Definitions
- the present invention relates to the heating of a steel strip intended to be galvanized.
- Galvanizing requires raising the temperature of the steel strip at least to that of the zinc alloy bath in which it passes. This elevation is conventionally provided by an installation of ovens in which the strip passes. The capacity of these ovens is one of the essential parameters influencing the speed of circulation of the belt. Thus the speed of a thick strip will be lower than that of a thin strip.
- the penetration of heat into the heart of a thick strip is difficult and that there is always a decreasing temperature gradient from the periphery to the center of the room.
- the operation of a heat treatment oven is not always very simple and that the modifications to its operating regime can bring about risks in the quality of the treatment desired.
- the invention intends to provide an improvement to this type of installation which makes it possible to facilitate the changes in regime of a heating installation for a continuously moving product and the adaptation of its operation to different thicknesses of product without having to influence on speed.

Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne le chauffage d'une bande d'acier destinée à être galvanisée.The present invention relates to the heating of a steel strip intended to be galvanized.
La galvanisation nécessite d'élever la température de la bande d'acier au moins au niveau de celle du bain d'alliage de zinc dans laquelle elle passe. Cette élévation est assurée classiquement par une installation de fours dans lesquels défile la bande. La capacité de ces fours constitue l'un des paramètres essentiels influençant la vitesse de circulation de la bande. Ainsi la vitesse d'une bande épaisse sera plus petite que celle d'une bande mince. En plus, il faut noter que la pénétration de la chaleur au coeur d'une bande épaisse est difficile et qu'il existe toujours un gradient de température décroissant de la périphérie au centre de la pièce. Par ailleurs on sait que la conduite d'un four de traitement thermique n'est pas toujours très simple et que les modifications de son régime de fonctionnement peuvent apporter des aléas dans la qualité du traitement souhaité.Galvanizing requires raising the temperature of the steel strip at least to that of the zinc alloy bath in which it passes. This elevation is conventionally provided by an installation of ovens in which the strip passes. The capacity of these ovens is one of the essential parameters influencing the speed of circulation of the belt. Thus the speed of a thick strip will be lower than that of a thin strip. In addition, it should be noted that the penetration of heat into the heart of a thick strip is difficult and that there is always a decreasing temperature gradient from the periphery to the center of the room. Furthermore, it is known that the operation of a heat treatment oven is not always very simple and that the modifications to its operating regime can bring about risks in the quality of the treatment desired.
L'invention entend apporter un perfectionnement à ce type d'installation qui permet de faciliter les changements de régime d'une installation de chauffage d'un produit défilant en continu et l'adaptation de son fonctionnement à différentes épaisseurs de produit sans avoir d'influence sur la vitesse. Il s'ensuit une absence de répercussion sur la totalité de la ligne de galvanisation ce qui supprime tous les réglages résultant d'un changement d'allure. Le perfectionnement selon l'invention est très facilement adaptable sur une installation déjà existante.The invention intends to provide an improvement to this type of installation which makes it possible to facilitate the changes in regime of a heating installation for a continuously moving product and the adaptation of its operation to different thicknesses of product without having to influence on speed. This results in an absence of repercussions on the entire galvanizing line, which removes all the adjustments resulting from a change in speed. The improvement according to the invention is very easily adaptable to an already existing installation.
Le dispositif de chauffage selon l'invention comporte essentiellement un moyen de chauffage par induction en complément d'au moins un autre moyen de chauffage à gaz ou électrique comportant ou non une atmosphère contrôlée. Ce dispositif permet un réglage simple de la capacité de chauffe.The heating device according to the invention essentially comprises an induction heating means in addition to at least one other gas or electric heating means which may or may not have a controlled atmosphere. This device allows a simple adjustment of the heating capacity.
L'invention sera mieux comprise au cours de la description donnée ci-après à titre d'exemple purement indicatif et non limitatif qui permettra d'en dégager les avantages et les caractéristiques secondaires.The invention will be better understood during the description given below by way of purely indicative and nonlimiting example which will make it possible to identify the advantages and the secondary characteristics thereof.
Il sera fait référence au dessin annexé qui représente de manièa très schématique les dispositions de l'invention.Reference will be made to the accompanying drawing which very schematically shows the provisions of the invention.
En se reportant à cette figure, on a symbolisé par le rouleau 1 une bobine de bande métallique que l'on déroule en direction d'une installation de chauffage 2, après lui avoir fait subir un certain nombre d'opérations dans des postes de travail non représentés (tel que du planage, liaison bout à bout de deux bobines consécutives...). Selon l'invention avant l'introduction de la bande dans la batterie de four, on aura disposé un dispositif 3 de chauffage par induction qui permet d'élever rapidement et jusqu'à coeur la température de la tôle. On préférera réaliser une préchauffe ne dépassant pas 120 à 150°C avec ce dispositif 3 de manière à éviter une oxydation de la bande. Cette préchauffe peut ainsi s'effectuer en atmosphère libre.Referring to this figure, there has been symbolized by the roller 1 a coil of metal strip which is unwound in the direction of a
L'intérêt d'une disposition telle que décrite réside dans le fait qu'un dispositif par induction est à faible encombrement.The advantage of an arrangement as described lies in the fact that an induction device is compact.
On peut ainsi le mettre en place sur une installation existante avant l'entrée dans les fours. En outre le chauffage obtenu est uniforme dans toute l'épaisseur de la bande. La vitesse de chauffage est de plus très rapide et son rendement est excellent avec le matériel moderne actuellement sur le marché.It can thus be installed on an existing installation before entering the ovens. In addition, the heating obtained is uniform throughout the thickness of the strip. The heating speed is also very fast and its performance is excellent with modern equipment currently on the market.
Enfin la conduite de ce dispositif de chauffage est très souple et donne à la totalité de l'installation une maniabilité beaucoup plus grande. C'est ainsi que l'on peut facilement changer de régime pour l'ensemble de l'installation de chauffage et que l'on pourra conserver des vitesses de défilement sensiblement identiques quelles que soient les épaisseurs des tôles traitées puisque par induction il est aisé de chauffer rapidement et jusqu'à coeur les tôles épaisses.Finally, the conduct of this heating device is very flexible and gives the entire installation a much greater maneuverability. It is thus that one can easily change the regime for the entire heating installation and that one will be able to keep substantially identical running speeds whatever the thicknesses of the sheets treated since by induction it is easy to heat the thick sheets quickly and to the core.
L'invention trouve une application intéressante dans le domaine de la galvanisation. Elle n'est pas limitée à la description qui vient d'en être donnée mais couvre au contraire toutes les variantes qui pourraient lui être apportées sans sortir de son cadre ni de son esprit.The invention finds an interesting application in the field of galvanization. It is not limited to the description which has just been given, but on the contrary covers all the variants which could be made to it without departing from its scope or its spirit.
