Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method and device for pickling of a metal, in particular, steel strip fed to a regulated pickling process.
- DE 197 43 022 A1 discloses a method of pickling a metal strip based on a measurement in the displacement direction after the pickling plant and in which according to defect categories, which are determined by a measuring unit, pickling parameters such as, e.g., temperature of the pickling liquid, displacement speed of the metal strip, acid content in the pickling liquid, metal content, in particular, iron content, strip parameters such as, e.g., material and geometrical dimension, are adjusted.
- pickling parameters such as, e.g., temperature of the pickling liquid, displacement speed of the metal strip, acid content in the pickling liquid, metal content, in particular, iron content, strip parameters such as, e.g., material and geometrical dimension.
- the defects can only be subsequently determined as well as a conclusion made as to favorable pickling.
- the control system deals only with the pickling plant itself.
- a further method of pickling a rolled strip in a pickling plant is disclosed in EP-0 602 437 B1.
- the method is based on a particular operating mode according to which several pickling vats adjoin each other one after the other.
- an acid-containing pickling medium is sprayed by spraying nozzles arranged on a vat partially sidewise of, above and below the strip displacement plane, with the nozzles being variably controlled and with the pickling medium being introduced in an arbitrary preselected amount.
- the acid concentration, and/or medium temperature, and/or the outlet speed of the pickling medium from nozzles are preselected.
- An object of the invention is to carry out the pickling process not only on the basis of conventional pickling parameters but rather taking into consideration additional parameters outside of the pickling vat.
- this object is achieved by regulating the pickling process, in addition to the pickling medium parameters, by parameters of a coil and/or metal strip determined and/or measured before the metal strip enters the pickling section.
- the advantage consists in that the pickling parameters are so adjusted in advance that under- or over-pickling is prevented, in that the acid concentration and the acid supply are correctly adjusted, whereby the pickling medium is economically used, and in that the correct temperature can be calculated in advance, together with other adjustable pickling parameters.
- the scale which is removed after casting, shaping, and annealing, and other coatings are already taken into consideration.
- the invention also takes into consideration the preliminary breaking of the scale (by a stretching-bending-straightening leveller), whereby fissures and pores are formed in the scale layer, which increases the surface on which the acid acts.
- the scale quantity which is dissolved in the pickling process, is reduced.
- the preliminary descaling permits to reduce pickling time.
- the temperature of the metal strip increases before the strip enters in the pickling section, the contact time of the strip surface with the pickling medium increases at an optimal pickling temperatures.
- the heating path of the metal strip is shortened and the pickling time falls.
- the pickling time also falls when the scale is removed by laser-optical means before the strip enters the pickling section, and the quantity of the to-be-dissolved scale is reduced.
- the method includes preadjustment of the pickling process in accordance with measured values of a coil effected on a basis of a set-up computation model, and regulating the process on a basis of a regulating computation model that takes into consideration at least measured values for the scale, strip temperature, pickling medium temperature, and/or acid concentration.
- the quantity of the scale e.g., needs not to be assessed, as was the case previously.
- An integration of the additional scale calculation model takes place.
- a target variable of such optimization can be: minimum energy use, variable coil output, acceleration reaction dependent on the surface contamination, minimizing the consumption of the pickling medium and losses of the pickling medium, minimizing overpickling, and minimizing underpickling.
- measurement units for determining scaling can determine thickness of the scale layer, shape, distribution and color. To this end, precise calculation models are used.
- the servo components of the pickling section are regulated or readjusted based on a measured value for the scale deposit before the pickling section. This makes possible regulation of the pickling section with a least possible transit time.
- additional measured values for scale deposits or coating are determined in a region in a displacement direction in front of the pickling section, and are used for readjustment of the servo components of the pickling section and/or dependent on measured and/or calculated values.
- the measured values for the coating or the scale are used for regulation of a pretreatment unit arranged upstream of the pickling section.
- the object of the invention is achieved by communicating measured values from coil measured value or data transducers via a set-up computation model and a regulating computation model to adjustment units of a pickling section.
- the pickling section can be operated with precise regulation which results in the above-discussed advantages.
- measured value from coil measured value transducers are input into the regulating computation model.
- the set-up computation model uses general entrance data for the metal strip.
- the scale deposits can be calculated by using a trial computation model for effecting preliminary adjustment of the slow and rapid servo components of the pickling section or readjustment in accordance with comparison.
- the measured values of a measured value transducer for coating or scale are used for readjustment of the servo components of the pickling section.
- a pretreatment unit the measured values of which are input into the regulating computation model, is arranged upstream of the pickling section.
- the pretreatment unit can influence the pickling time.
- a heating unit a mechanical, abrasive, hydromechanical, laser-optical, or oscillating descaler can be used.

- coil data 4 from a data transducer 4 a and a data transducer 4 b are introduced into a set-up computation model 6 and/or into a regulation computation model 8 and are processed in accordance with the program.
- the set-up computation model 6 further measured values 7 can be taken into consideration.
- the pickling process is regulated, in addition to the pickling medium parameters, before the metal strip 1 is fed into the pickling section 3 , by parameters of the coil 2 and/or the metal strip 1 which were determined, in the system 5 , with servo components and/or measured.
- a pretreatment unit H which influences the pickling time
- the slow and rapid servo components of the pickling section 3 are readjusted in accordance with measured and/or calculated values output by the regulating computation model 8 , in particular, taking into consideration the changed pickling times.
- additional measured value of the scale deposits and coatings is determined by the measured value transducer M of the scale registration unit 10 located in front of the pickling section 3 in the displacement direction 9 , and is used for readjusting of the servo components of the pickling section 3 and/or in accordance with measured and calculated values.
- the pickling times are regulated on the basis of the strip inlet information of the coiler 2 and the system set-up.
- the acquired measured values with respect to coating and scale are used for regulating a pretreatment unit H located upstream of the pickling section 3 .
- an induction heating unit W is provided between the pickling section 3 and the pretreatment unit H.
- the pickling time is defined as a contact time of a to-be-cleaned surface with the pickling medium necessary for a reliable removal of the contamination from the strip 1 .
- the pretreatment unit H can include a preheating unit in form of the induction heating unit W.
- the pretreatment unit H basically includes a mechanical, abrasive, hydromechanical, laser-optical, or oscillating descaler.
- the induction preheating of the metal strip by the induction heating unit W is effected before the pickling section and serves for a rapid regulation of the metal strip and pickling medium temperatures.
