    [0001] METHOD AND INSTALLATION FOR CONTINUOUS THERMAL TREATMENT OF A STEEL BAND. The invention relates to annealing furnaces on continuous heat treatment lines for metal strips, mainly steel sheets, with annealing cycles using cooling slopes. This process is particularly suitable for dip galvanizing lines or for combined annealing and dip galvanizing lines.
    [0002] The method and the corresponding installation, according to the invention, make it possible to carry out thermal treatment cycles comprising wet rapid cooling, capable of producing new steels, without requiring stripping of the strip after heat treatment.
    [0003] The current lines of continuous annealing of metal strips, mainly of steel, are composed of successive chambers in which the strip is first heated, then maintained in temperature for a variable time and finally cooled to substantially the ambient temperature to be able to be marketed or undergo further processing. Other combinations of these holding and cooling heating sequences can be performed for more complex processing cycles. The lines following the state of the art, after completion of a metallurgical annealing, are often used to make a metal coating on the surface of the strip to increase its resistance to corrosion. This treatment is generally carried out continuously, by dipping in a bath of molten metal, for example zinc to galvanize the strip, able to increase the corrosion resistance of the final product, for example automobile bodies . Another type of treatment is aluminizing or any other method of coating the strip with a metal alloy. The automotive market seeks to achieve increasingly lightweight bodies while maintaining or increasing their mechanical strength in case of shock to ensure the protection of their occupants. This concern has led to two main processes of development, one during the annealing heat treatment of the strip, the other during the stamping of the sheet to achieve, for example a body part of a vehicle. The new thermal treatment processes, for example for the production of steels called "martensitic" or "THLE" steels (Very High Elastic Limit), are based on an extremely rapid cooling of the steel after the heating and maintenance phases. temperature, for example with cooling rates above 200 ° C / sec, typically above 500 ° C / sec, and sometimes as high as 1000 ° C / sec or higher. These cooling slopes can not be reached with the conventional cooling techniques by projection of a cooling gas on the band whose maximum cooling slopes are close to 200 ° C / sec. It is then necessary to implement water-quench type cooling by water spraying or by spraying a mixture of gas and water on the strip to achieve these cooling slopes. It can be seen that even using treated water to achieve this cooling, oxide deposits always occur on the surface of the strip, which causes the formation of defects in the coating by dipping, which can render the product unsuitable for its use by current customers. The technique according to the state of the art is therefore, after completion of the rapid heat treatment cycle of the band comprising wet cooling, cooling the metal to a temperature close to ambient temperature to achieve a chemical reduction treatment oxides at temperatures below about 100 ° C which is considered a current temperature limit for performing this treatment. Indeed, the acids used to achieve the reduction of oxides present on the surface of the strip are very aggressive and it is sought not to form vapors that can be released in the manufacturing hall and which can attack the peripheral equipment or create problems. unacceptable working conditions for operating personnel. After completion of the metallurgical annealing, the cooling and the chemical reduction treatment of the oxides, the strip is reheated to a temperature of about 460 ° C - 470 ° C to be galvanized by dipping in a line according to the state of art or galvanized on an electrogalvanizing line, for certain applications, if its surface condition prohibits the galvanizing dipping.
    [0004] The succession of heating and cooling, in particular rapid cooling with large slopes creates longitudinal and transverse stresses in the band that can cause permanent deformations on the surface of the band, deformations such as folds or more or less significant undulations. These deformations or folds can cause surface defects on the web by contact of the web with furnace equipment, for example cooling boxes, and cause the disposal of the finished product.
    [0005] It is understood that the need to reduce the oxides formed by the wet fast cooling, necessary to obtain the desired mechanical characteristics for the product, causes a significant loss of energy because it is necessary to cool the strip to room temperature to chemically treat it and then heat it up to 460 ° C for dip galvanizing (zinc, aluminum or other alloy coating) or pass the tape to another process line in the event of electrogalvanizing. It is therefore impossible for this type of treatment to carry out all the operations of annealing, stripping and continuous galvanizing on a single line because it is necessary to cool the strip, treat it chemically cold and then resume it for galvanizing. These intermediate operations make the overall treatment of steel longer and more expensive, especially in energy.
    [0006] Another solution for obtaining the desired mechanical characteristics on the belts has been developed by the steelmakers. It consists in carrying out a complete heat treatment, close to the current cycles, which successively comprises the annealing and galvanizing operations, to then stamp these sheets hot, at temperatures close to 900 ° C on special presses with their dies maintained in temperature throughout the duration of the forming operation of the part. With this method, the annealing and galvanizing operations can be carried out with tools according to the state of the art but on the other hand stamping equipment are very complex and require the reheating of the sheet which is also greedy in energy.
    [0007] The proposed invention makes it possible to produce the very high yield strength steels expected by automobile manufacturers with a continuous process comprising rapid wet cooling; this process does not require the cooling of the strip to temperatures below 200 ° C for the reduction of the oxides at temperatures below 100 ° C but allows the continuous galvanizing on the same line and at the same speed what is the annealing. This process eliminates the energy losses of the current techniques provided by this cooling up to strip temperatures below 200 ° C for a band of 1 mm thickness to perform stripping of the strip, allows continuous operation without recovery intermediate and ensures the metal coating of the band with the level of quality brought by the current dipping metal coating techniques.
    [0008] The invention proposes a method of continuous thermal treatment of a steel strip according to which: the strip passes through successive heat treatment chambers, rapid cooling of the strip, in particular greater than 200 ° C./sec, is carried out in at least one of the chambers by spraying the liquid strip, or projecting a fluid composed of gas and liquid or projecting a combination of gas and mist-type liquid, and, after rapid cooling, a protective metal layer is deposited on the strip by dipping, characterized in that: - the fluid projected for cooling is a fluid with stripping property with respect to iron oxides or other alloying elements contained in the steel to be treated, in order to limit the oxidation of the strip and to reduce the oxides that may have formed on the strip, to reduce or cancel the surface defects during the quenching metal coating operation, - fluid is projected under pressure and at a distance from the strip such that the combined effect of the stripper property and the mechanical action of the projected fluid reduces the oxide layer on the surface of the strip, and in that the temperature of the strip at the end of cooling is that necessary to achieve the desired treatment cycle, in particular between 200 ° C. and 750 ° C., typically greater than 200 ° C.
    [0009] The temperature at the end of cooling may be 460 ° C. if cooling is the last stage of the treatment cycle before the coating of the strip by a zinc deposit according to the state of the art. This temperature will be close to 200 ° C if the heat treatment requires it for the realization of additional processing phases that are performed after the rapid cooling section. Preferably, the pickling liquid sprayed onto the strip is an acidic solution with a pH of less than 5, in particular a solution of formic or boric acid or similar product. The liquid sprayed onto the strip may comprise additives such as, especially surfactants or wetting agents, for example perfluorononanoate, in particular acid inhibitors, in particular benzotriazole or tetrazole. Advantageously, the liquid feeds the nozzles which project it on the strip under a pressure of less than 1 bar for low pressure processes and under a pressure greater than 5 bar for high pressure processes and at a distance of between 40 and 250 mm. The heating zones situated upstream of the rapid cooling zone may be in a slightly reducing atmosphere, in particular with a hydrogen content of less than 5%, or in air, so that the formation of oxides is facilitated, the oxide layer improving the efficiency of heat exchange in the heating chamber or chambers, and these formed oxides are then removed by the projection of the cooling fluid, in order to reach the amounts of residual oxides compatible with the process or the product quality sought. Advantageously, it is possible to implement a system for controlling the parameters of the reduction process, in particular the projection of the fluid on the strip in order to reach the quantities of residual oxides compatible with the process or the quality of the desired product. . The coolant cooled web height may be adjusted according to the line speed or web characteristics or the inlet and outlet temperatures of the web, particularly for slope adjustment. cooling according to the process or the thermal cycle to be performed. This results in a significant advantage, which is the flexibility of the cooling rate (slow - fast - ultra fast) as well as the flexibility of the outlet temperature, two important points of the heat treatment cycles carried out by and for the steelmakers: a unique system allows to produce all kinds of current steels and not only the new ones. The cooling fluid is projected by nozzles on the strip, and the method is characterized by adapting the cooling parameters of the strip by adjusting the amounts of liquid injected on the strip by each nozzle and for each section of the strip. nozzle width to achieve a theoretical cooling curve depending on the metallurgical process to achieve.
    [0010] The method may include implementing an algorithm for calculating the risk of crease formation on the surface of the web to adjust the longitudinal and transverse cooling slopes. In this regard, reference may be made to patent EP 10702917.5 published under No. EP 2376662, of the applicant company. The invention also relates to a continuous heat treatment line of a steel strip, for the implementation of the method defined above, comprising: successive heat treatment chambers traversed by the strip; less of the chambers having means of rapid cooling, in particular greater than 200 ° C / sec, these cooling means comprising nozzles for a projection on the liquid strip, or a projection of fluid composed of gas and liquid or a projection a combination of gas and mist-type liquid, and, following the chambers, equipment for depositing on the strip a protective layer, in particular a quenching metal coating equipment, this line being characterized in that it comprises means for supplying the spray nozzles with a liquid with a stripping property with respect to the iron oxides or other alloying elements contained in the steel. to treat which may have formed on the strip, in particular an acid solution of pH less than 5, and in that the nozzle supply pressure, and the nozzle distance to the strip are each independently sufficient one of the other so that the combined effect of the stripping property and the mechanical action of the liquid spray eliminates the layer of iron oxides or other alloying elements contained in the steel to be treated which may have formed on the strip, retaining a band temperature, at the end of cooling, sufficiently high for the deposition of the protective layer.
    [0011] The treatment zones located upstream of the rapid cooling zone may be in a little or no reducing atmosphere, in particular with a hydrogen content of less than 5%, or in air to favor the formation of oxides on the strip during heating, the reduction of these oxides being carried out by the projection of the cooling fluid, in order to achieve the amounts of residual oxides compatible with the desired process or product quality. Advantageously, the line comprises at least one air separation chamber 20 at the inlet and / or outlet of the cooling chamber for isolating this chamber, constituting a wet zone, the upstream and downstream chambers being in a dry atmosphere. The control of the projection nozzles can be ensured by a checker-type control algorithm for controlling the cooling of the band section present in the cooling zone in a direction parallel to the axis of the strip and a direction perpendicular to the axis of the band to reduce the appearance of deformations on the surface of the band. while achieving the homogeneous metallurgical structure expected after the heat treatment of the strip. In this regard, reference may be made to the patent of the applicant company EP 00 403 318.9 published under No. EP 1108795, relating to cooling by jets of gas fractionated checkerboard. Advantageously, the line is equipped with a rinsing zone for the band leaving the rapid cooling zone.
    [0012] The line can be equipped with air slats, atmosphere or liquid at the wet cooling outlet in order to limit the liquid entrainment by the strip. Each airlock can include a gas suction device in the airlock. The method and the installation according to the invention make it possible to carry out slow, fast or ultra-fast cooling in a line, continuously, without oxidizing the strip and without polluting the upstream and downstream chambers of the line and without causing permanent deformation. important on the surface of the band. The line according to the method which is the subject of the present invention comprises a rapid cooling zone capable of producing rapid cooling slopes, typically above 500 ° C. or possibly exceeding 1000 ° C./secreated according to the state of the invention. art, for example by the method described in patent FR 2 809 418 or patent FR 2 940 978. The pure or demineralised water used in the context of this process according to the state of the art is replaced for example by a mixture of pure or demineralised water and one or more acid (s) or a combination of acids and additives such as, for example, the inhibitors which will reduce the oxides formed by the spraying of fluids on the strip for to implement a stripping process and / or prevention of the oxidation of the strip. The presence of additives is not required because the residual organic acids and compounds are destroyed by the temperature of the zinc bath. Inhibiting agents may however be used to limit the action of the acid following the attack of the oxides and protect the support metal. By this method, the presence of oxides on the surface of the strip has been greatly reduced or canceled, which makes it possible to perform the metal coating of the strip by dipping it on the same installation during the same process, without generating a defect in coating with the current quality levels. By this method, the cooling of the strip, according to the state of the art to allow its pickling at low temperature, and its reheating, from the ambient temperature or close to the ambient temperature for the coating, are no longer necessary. The annealing and galvanizing process is continuous. The significant loss of energy of the process according to the state of the art is suppressed because the recoveries to carry out the different operations on different equipment are no longer necessary. The realization of the metal coating by dipping galvanization according to current techniques allows to maintain the quality levels expected by the downstream industry, which was not the case with electrogalvanizing. The invention consists, apart from the arrangements described above, in a certain number of other arrangements which will be more explicitly discussed hereinafter with regard to exemplary embodiments described with reference to the appended drawings, but which are not in no way limiting. In these drawings: - Fig. 1 is a schematic view of a continuous line, according to the state of the art, for the heat treatment of a steel strip. - Fig. 2 is a view similar to Fig.1 of a continuous line, according to the invention for the heat treatment of a steel strip. FIG. 3 is a front view of a vertical part of the steel strip with checkerboard-type zones for control of the projection nozzles provided by a control algorithm, and FIG. 4 is a graphical representation. different cooling curves of the strip, the time being plotted on the abscissa and the strip temperature on the ordinate. Fig. 1 has a vertical annealing line - galvanization according to the state of the art. It is understood that the same method can be realized in a horizontal line. The steel strip 1 passes successively through a preheating chamber 2 and then a heating chamber 3 onto sets of rollers 4. In this example, the strip then passes through the chamber 5, which corresponds to a slow cooling, the chamber 6 corresponding to a conventional or rapid cooling by gas jets 30 on the strip from cooling boxes 7, and the chamber 8 which is a holding chamber. The strip is fed through a sheath under atmosphere 9 and immersed at one of its ends in a bath of zinc or molten metals 11 via a roll 10. The fast cooling chambers by spraying liquid on the strip are isolated from the chambers upstream and downstream of the furnace by air separation chambers. For the implementation of the process according to the invention, this seal is reinforced in order to prevent the escape of vapors, for example water and acid present in the rapid cooling chamber, in particular by the use of airlock 14, 17 (FIG. 2) as described in FR 2 903122 or comparable technologies. The function of these chambers is to separate the atmosphere from the humid cooling chamber of the upstream and downstream chambers and to limit the passage of atmosphere containing vapors of acids or chemical compounds used for the reduction of the oxides present on the surface. Of the band. Atmosphere withdrawals 13, 16 (FIG 2) enable the acid vapors to be discharged to a reprocessing system outside the cooling zone. It is also understood that the line implementing the method according to the invention is equipped with a treatment circuit (not shown) of the coolant of the known type for cooling, the separation of the chemicals formed by the reduction of oxides as well as that possible foreign bodies but also specific equipment (not shown) for the control of the composition of the coolant, in particular the pH value as a function of the state of the band and its oxidation level to the entry of the cooling zone.
    [0013] The wet rapid cooling zone with acidic or corrosive solutions is made of materials resistant to these chemical compounds, in the liquid phase or in the vapor phase, in particular stainless steels or synthetic materials for the supply and return piping of the products. cooling. Rapid cooling such as those used in the invention cause significant constraints that can go as far as causing permanent deformations on the surface of the product, these deformations being unacceptable for the production of products of commercial quality. According to the invention, the part of the strip present in the cooling zone is partitioned (FIG 3) by the calculation according to the height of the strip and its width, each of the boxes thus obtained is the subject of a determination of Constraints in the material caused by cooling to verify that these stresses are below the allowable limit by the material. In this regard, reference may be made to EP 1994188 / WO 2007 096502, in the name of the applicant company. The result of this calculation is delivered to the computer (not shown) of the line to modulate the cooling parameters such as the speed of the cooling gas and the amount of water or liquid sprayed onto the strip. By this means, each part of the strip is the subject of a cooling optimization calculation in order to meet the metallurgical objectives without causing permanent deformation on the surface of the strip. Fig. 2 has a vertical galvanizing line according to the invention. The upstream and downstream chambers of the rapid cooling zone 6 are unchanged with respect to FIG. 1. The rapid cooling zone 6 is isolated from the upstream 5 and downstream 8 chambers by locks 14 and 16 according to known technologies, in particular according to FR 2 809 418 with a gas withdrawal 13 and 15 intended to guarantee the absence of communication between the atmospheres of the wet cooling chamber 6 and the upstream and downstream chambers. A communication tunnel 17 between the upstream 5 and downstream 8 chambers of the rapid cooling chamber 6 makes it possible to avoid atmospheric communications 20 between these chambers in the case where there is a pressure difference between the chambers 5 and 8. The rapid cooling of the web 1 is achieved by spraying a liquid on the web, a combination of liquid spraying by a series of nozzles (25) and the atmosphere by an independent series of nozzles or by the creating a mixture of atmosphere and liquid by a series of combined nozzles. This equipment is represented by the boxes 12 arranged along the strip on a vertical strand, the strip preferentially traveling vertically up and down so that the gravity flow of the cooling liquid can be effected to the coldest band temperatures. Each of the cooling processes listed above are equipped with means of regulating their efficiency which make it possible to control the coefficient of heat exchange with the strip as a function of its temperature, of the type of cooling curve to be achieved in order to obtain the desired metallurgical structure and avoid the formation of surface defects such as folds or corrugations. Fig. 3 presents the principle of operation of this system for controlling the cooling of the strip. It is seen in front of the part of the band 1 present in the rapid cooling zone 6 with the upper roller 18 and lower 19. On this strip section, a part denoted L corresponds to the zone of the cooling boxes. This length L is divided vertically into a plurality of segments L1, L2 ... L7 in this example and horizontally in three parts for the operator side O, for the center C and for the motor side M. This gives the zones L40, L4C and L4M. The number of horizontal and vertical zones is not limited, each zone may have a dimension different from the other zones to correspond to the arrangement of the cooling boxes, singularities such as in particular the presence of stabilizing rollers, or to allow a fineness of greater control, especially in areas where the risk of wrinkling or rippling on the surface of the strip is significant. The cooling means are designed to correspond to the zone cutting of the cooled part of the strip, in particular with control valves controlled by the line control system to adjust the pressure or the flow of the fluid as a function of the exchange coefficient to obtain. The line control system comprises a set of algorithms for calculating the stresses induced in the web material as a function of the desired cooling, for example to pass a temperature band of about 850 ° C to about 470 ° C. 1.5 seconds, and will optimize the cooling curve to limit stresses in the band during this cooling. FIG. 4 shows this type of cooling between 850.degree. C. and 470.degree. C. for a time t: the curve C1 shows low cooling slopes for the high temperatures close to 850.degree. C. and more significant slopes for the temperatures. close to 470 ° C, - curve C2 shows a linear cooling slope between the flow temperature 850 ° C and the inlet temperature 450 ° C, Note: or less if the thermal cycle makes it necessary. - Curve C3 has larger cooling slopes for the highest temperatures close to 850 ° C and lower slopes in the vicinity of 470 ° C. The longitudinal cooling curve can thus be optimized to control the actuators, and the liquid spray nozzles equipping zones L1 to L7 to obtain the final result without causing surface defects on the strip. Similarly, the transverse temperature profile of the strip, for example at the inlet of the furnace or at the inlet of the cooling section, can be integrated in the calculation in order to control the actuators and the nozzles of the transverse zones to compensate for a pre-existing profile or to create voluntarily a desired temperature profile on the web. Temperature measuring means (not shown) may be used upstream or downstream of the cooling zone by the furnace control system in order, in particular, to compensate for an existing level or temperature profile at the inlet of the furnace. the cooling zone or, by a measurement at the outlet of this cooling zone, modify the instructions of the actuators to obtain the required effect. According to an alternative embodiment of the invention, the effectiveness of pickling and reduction of the oxides obtained by the implementation of the process is taken into account. It becomes possible to leave the heating zones, corresponding to chambers 3 and 5, with less sophisticated atmospheres, for example with a lower hydrogen content typically less than 5%, and therefore less reducing, possibly even under air. The surface oxidation of the band obtained during the heating is facilitated in these less reducing atmospheres, and has the effect of increasing the emissivity coefficient of the band which increases the efficiency of the radiative heating and reduces the size and cost of the facilities. Such a line will be more compact and therefore with lower investment cost and operating cost while enabling improved steel fabrication compared to the state of the art.
    [0014] The invention can be used on an annealing line, even if the stress of the galvanization is not present. The advantages of online stripping, the less sophisticated atmosphere possibilities in heating zones will however remain present on this type of equipment.5
