metal, which includes immersing the base in a bath of coating metal at an initial temperature below the annealing temperature of the base, subjecting the.
base while it is still immersed'in the bath to a temperature at least as high as the annealing temperature of .the base, and while the base is still immersed in the bath, cooling it below the annealing temperature.
2. The method of annealing a" base and coating it with a metal, which includes ima mersing the base in a bath of coatingmetal at an initial'temperature be1ow*thev-.annealing temperature of the base,'subjecting the r .is still immersed in the bath, and utilizing the heat given up during the cooling step to assist in heating other base materia 3. The method of annealing a baseand' coating it with a metal, which includes im- -mersing the base in a bath of coating metal,
maintaining one portion of the bath at a temperature at least as high as the annealing temperature of the base, trance and exit of the bath to a lower temperature.
4. The method of annealing a. base and coating it with a metal, which includes immersing the base in a coating metal bath, maintaining a portion of thebath at a temperature at least as high as the, annealing temperature of the base, cooling the entrance and exit portions of the bath below the annealing temperature to cool the base while it .is still immersed in the coating bath, and
withdrawing it whilethus cooled.
