Definitions

  • a continuous annealing facilities substantially comprising the following devices:
  • This invention relates to a novel continuous annealing apparatus which is particularly useful for obtaining good drawability of steel sheet.
  • This invention is developed to comply with said desires.
  • the features thereof lie in an arrangement in which a rapid cooling chamber and a shelf treating zone are provided between a heating zone and a cooling zone in the ordinary continuous annealing facilities.
  • An object of this invention is to provide a novel and improved continuous annealing apparatus which is particularly useful for obtaining good drawability of steel sheet.
  • Another object of this invention is to provide a novel and improved continuous annealing apparatus having a high productivity which can not bear comparison with the ordinary batch type or open coil annealing furnace for deep-drawing steel sheet.
  • a further object of this invention is to provide a novel and improved continuous annealing apparatus having entirely uniform mechanical properties in which it is possible to make a steel sheet having entirely uniform mechanical properties which is extending over the whole length and width of steel strip. Such a steel could not be made by said batch type or open coil annealing furnace.
  • FIG. 1 is an enlarged vertical sectional view of a portion of the present apparatus facilities shown in, and
  • FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a portion of a continuous annealing line, which is this invention.
  • A shows a heating zone; B, a soaking zone; C, a shelf treating zone; and D, a cooling zone.
  • 5 is a rapid cooling chamber.
  • the rapid cooling rate in said chamber 5 should be more than 50 C per second. According to many experiments, it is confirmed that the greater said rapid cooling rate is, the greater is the drawability of the steel.
  • a desireable heating temperature at starting point of said rapid cooling is within the range of 710 C from 800 C. In other words, such a rapid cooling rate as carbide is impossible to be precipitated while cooling is needed.
  • Said shelf treating temperature is 300 to 500 C and shelf treating time is more than seconds.
  • FIG. 1 is an embodiment of said rapid cooling chamber 5 shown in FIG. 2.
  • said chamber 5 water, oils such as light oil, lump oil and sealing oil, low grade alcohol such as ethanol, methanol and propane], refrigerants such as ammonia and freon and liquefied gassuch as liquid nitrogen is possible to be employed as the coolant respectively. Both latent heat and sensible heat of such coolants are high. Accordingly, cooling efficiency is very good. It is needless to say that these cooling agents do not compound with the steel, do not remain on the surface of the steel and are harmless to men.
  • steel strip 1 is passed through from soaking zone 22 to slow cooling zone 18 along an imaginary line 23.
  • a rapid cooling chamber 5 is arranged, and simultaneously said slow cooling zone 18 is controlled to hold at a constant temperature, i.e., 300 to 500 C, for at least ten seconds'.
  • the entry side and delivery side of said rapid cooling chamber 5 should be sealed respectively. That is, sealing portion 7 and seal roll 6 are provided.
  • Steel strip 1 is passed through said chamber 5 by openings 4 and over guide rollers 10. Many groups of spray nozzle 9 are provided on both sides and extend over the whole width of said strip 1.
  • the atmosphere is fed into pipes 19 of slow cooling zone 18 as the slow cooling means.
  • the exhaust gas from said heating zone 22 is fed into said pipe 19 in place of the atmosphere.
  • said shelf treating of steel strip is possible to be carried out with ease. If an existing slow cooling zone is employed as a shelf treating zone, it is enough to divide said zone into two portion, i.e., portions 18 and 21 by screen plate 17. In such a case, zone portion 18 is employed as a shelf treating zone and zone portion 21 is employed as an ordinary slow cooling zone.
  • Numeral 20 shows a feeding pipe of the atmosphere for slow cooling.
  • Numeral 25 is an indicator of the temperature in said shelf treating zone 18.
  • a continuous annealing apparatus comprising a chamber having a heating zone, a soaking zone, a rapid cooling chamber, a shelf treating zone and a cooling zone, and means for moving strip steel from said heating zone to said soaking zone to said rapid cooling chamber to said shelf treating zone and then to said cooling zone for obtaining steel sheet of good drawability, means sealing said rapid cooling chamber from said zones, but permitting the passage of said steel strip, means for introducing a coolant to said rapid cooling chamber, gas absorbing devices connected to said sealing means and coolant recovery means connected to said rapid cooling chamber.
