Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
この発明は、合金化溶融亜鉛めっき鋼板の合金化度制御方法及び装置、さらにはこの合金化度制御方法によって合金化度を制御された溶融亜鉛めっき鋼板に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
合金化溶融亜鉛めっき鋼板は、自動車・家電・建材用の防錆鋼板としてその需要が増加しており、最近では、耐食性を確保するため皮膜が厚目付化する方向にある。この種のめっき鋼板では、成形やロール成形後に使用されるため、優れた耐パウダリング性とプレス成形性が必要となる。とりわけ、皮膜の厚目付化に伴い、耐パウダリング性の確保が大きな課題である。
【0003】
しかしながら、耐パウダリング性とプレス成形性は相反する特性であるため、耐パウダリング性の確保に努めるとプレス成形性が劣り、逆に、プレス成形性を考慮すると、耐パウダリング性に劣るというジレンマがあった。従って、これらの両特性を共に満足する合金化溶融亜鉛めっき鋼板が求められている。
【0004】
さらに、耐パウダリング性に劣る場合には皮膜が剥離し堆積することでプレス製品における疵の原因となるため、金型の清掃などを行って対処している。一方、プレス成形性に劣る場合には、プレス割れを生じるため条件調整のため時間を要する上、最悪の場合にはプレス製品が取れないという状況に陥り、生産がストップしてしまうという問題がある。従って、耐パウダリング性に優れプレス成形性に極めて優れる合金化溶融亜鉛めっき鋼板が求められている。
【0005】
従来から合金化溶融亜鉛めっき鋼板の製造方法に関しては幾つかの技術が開示されているが、そのなかでもめっきの合金化度(鉄含有率)を管理することは有効とされている。上記耐パウダリング性やプレス成形性などの特性はめっき量とその合金化の程度(合金化度)と相関があるとされ、めっきの合金化度を管理することで、めっき品質を管理しようとするものである。
【0006】
この合金化度を自動で制御する方法として、たとえば特許第2644513号に記載される技術が知られている。これは合金化度を測定し、目標値との偏差に応じ、誘導加熱式合金化炉の出力を調節し、合金化度を制御するものである。
【0007】
しかし、近年の厚目付化にともない、耐パウダリング性とプレス成形性の両立を、従来行われてきた合金化度管理だけで実現することは困難になってきている。その理由は、厚目付化に伴い、耐パウダリング性とプレス成形性の両者の特性が両立する合金化度範囲が極めて狭くなっているため、従来の合金化度の管理精度ではこれらを両立できないことがあるためである。
【0008】
【特許文献1】特許第2644513号
【0009】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
これに対して、発明者等は耐パウダリング性とプレス成形性を両立させる合金化溶融亜鉛めっき製造方法を開発し、特願2002−178749号として特許出願を行っている。これは耐パウダリング性とプレス成形性を両立するために合金化度だけではなく、合金相の状態を制御するものであり、これによって最適な合金相、めっき状態を作り出すことができる。
【0010】
この方法では合金化処理において、
▲1▼付着量調整後速やかに所定の温度まで加熱すること
▲2▼所定の温度まで加熱した後保持することなく直ちに冷却すること
が大きなポイントとなっている。この方法を用いると、合金相の状態が最適化され、耐パウダリング性とプレス成形性を安定して両立させることができる合金化溶融亜鉛めっき鋼板を製造することが可能である。
【0011】
このような製造方法を用いる場合でも、多様なライン速度や付着量の偏差など、多様な操業条件のなかで一定の品質を確保するために、合金化度を管理することは依然として極めて重要である。
【0012】
しかしながら、前述のような従来の合金化制御方法は、合金化度を合金化炉の出力によって制御する方法であるので、加熱温度が変化し、発明者等によって開発された前記の耐パウダリング性とプレス成形性を両立させる合金化溶融亜鉛めっき製造方法を用いる場合には適用できない。最適なめっき相状態を確保しながら、合金化度を管理、制御するために加熱炉の出力をフィードバック制御し、加熱温度(反応温度)を操作することは、合金相の状態を制御するために所定の温度まで加熱した後保持することなく直ちに冷却することと両立しないためである。
【0013】
本発明はこのような事情に鑑みてなされたものであり、従来の合金化制御方法とは全く異なる方式を採用することにより、発明者等によって開発された合金化溶融亜鉛めっき製造方法を使用する場合にも、即ち、合金化炉の制御によりめっき相状態を最適に保ちながら合金化を行う場合にも適用可能な合金化溶融亜鉛めっき鋼板の合金化度制御方法及び装置、さらにはこの合金化度制御方法によって合金化度を制御された溶融亜鉛めっき鋼板を提供することを課題とする。
【0014】
【課題を解決するための手段】
前記課題を解決するための第1の手段は、鋼板を連続的に搬送し、溶融亜鉛めっき浴に浸漬して引き上げ、めっき付着量を調整後、引き続き合金化熱処理を行う合金化溶融亜鉛めっき鋼板の製造プロセスにおいて、合金化処理プロセスで、鋼板を所定の温度まで加熱した後、その後の冷却速度を操作することにより合金化度を制御することを特徴とする合金化溶融亜鉛めっき鋼板の合金化度制御方法(請求項1)である。
【0015】
従来の合金化度の調整は、図2に示すような方法によって行われていた。図2は、ヒートパターンのイメージ図である。横軸がラインの位置であり、縦軸に鋼板の温度を示したものである。通常、ライン速度が一定の状態で鋼板が搬送されるため、横軸は時間軸と考えてもよい。図2で、合金化炉の位置に対応する直線の勾配が大きいほど高速度で昇温することになる。又、冷却装置の位置に対応する直線の勾配が大きいほど、冷却速度が大きいことを意味する。
【0016】
即ち、合金化度を高くしたい場合は、合金化炉の設定温度を高くして高速度で昇温し、高温度に保持した後に一定速度で冷却する。逆に合金化度を低くしたい場合は、合金化炉の設定温度を低くして低速度で昇温し、低温度に保持した後に一定速度で冷却する。しかしながら、この方法が発明者等が開発した新しい合金化溶融亜鉛めっき鋼板の製造方法に使用できないことは前述したとおりである。
【0017】
そこで、本手段においては、図3に示すように、加熱装置である合金化炉の設定温度と昇温速度は一定に保ち、冷却速度を増減させることによって合金化度の調整を行っている。即ち、合金化度を高くしたい場合は冷却速度を低減し、逆に合金化度を低くしたい場合は冷却速度を増加させる。これにより、合金化炉の状態を所定の状態に保ちながら合金化度の制御ができるので、最適なめっき相状態を確保しながら、合金化度を管理することが可能になる。
【0018】
前記課題を解決するための第2の手段は、前記第1の手段であって、合金化処理された合金化溶融亜鉛めっき鋼板の合金化度を実測し、その実測値を目標値に一致させるように、前記冷却速度を操作することを特徴とするもの(請求項2)である。
【0019】
前記第1の手段においては、たとえば、合金化度の目標値、付着量、ライン速度、鋼種、鋼板サイズ等の操業条件に応じて、前記冷却速度を決定するプリセット制御等を含んでいる。このプリセットは、計算機によって行ってもよいし、オペレータが手動で行ってもよい。
【0020】
本手段においては、もし、これらのプリセットが不適当で、合金化度が目標値にならないような場合でも、合金化度を実測してフィードバック制御しているので、確実に合金化度を目標値近傍に保つことができる。このフィードバック制御は、連続的なフィードバック制御であってもよいし、たとえば、1コイルごとに合金化度の平均値を算出し、次コイルのプリセット値に反映させるようなバッチ的なフィードバック制御であってもよい。
【0021】
前記課題を解決するための第3の手段は、鋼板を連続的に搬送し、溶融亜鉛めっき浴に浸漬して引き上げ、めっき付着量を調整後、引き続き合金化熱処理を行う合金化溶融亜鉛めっき鋼板の製造設備において、めっき付着量調整装置の後に設けられ、鋼板の加熱を行う加熱装置と、当該加熱装置の後に設けられ、鋼板の冷却速度の調整が可能な鋼板冷却装置とを有することを特徴とする合金化溶融亜鉛めっき鋼板の合金化度制御装置(請求項3)である。
【0022】
本手段によれば、前記第1の手段を実施することができる。
【0023】
前記課題を解決するための第4の手段は、前記第3の手段であって、前記鋼板冷却装置の後に設けられた合金化度測定装置と、測定された合金化度を目標値に一致させるように、前記鋼板冷却装置の冷却速度を操作する合金化度調節装置を併せて有することを特徴とするもの(請求項4)である。
【0024】
本手段によれば、前記第2の手段を実施することができる。
【0025】
前記課題を解決するための第5の手段は、前記第1の手段又は第2の手段により合金化度を調整された合金化溶融亜鉛めっき鋼板(請求項5)である。
【0026】
この合金化溶融亜鉛めっき鋼板は、合金化度が目標値に保たれたものとなる。さらに、たとえば、前記特願2002−178749号に記載される方法によっても製造することができるので、このような方法を使用した場合には、合金相の状態と合金化度の双方が目標値に保たれることになり、耐パウダリング性とプレス成形性を両立し、かつ厚めっきが可能なものとなる。
【0027】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の実施の形態の例を、図を用いて説明する。図1は、本発明の実施の形態の1例である合金化度制御装置を含んだ合金化溶融亜鉛めっき鋼板の製造設備の1例を示す図である。
【0028】
焼鈍炉にて焼鈍された鋼板1は、亜鉛浴2に浸漬されて、その表面に亜鉛が付着する。その後、上方へ引き上げられ、ガスワイピング装置3によりめっき付着量の調整を受けた後、必要に応じて冷却装置4で冷却され、合金化炉5に入る。合金化炉5は高周波誘導加熱装置からなる加熱炉であり、鋼板1を急速に加熱することが可能である。これによりめっきされた亜鉛が鉄−亜鉛合金となる。合金化炉で所定の温度まで加熱された鋼板1は、続いて冷却装置6に入り、制御された冷却速度で速やかに冷却される。その後鋼板1は、合金化度計7により合金化度を測定される。
【0029】
本実施の形態においては、合金化度の測定値は制御用計算機8に入力される。制御用計算機は、製造される合金化溶融亜鉛めっき鋼板の仕様等の操業情報や、ライン速度等のライン情報に応じて目標合金化度を決定する機能を有しており、この目標合金化度と合金化度の測定値を比較して、両者が一致するように冷却装置6における冷却速度を制御する。この制御は、通常のPID制御を使用することもあるし、1コイル又は所定長さごとの合金化度の平均値について目標合金化度との比較を行い、バッチ的に制御を行う方式としてもよい。制御ゲインも合金化溶融亜鉛めっき鋼板の仕様等の操業情報や、ライン速度等のライン情報によって変化するので、制御用計算機8は、この制御ゲインも考慮した上で、冷却装置6への操作量を決定する。
【0030】
合金化溶融亜鉛めっき鋼板の仕様等の操業情報は、上位計算機から制御用計算機に与えられる。ライン速度等のライン情報は、ライン制御装置9から制御用計算機8に与えられる。なお、制御用計算機8は、合金相の制御を行うため、操業情報、ライン情報に基づいて、合金化炉5の制御も行っている。
【0031】
【実施例】
図1に示すような設備を有する実際のCGLラインにおいて、冷却装置6の能力を変えて、合金化度の変化を調査した。冷却装置6の出力を50%にして操業したところ、合金化度計7で測定された測定値が11%(めっき中の鉄の重量%)であった。この鋼板については、合金化度の管理範囲が9.5〜10.5%の場合であったので、これでは過剰な合金化であり、耐パウダリング性やプレス成形性に劣る製品となる可能性がある。そこで、合金化度を管理範囲に収めるべく、冷却装置の出力を増やし、50%から65%にして冷却速度を増加したところ、合金化度10.2%を得た。逆に冷却装置の出力を下げて冷却速度を低減すれば、合金化度は増えるため、合金化度を上げたい場合、冷却装置の出力を下げることが有効であることは言うまでもない。
【0032】
このような知見の基に、各鋼種や操業条件について、冷却装置の出力変化に対する合金化度の変化を調べ、これにより制御ゲインを決定した。また、各鋼種及びその標準操業条件において、合金化度を目標値にする冷却装置の標準出力を定め、鋼種変更の際には、それをプリセット値とするようにした。そして、このようなプリセット制御と、図1に示すようなフィードバック制御(連続PID制御)を行ったところ、合金化度を管理範囲内に納めることができた。
【0033】
【発明の効果】
以上説明したように、本発明によれば、耐パウダリング性およびプレス成形性に優れた合金化溶融亜鉛めっき鋼板が得られる。また、自動制御によりオペレータの負荷を軽減するばかりか、オペレータの個人差を解消し、超高品質合金化溶融亜鉛めっき材の製造を安定して行うことができる。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for controlling the degree of alloying of an alloyed hot-dip galvanized steel sheet, and further relates to a hot-dip galvanized steel sheet whose degree of alloying is controlled by the method for controlling a degree of alloying.
[0002]
[Prior art]
The demand for alloyed hot-dip galvanized steel sheets is increasing as rust-preventive steel sheets for automobiles, home appliances, and building materials. Recently, the thickness of coatings has been increasing in order to ensure corrosion resistance. Since this type of plated steel sheet is used after forming or roll forming, it requires excellent powdering resistance and press formability. In particular, as the thickness of the film increases, it is a major issue to secure powdering resistance.
[0003]
However, since the powdering resistance and the press formability are contradictory properties, it is said that if efforts are made to ensure the powdering resistance, the press formability will be poor, and conversely, if the press formability is considered, the powdering resistance will be poor. There was a dilemma. Accordingly, there is a need for an alloyed hot-dip galvanized steel sheet that satisfies both of these characteristics.
[0004]
Further, when the powdering resistance is poor, the coating peels off and accumulates, which causes flaws in the pressed product. Therefore, cleaning is performed by cleaning the mold. On the other hand, when press formability is inferior, it takes time to adjust conditions because of press cracking, and in the worst case, there is a problem that a pressed product cannot be obtained and production is stopped. . Accordingly, there is a need for an alloyed hot-dip galvanized steel sheet having excellent powdering resistance and extremely excellent press formability.
[0005]
Conventionally, several techniques have been disclosed with respect to a method for producing an alloyed hot-dip galvanized steel sheet. Among them, it is effective to control the degree of alloying (iron content) of plating. It is said that properties such as powdering resistance and press formability correlate with the amount of plating and the degree of alloying (degree of alloying), and it is intended to control the quality of plating by controlling the degree of alloying of plating. Is what you do.
[0006]
As a method of automatically controlling the degree of alloying, for example, a technique described in Japanese Patent No. 2644513 is known. This is to measure the degree of alloying, adjust the output of the induction heating type alloying furnace according to the deviation from the target value, and control the degree of alloying.
[0007]
However, with the recent increase in thickness, it has become difficult to achieve both powdering resistance and press formability by only controlling the degree of alloying, which has been conventionally performed. The reason is that with the increase in thickness, the alloying degree range where both the properties of powdering resistance and press formability are compatible is extremely narrow, and these cannot be compatible with the conventional precision of controlling the alloying degree. Because there are times.
[0008]
[Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent No. 2644513 [0009]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
On the other hand, the present inventors have developed an alloyed hot-dip galvanizing method for achieving both powdering resistance and press formability, and have filed a patent application as Japanese Patent Application No. 2002-178747. This is to control not only the degree of alloying but also the state of the alloy phase in order to achieve both powdering resistance and press formability, whereby an optimum alloy phase and plating state can be created.
[0010]
In this method, in the alloying process,
(1) Immediately heating to a predetermined temperature after adjusting the adhesion amount. (2) Cooling immediately without heating after heating to a predetermined temperature is a major point. By using this method, the state of the alloy phase is optimized, and it is possible to produce an alloyed hot-dip galvanized steel sheet that can stably achieve both powdering resistance and press formability.
[0011]
Even when using such a manufacturing method, it is still extremely important to control the degree of alloying in order to secure a certain quality under various operating conditions such as various line speeds and deviations in the amount of adhesion. .
[0012]
However, since the conventional alloying control method as described above is a method in which the degree of alloying is controlled by the output of the alloying furnace, the heating temperature changes, and the above-mentioned powdering resistance developed by the inventors and the like. It is not applicable when using an alloyed hot-dip galvanizing production method that achieves both balance and press formability. Feedback control of the heating furnace output to control and control the degree of alloying while maintaining the optimal plating phase state, and operating the heating temperature (reaction temperature) are necessary to control the state of the alloy phase. This is because it is incompatible with immediately cooling without heating after heating to a predetermined temperature.
[0013]
The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and adopts an alloyed hot-dip galvanizing manufacturing method developed by the inventors by adopting a method completely different from the conventional alloying control method. In other words, the method and apparatus for controlling the degree of alloying of galvannealed steel sheet, which can be applied to the case where alloying is performed while maintaining the plating phase state optimally by controlling the alloying furnace, and furthermore, this alloying It is an object to provide a hot-dip galvanized steel sheet whose degree of alloying is controlled by a degree control method.
[0014]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
A first means for solving the above-mentioned problem is to continuously transport a steel sheet, immerse it in a hot-dip galvanizing bath, pull it up, adjust the coating weight, and subsequently perform an alloying heat treatment. In the manufacturing process, alloying of galvannealed steel sheet is characterized by controlling the degree of alloying by heating the steel sheet to a predetermined temperature and then controlling the cooling rate in the alloying process. This is a degree control method (claim 1).
[0015]
Conventional adjustment of the degree of alloying has been performed by a method as shown in FIG. FIG. 2 is an image diagram of a heat pattern. The horizontal axis indicates the position of the line, and the vertical axis indicates the temperature of the steel sheet. Usually, since the steel sheet is conveyed in a state where the line speed is constant, the horizontal axis may be considered as the time axis. In FIG. 2, the temperature increases at a higher speed as the gradient of the straight line corresponding to the position of the alloying furnace increases. Also, the greater the slope of the straight line corresponding to the position of the cooling device, the greater the cooling rate.
[0016]
That is, when it is desired to increase the degree of alloying, the set temperature of the alloying furnace is increased, the temperature is raised at a high speed, the temperature is maintained at the high temperature, and then the cooling is performed at a constant speed. Conversely, when it is desired to lower the degree of alloying, the set temperature of the alloying furnace is lowered, the temperature is raised at a low speed, the temperature is kept at a low temperature, and then the cooling is performed at a constant speed. However, as described above, this method cannot be used in the method for producing a new galvannealed steel sheet developed by the inventors.
[0017]
Therefore, in this means, as shown in FIG. 3, the set temperature and the heating rate of the alloying furnace as the heating device are kept constant, and the degree of alloying is adjusted by increasing or decreasing the cooling rate. That is, if the degree of alloying is to be increased, the cooling rate is reduced, and if it is desired to decrease the degree of alloying, the cooling rate is increased. Thus, the degree of alloying can be controlled while maintaining the state of the alloying furnace in a predetermined state, and thus the degree of alloying can be managed while maintaining an optimal plating phase state.
[0018]
The second means for solving the above-mentioned problem is the first means, wherein the alloying degree of the alloyed galvannealed steel sheet is measured, and the measured value is made to coincide with the target value. Thus, the cooling rate is controlled (claim 2).
[0019]
The first means includes, for example, preset control for determining the cooling rate in accordance with operating conditions such as a target value of the degree of alloying, an adhesion amount, a line speed, a steel type, and a steel sheet size. This preset may be performed by a computer or manually by an operator.
[0020]
In this means, even if these presets are inappropriate and the alloying degree does not reach the target value, the alloying degree is actually measured and feedback controlled, so that the alloying degree is reliably set to the target value. It can be kept close. This feedback control may be continuous feedback control or, for example, batch feedback control in which an average value of the degree of alloying is calculated for each coil and reflected in a preset value of the next coil. You may.
[0021]
A third means for solving the above-mentioned problem is to continuously transport a steel sheet, immerse it in a hot-dip galvanizing bath, pull it up, adjust the coating weight, and subsequently perform an alloying heat treatment. In the manufacturing equipment of the above, characterized by having a heating device provided after the plating adhesion amount adjusting device and heating the steel plate, and a steel plate cooling device provided after the heating device and capable of adjusting the cooling rate of the steel plate An apparatus for controlling the degree of alloying of a galvannealed steel sheet (claim 3).
[0022]
According to this means, the first means can be implemented.
[0023]
A fourth means for solving the above-mentioned problem is the third means, wherein the alloying degree measuring device provided after the steel plate cooling device is used to make the measured alloying degree coincide with a target value. As described above, the present invention is characterized by further including an alloying degree adjusting device for controlling the cooling rate of the steel plate cooling device (claim 4).
[0024]
According to this means, the second means can be implemented.
[0025]
A fifth means for solving the above problem is an alloyed hot-dip galvanized steel sheet whose degree of alloying has been adjusted by the first means or the second means (claim 5).
[0026]
This alloyed hot-dip galvanized steel sheet has a degree of alloying maintained at a target value. Furthermore, for example, it can be manufactured by the method described in Japanese Patent Application No. 2002-178747, and when such a method is used, both the state of the alloy phase and the degree of alloying are set to the target values. As a result, both powdering resistance and press moldability are compatible, and thick plating is possible.
[0027]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of a facility for manufacturing an alloyed hot-dip galvanized steel sheet including an alloying degree control device according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0028]
The steel sheet 1 annealed in the annealing furnace is immersed in a zinc bath 2 and zinc adheres to the surface thereof. After that, it is lifted upward, and after the plating amount is adjusted by the gas wiping device 3, it is cooled by the cooling device 4 as required and enters the alloying furnace 5. The alloying furnace 5 is a heating furnace including a high-frequency induction heating device, and can rapidly heat the steel sheet 1. As a result, the plated zinc becomes an iron-zinc alloy. The steel sheet 1 heated to a predetermined temperature in the alloying furnace subsequently enters the cooling device 6 and is rapidly cooled at a controlled cooling rate. Thereafter, the degree of alloying of the steel sheet 1 is measured by the alloying degree meter 7.
[0029]
In the present embodiment, the measured value of the degree of alloying is input to the control computer 8. The control computer has a function of determining the target alloying degree in accordance with operation information such as the specifications of the alloyed hot-dip galvanized steel sheet to be manufactured and line information such as the line speed. And the measured value of the degree of alloying are compared, and the cooling rate in the cooling device 6 is controlled so that the two coincide. This control may use ordinary PID control, or may be a method of comparing the average value of the degree of alloying for each coil or predetermined length with the target degree of alloying and performing control in a batch manner. Good. The control gain also changes depending on operation information such as the specifications of the alloyed hot-dip galvanized steel sheet and line information such as the line speed. To determine.
[0030]
Operation information such as the specifications of the alloyed hot-dip galvanized steel sheet is provided from the host computer to the control computer. Line information such as line speed is provided from the line control device 9 to the control computer 8. The control computer 8 also controls the alloying furnace 5 based on operation information and line information in order to control the alloy phase.
[0031]
【Example】
In an actual CGL line having the equipment as shown in FIG. 1, a change in the degree of alloying was investigated by changing the capacity of the cooling device 6. When the operation was performed with the output of the cooling device 6 set to 50%, the value measured by the alloying degree meter 7 was 11% (% by weight of iron in the plating). As for this steel sheet, the control range of the degree of alloying was 9.5 to 10.5%, so this was excessive alloying and could be a product with poor powdering resistance and press formability. There is. Then, in order to keep the degree of alloying within the control range, the output of the cooling device was increased and the cooling rate was increased from 50% to 65%. As a result, the degree of alloying was 10.2%. Conversely, if the cooling rate is reduced by lowering the output of the cooling device, the degree of alloying increases, so it is needless to say that reducing the output of the cooling device is effective when increasing the degree of alloying.
[0032]
Based on such knowledge, the change in the degree of alloying with respect to the change in the output of the cooling device was examined for each steel type and operating condition, and the control gain was determined accordingly. In addition, the standard output of the cooling device for setting the degree of alloying to the target value was determined for each steel type and its standard operating conditions, and when the steel type was changed, the standard output was used as the preset value. Then, when such preset control and feedback control (continuous PID control) as shown in FIG. 1 were performed, the degree of alloying could be kept within the control range.
