Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method of progressively heating ferritic sheet, more particularly in the form of strip, by induction.
  • the inductiveheating of sheet and strip is known to call for the observance of special conditions when thin sheet or strip is being heated, and more particularly if it is only 0.5 mm. or less, say 0.10 to 0.35 mm., thick.
  • the heating of sheet and strip may be necessary for various reasons. It is a treatment of outstanding importance in the production of tinned sheet or strip.
  • strip . (which term shall hereinafter and in the claims'ihereofbe understood to include sheet) has been galvanically tinned, the tin must be flowed on the strip.
  • the temperatures required for this purpose are under 500 C., more particularly between 200 and 300 C.
  • the power density should be less than 10 watts/sq. cm. and that the frequency should be 10,000 cycles per second.
  • the efficiencies that can then be achieved are, outstanding. This is due to the fact that the reduction in power density brings about a concomitant increase in permeability improving the susceptibility of the sheet above that of the surrounding air to such an extent that despite an indifferent coupling factor the greater part of the magnetic field emanating from the coil will be drawn into the strip.
  • the resultant electric coupling factor becomes more favourable, the efiiciency improves, and a favourable power factor ensues. Even in the case of strip only 0.15 mm. thick at good heating efficiency can be achieved even with a frequency of only 5000 cycles per second.
  • the method according to the invention especially if it is performed with the help of an inductor of the kind herein proposed and described permits ferritic sheet and strip to be satisfactorily heated in continuous progression with low installed power by the application of frequencies between 5000 and 10,000 cycles per second, to the temperatures required for flowing a previously applied coating of tin. Temperatures of 200 to 300 can be readily produced even if the velocity of travel is as high as metres per minute and even more.
  • Method of progressively inductively heating ferritic strip of a thickness not less than 0.10 mm. or more than 0.35 mm. to a temperature not less than 200 C. or more than 300 C. by means of at least one induction coil embracing the strip and operating with current at medium frequency, and at a power density of not exceeding 20 watts/ sq. cm.
  • An induction coil for carrying out the method according to claim 1, comprising conductor sections arranged to cross the sheet or strip at right angles in relation to its edges and having connecting portions to extend around the edges of the sheet or strip from one side to the other of the latter at an angle of pitch not less than 25.
