2. Description of the Related Art A heating device is installed upstream of a twisting device,
The twist applied by the twisting device and going back along the yarn is heat-set, and then untwisted when passing through the twisting device to obtain a false twisted yarn. Many suggestions have been made.

Recently, the heating device has been heated to a high temperature (a temperature higher than the melting point of the yarn, preferably 400 ° C. or higher) to heat the yarn in a non-contact state.
That is, the processing speed of the recent draw false twister has been increased, and a high-temperature non-contact type short heater has been used instead of the conventional low-temperature contact type heating device.

[0004] In the heater having a heating temperature of 400 ° C or less, an aluminum alloy is used.
When the temperature exceeds ℃, the melting point of the aluminum alloy is low, which is not preferable. As a countermeasure, it is conceivable to use a material having a high melting point, such as brass, stainless steel, or ceramics, as a material of the heating device used at a high temperature as described above. Further, as the far-infrared heater, it is conceivable to use a material made of far-infrared radiation ceramic or to coat the surface with ceramic.

[0006] In general, an oil agent (oil) is applied to the synthetic fiber yarn to improve the condition of the processing step. When the yarn to which such oil agent is applied is heated to a high temperature as described above. , The oil agent evaporates and decomposes in the heating device (heater). The heater material is easily corroded due to the vaporized oil and the high temperature. As a countermeasure, the heater material needs to endure it.

[0007] When stainless steel is used as such a heater material as described above, it has good oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance, but has a thermal conductivity of about 0.03 Cal / cm · s · ° C. When used as a high-temperature heater as described above, the temperature distribution in the longitudinal direction of the heater becomes extremely non-uniform, and the temperature difference between the temperature of the heating plate and the sheathed heater as a heat source for heating the heating plate increases. Since the sheathed heater is heated to an extremely high temperature in order to heat the plate to a desired temperature, there is a problem that its life is shortened. Further, stainless steel has poor machinability even in the production of a heating device.

In such a heater, in order to be able to perform the yarn hooking, which is a feature of the high-temperature heater, that is, the yarn fused to the yarn guide at the time of yarn breakage can be melted and removed in a short time, the fused yarn is used. Is heated to a sufficiently high temperature (for example, 320 ° C. or higher, preferably 400 ° C.
C. or higher), that is, it is necessary to increase the set temperature of the heating plate, and accordingly, the temperature difference between the set temperature of the heating plate and the sheathed heater as a heat source for heating the heating plate increases.

As described above, since the sheathed heater is heated to an extremely high temperature in order to heat the heating plate to a desired temperature, there is a problem that its life is shortened. In addition, there is a concern that running the yarn in a heater having a non-uniform temperature distribution may adversely affect the yarn quality. Therefore, it is not preferable to use stainless steel for the heating plate of the high-temperature heating device aimed at by the present invention.

On the other hand, as can be seen from the dashed line in FIG. 4, when brass having a high thermal conductivity (0.26 Cal / cm.s..degree. C.) is used for the heating plate, the problem of non-uniform temperature distribution is a problem. Virtually gone. According to the study of the present inventors, stainless steel has the above-mentioned problem because its thermal conductivity is about 1/10 that of brass, and the thermal conductivity is about 1 / to 3 of the thermal conductivity of brass. , It seems that the problem of non-uniform temperature distribution hardly occurs. According to the inventor's experience, it seems that the thermal conductivity is preferably 0.10 Cal / cm · s · ° C. or more.

In particular, an oil agent (oil) is generally applied to the synthetic fiber yarn in order to improve the condition of the treatment step, and the yarn provided with such an oil agent is heated to a high temperature as described above. In this case, the oil agent evaporates and decomposes in the heating device (heater). The heater material is easily corroded due to the vaporized oil and the high temperature. As a countermeasure, the heater material needs to endure it.

[Table 1] Here, the weight change rate in Table 1 is obtained as follows.
The process of immersing the sample in a stock solution of a polyester fiber, which is a typical synthetic fiber, for treatment of a polyester yarn for about 10 seconds, and then maintaining the sample in an atmosphere at 560 ° C. (baking) is repeated 36 times within 200 hours. The weight of the sample before treatment is W 0
And then, the weight after the treatment as W 1, weight change before and after the treatment (W 1 -W 0) of the absolute value of pretreatment weight (W 0) with the value obtained by dividing the percentage [100 × (W 1 -W 0 ) / W 0 )] is the weight change rate. The weight change rate is an index for determining corrosion resistance, and it can be said that the smaller the weight change rate, the better the corrosion resistance.
