Definitions
- steel is commonly carburized and decarburized, nitrided and de-nitn'ded, chromized and dechromized, etc.
- a suitable reacting agent :or material which may be gaseous or solid in form, and heating same.
- Such processes are effective on parts such as castings, forgings, etc., to produce a relatively thin shell or case of the modified composition on the outside of the article being treated.
- t is, therefore, an object of the present invention to provide an apparatus and procedure for making strip metal whereby long lengths of strip may be subjected, simultaneously over its entire surface area, to contact with a gas of such chemical composition that such contact, at proper temperature and for the proper time, will effect the desired change in the composition of the entire length of the strip for any desired penetration up to the full thickness thereof.
- My process includes recoiling the usual tight wound coils of strip metal that come from the rolling mill or other processing step into opened form with the laps spaced apart. This may be done in any suitable manner,
- the procedure of said application involves rewinding a tight wound coil with :a spacer string or strand between the laps thereof.
- the diameter of the spacer strand is equal to the desired spacing between the laps of the opened coil and, after recoiling is completed, the spacer strand is withdrawn, leaving the coil with substantially unimpeded vertical passages between all of its laps.
- the lap spacer may be in the form of a corrugated strip or expanded coil spring and may be left in position between the laps of the coil during treatment.
- the term opened coil as used herein is intended to include both coils from which the spacer has been removed and those in which a pervious spacer is permitted to remain during my processing procedure.
- an opened coil C of suitable composition and gage is positioned in chamber or housing H through a suitable opening in one side thereof (not shown but which may conveniently be in the front or rear of the housing H seen in the drawing).
- the opened coil C is supported on a coil support and plenum chamber P, the upper face P of which is in the form of an open grid on which the lower edges of the laps of the strip of coil C are supported.
- Plenum chamber P also includes suitable bafile walls B and B whereby all of the atmosphere which is forced up through the inlet conduit 1 and inlet passage l in housing H is caused to flow upwardly through the spaces between the laps of the coil C.
- Such atmosphere leaves the top of coil C as indicated by the arrows in the drawing and passes upwardly through the outlet conduit 2 from the chamber H.
- transverse slots H may be provided in the base portion H" of chamber H to accommodate the arms of a lift fork adapted to lift the coil support and plenum chamber P with :a .coil C supported thereon and move same into or out of chamber H.
- An upper heating gas conduit 3 extends from the outlet conduit 2 to a circulating fan or blower 4, driven by suitable means (not shown).
- the output of blower 4 is directed into a heater 5 wherein the gas may be heated by any suitable means such as radiant combustion tubes, electric heating elements, etc.
- the output from the heater 5 flows through the lower heating gas conduit 6 which connects to the bottom end of inlet conduit 1.
- Dampers 7 and 8 are disposed in the heating gas conduits 3 and 6 respectively adjacent the inlet and outlet conduits 1 and 2. When these dampers are open, circulating of gas is effected by the blower 4 down through the heater 5, up through the opened coil C where heat is transferred to the coil, and back through the heater 5 again in continuous fashion. Vlhen the dampers 7 and 8 are closed, as seen in the drawing, circulation of gas through the heater 5 is prevented.
- a conduit 9 is provided which extends around the chamber H and is connected at its upper end to the outlet conduit 2 and at its lower end to the inlet conduit 1.
- a blower 19 is interposed in conduit 9 to move gas therethrough, and dampers 11 and 12 are provided to shut oif the lower and upper ends of conduit 9 respectively from the inlet conduit 1 and outlet conduit 2 of the chamber H.
- an opened coil of suitable gage and composition is inserted into chamber H and supported on the top grid of plenum P.
- the charging door (not shown) of the chamber is then, of course, closed and, with bafiles 11 and 12 closed and bafiles 7 and 8 open, circulation of the atmosphere is eifected by the blower 4.
- This flow is up through 'the laps of the coil C, down through the heater 5 where heat is added to the gas, and again up through the coil C until the coil reaches the desired temperature.
- This heating operation is very rapidly and efficiently carried out because the entire surface area of both sides of the entire length of the strip making up coil C is simultaneously and at all times exposed to the rapidly moving stream of heated gas.
- the heating gas maybe of any desired composition, for example inert or nonexidizing in the case of the treatment of steel strip.
- the blower 4 is stopped, dampers 7 and 8 are closed by suitable outside control and dampers 11 and 12 are similarly opened.
- a reactant gas for instance ammonia in gaseous form
- the heated steel strip is subjected to contact over its entire surface with the reactant gas (the composition of which depends on the type and quantity supplied through pipe 13) for such time as is necessary to produce the desired change in composition of the strip.
- the desired result may be achieved after one heating of the opened coil whereas in other cases it may be necessary to heat the strip several times by stopping the circulation of the reactant gas (by shutting down the blowerltl and closing the dampers 11 and 12) and reheating the coil by again circulating heating gas therethrough and through the heater 5.
- the entire strip by subjecting the strip to the proper gaseous medium for the proper length of time at the proper temperature, the entire strip, either on its outer surfaces only or through its complete thickness, may be modified in its composition.
- the complete opera: tion may be carried out most economically and in a relatively short time.
- conduit 9 and blower 10 may be shut off or omitted and reactant gas circulated through the opened coil and through the heater 5.
- a reactant supply pipe corresponding to pipe 13 may be connected into the conduit system to permit the reacting agent to be added in proper quantity.
- Bleed pipe 14 and valve 15 could, of course,
- My improved method is particularly adapted for making steel strip in long lengths of substantially uniform and homogeneous composition throughout.
- mild steel of relatively low carbon content i.e., below about .008% carbon
- strip form the following procedure obtains excellent results.
- iron is partially refined, as in a Bessemer converter or an open hearth furnace, to produce a mild steel having approximately .Ol2% carbon.
- This steel is then cast in ingots which are rolled by any suitable procedure to produce strip of a gage or thickness between about .04" and about .10.
- This strip is formed into tight wound coils which are then converted into opened coils with their laps spaced apart as by the procedures referred to previously in this specification.
- the entire length of the strip making up an opened 7 coil is subjected, preferably at a temperature from about 1250 F. to 1400 F., to intimate contact with a rapidly moving flowof a suitable decarburizing gas (such as water vapor mixed with hydrogen and nitrogen, or other gaseous agents which have an afiinity for and will combine with and remove carbonfrom' the steel without undesirable oxidation) simultaneously over both sides of its entire length.
- a suitable decarburizing gas such as water vapor mixed with hydrogen and nitrogen, or other gaseous agents which have an afiinity for and will combine with and remove carbonfrom' the steel without undesirable oxidation
- homogeneous steel strip may be produced having a carbon content from substantially zero up to about 008% at a cost greatly below, and with a much better control of the final product than previous procedures for making such low carbon steel strip which required that the carbon content of the steel be brought down to the desired final low value in an open hearth furnace or the like before rolling into strip form.
- a coil of strip steel may be annealed and decarburized in a single operation and without taking any more time than would be required merely to anneal the strip.
- Apparatus for modifying the chemical composition of opened coils of strip metal having the laps thereof spaced apart including, a treatment chamber having spaced gas inlet and outlet openings, an inlet conduit extending from said inlet opening and an outlet conduit extending from said outlet opening, means for supporting an opened coil in said treatment chamber and directing gaseous atmosphere vertically through the spaces between the laps thereof, gas atmosphere heat-ing means, gas conducting conduits extending from said outlet conduit to said heating means and from said heating means to said inlet conduit, blower means disposed to circulate gaseous atmosphere through said chamber and the laps of an opened coil supported therein and through said heating means, means for closing one of said gas conducting conduits whereby circulation through said gas atmosphere heating means is prevented, a reactant gas circulating conduit extending from said chamber outlet conduit outside of said chamber and back to said chamber inlet conduit, blower means for effecting circulation of gas through said reactant gas conduit and said chamber and the laps of an opened coil supported therein, means for supplying a gaseous reactant material to the gas circulated through
