Description

本発明は、加熱帯、均熱帯及び冷却帯がこの順に並置された焼鈍炉と、前記冷却帯に隣接した溶融亜鉛めっき浴と、を有する連続溶融亜鉛めっき装置を用いた合金化溶融亜鉛めっき鋼板の製造方法に関する。   The present invention provides an alloyed hot-dip galvanized steel sheet using a continuous hot-dip galvanizing apparatus having an annealing furnace in which heating zones, soaking zones and cooling zones are juxtaposed in this order, and a hot-dip galvanizing bath adjacent to the cooling zone. It relates to the manufacturing method.

近年、自動車、家電、建材等の分野において、構造物の軽量化等に寄与する高張力鋼板（ハイテン鋼材）の需要が高まっている。ハイテン鋼材としては、例えば、鋼中にＳｉを含有することにより穴広げ性の良好な鋼板や、ＳｉやＡｌを含有することにより残留γが形成しやすく延性の良好な鋼板が製造できることがわかっている。   In recent years, in the fields of automobiles, home appliances, building materials, etc., there is an increasing demand for high-tensile steel plates (high-tensile steel materials) that contribute to weight reduction of structures. As a high-tensile steel material, for example, it has been found that a steel plate with good hole expansibility by containing Si in the steel, and a steel plate with good ductility can be produced by easily containing residual γ by containing Si or Al. Yes.

しかし、Ｓｉを多量に（特に０．２質量％以上）含有する高張力鋼板を母材として合金化溶融亜鉛めっき鋼板を製造する場合、以下の問題がある。合金化溶融亜鉛めっき鋼板は、還元雰囲気又は非酸化性雰囲気中で６００〜９００℃程度の温度で母材の鋼板を加熱焼鈍した後に、該鋼板に溶融亜鉛めっき処理を行い、さらに亜鉛めっきを加熱合金化することによって、製造される。   However, when an alloyed hot-dip galvanized steel sheet is produced using a high-tensile steel sheet containing a large amount of Si (particularly 0.2% by mass or more) as a base material, there are the following problems. An alloyed hot-dip galvanized steel sheet is obtained by subjecting a base steel sheet to heat annealing at a temperature of about 600 to 900 ° C. in a reducing atmosphere or a non-oxidizing atmosphere, and then subjecting the steel sheet to hot-dip galvanization and further heating the galvanizing. Manufactured by alloying.

ここで、鋼中のＳｉは易酸化性元素であり、一般的に用いられる還元雰囲気又は非酸化性雰囲気中でも選択酸化されて、鋼板の表面に濃化し、酸化物を形成する。この酸化物は、めっき処理時の溶融亜鉛との濡れ性を低下させて、不めっきを生じさせる。そのため、鋼中Ｓｉ濃度の増加と共に、濡れ性が急激に低下して不めっきが多発する。また、不めっきに至らなかった場合でも、めっき密着性に劣るという問題がある。さらに、鋼中のＳｉが選択酸化されて鋼板の表面に濃化すると、溶融亜鉛めっき後の合金化過程において著しい合金化遅延が生じ、生産性を著しく阻害するという問題もある。   Here, Si in steel is an easily oxidizable element, and is selectively oxidized in a generally used reducing atmosphere or non-oxidizing atmosphere to concentrate on the surface of the steel sheet to form an oxide. This oxide reduces wettability with molten zinc during the plating process and causes non-plating. Therefore, as the Si concentration in the steel increases, the wettability decreases sharply and non-plating occurs frequently. In addition, even when non-plating does not occur, there is a problem that the plating adhesion is poor. Further, when Si in the steel is selectively oxidized and concentrated on the surface of the steel sheet, there is a problem that a remarkable alloying delay occurs in the alloying process after hot dip galvanizing, and the productivity is remarkably hindered.

このような問題に対して、例えば、特許文献１には、直火型加熱炉（ＤＦＦ）を用いて、鋼板の表面を一旦酸化させた後、還元雰囲気下で鋼板を焼鈍することで、Ｓｉを内部酸化させ、鋼板の表面にＳｉが濃化するのを抑制し、溶融亜鉛めっきの濡れ性および密着性を向上させる方法が記載されている。加熱後の還元焼鈍については常法（露点−３０〜−４０℃）でよいと記載されている。   For such a problem, for example, Patent Document 1 discloses that by directly oxidizing the surface of the steel sheet using a direct-fired heating furnace (DFF), the steel sheet is annealed in a reducing atmosphere, thereby obtaining Si. Has been described, which suppresses the concentration of Si on the surface of the steel sheet and improves the wettability and adhesion of hot dip galvanizing. It is described that reduction annealing after heating may be performed by a conventional method (dew point of −30 to −40 ° C.).

特許文献２には、順に加熱帯前段、加熱帯後段、保熱帯及び冷却帯を有する焼鈍炉と溶融めっき浴とを用いた連続焼鈍溶融めっき方法において、鋼板温度が少なくとも３００℃以上の領域の鋼板の加熱または保熱を間接加熱とし、各帯の炉内雰囲気を水素１〜１０体積％、残部が窒素及び不可避的不純物よりなる雰囲気とし、前記加熱帯前段で加熱中の鋼板到達温度を５５０℃以上７５０℃以下とし、かつ、露点を−２５℃未満とし、これに続く前記加熱帯後段及び前記保熱帯の露点を−３０℃以上０℃以下とし、前記冷却帯の露点を−２５℃未満とする条件で焼鈍を行うことにより、Ｓｉを内部酸化させ、鋼板の表面にＳｉが濃化するのを抑制する技術が記載されている。また、加熱帯後段及び／又は保熱帯に、窒素と水素の混合ガスを加湿して導入することも記載されている。   Patent Document 2 discloses a steel plate in a region where the steel plate temperature is at least 300 ° C. in a continuous annealing hot dipping method using an annealing furnace and a hot dipping bath having a heating zone first stage, a heating zone latter stage, a heat retention zone, and a cooling zone in this order. The in-furnace atmosphere of each zone is 1 to 10% by volume of hydrogen, the balance is nitrogen and inevitable impurities, and the temperature reached by the steel sheet during heating in the preceding stage of the heating zone is 550 ° C. More than 750 ° C., and dew point is less than −25 ° C., and the subsequent dew point of the heating zone and the retentive zone is −30 ° C. to 0 ° C., and the dew point of the cooling zone is less than −25 ° C. The technique which suppresses that Si is internally oxidized by performing annealing on the conditions to make it concentrate on the surface of a steel plate. In addition, it is also described that a mixed gas of nitrogen and hydrogen is introduced after humidification into the latter stage of the heating zone and / or the tropical zone.

特許文献３には、炉内ガスの露点を測定しながら、その測定値に応じて、炉内ガスの供給及び排出の位置を変化させることによって、還元炉内ガスの露点を−３０℃超０℃以下の範囲内になるように制御して、鋼板の表面にＳｉが濃化するのを抑制する技術が記載されている。加熱炉についてはＤＦＦ（直火加熱炉）、ＮＯＦ（無酸化炉）、ラジアントチューブタイプのいずれでもよいが、ラジアントチューブタイプで顕著に発明効果が発現できるので好ましいとの記載がある。   In Patent Document 3, while measuring the dew point of the in-furnace gas, the position of the supply and discharge of the in-furnace gas is changed according to the measured value, so that the dew point of the in-reduction furnace gas exceeds 0 to -30 ° C. A technique is described in which Si is concentrated on the surface of a steel sheet by controlling the temperature to be within a range of ° C or less. The heating furnace may be any of DFF (direct flame heating furnace), NOF (non-oxidation furnace), and radiant tube type, but there is a description that it is preferable because the invention effect can be remarkably exhibited in the radiant tube type.

しかし、特許文献１に記載の方法では、還元後のめっき密着性は良好であるものの、Ｓｉの内部酸化量が不足しやすく、鋼中のＳｉの影響で合金化温度が通常よりも３０〜５０℃高温になってしまい、その結果鋼板の引張強度が低下する問題があった。十分な内部酸化量を確保するために酸化量を増加させると、焼鈍炉内のロールに酸化スケールが付着し鋼板に押し疵、いわゆるピックアップ欠陥が発生する。このため、酸化量を単に増加させる手段は取れない。   However, in the method described in Patent Document 1, although the plating adhesion after reduction is good, the amount of internal oxidation of Si tends to be insufficient, and the alloying temperature is 30 to 50 higher than usual due to the influence of Si in steel. As a result, there was a problem that the tensile strength of the steel sheet was lowered. If the amount of oxidation is increased in order to ensure a sufficient amount of internal oxidation, the oxide scale adheres to the roll in the annealing furnace and the steel sheet is pressed, so-called pickup defects occur. For this reason, there is no way to simply increase the oxidation amount.

特許文献２に記載の方法では、加熱帯前段、加熱帯後段、保熱帯の加熱・保温を間接加熱としているため、特許文献1の直火加熱の場合のような鋼板表面の酸化が起こりにくく、特許文献1と比較してもＳｉの内部酸化が不十分であり、合金化温度が高くなるという問題がより顕著である。更に、外気温変動や鋼板の種類によって炉内に持ち込まれる水分量が変化することに加え、混合ガス露点も外気温変動によって変動しやすく、安定して最適露点範囲に制御することが困難であった。このように露点変動が大きいことで、上記露点範囲や温度範囲であっても、不めっき等の表面欠陥が発生し、安定した製品を製造するは困難であった。   In the method described in Patent Document 2, since the heating zone and the heating zone are indirect heating, the oxidation of the steel sheet surface unlike the case of the direct flame heating in Patent Literature 1 is unlikely to occur. Even when compared with Patent Document 1, the problem that the internal oxidation of Si is insufficient and the alloying temperature becomes higher is more remarkable. Furthermore, in addition to changes in the amount of moisture brought into the furnace due to fluctuations in the outside air temperature and the type of steel sheet, the dew point of the mixed gas tends to fluctuate due to fluctuations in the outside air temperature, making it difficult to stably control the optimum dew point range. It was. Thus, since the dew point variation is large, surface defects such as non-plating occur even in the above dew point range and temperature range, and it is difficult to manufacture a stable product.

特許文献３に記載の方法では、加熱炉にＤＦＦを使用すれば鋼板表面の酸化は起こりえるが、焼鈍炉に積極的に加湿ガスを供給しないので、露点を制御範囲の中でも高露点領域の−２０〜０℃で安定的に制御することが困難である。また、仮に露点が上昇した場合には炉上部の露点が高くなりやすく、炉下部の露点計で０℃となったときには、炉上部では＋１０℃以上の高露点雰囲気となる場合があり、そのまま長期間操業するとピックアップ欠陥が発生することがわかった。   In the method described in Patent Document 3, oxidation of the steel sheet surface can occur if DFF is used for the heating furnace, but since the humidifying gas is not actively supplied to the annealing furnace, the dew point is − It is difficult to control stably at 20 to 0 ° C. Also, if the dew point rises, the dew point at the top of the furnace tends to be high, and when the dew point meter at the bottom of the furnace reaches 0 ° C, a high dew point atmosphere of + 10 ° C or more may be formed at the top of the furnace. It was found that pick-up defects occurred during the operation.

そこで本発明は、上記課題に鑑み、Ｓｉを０．２質量％以上含む鋼帯に合金化溶融亜鉛めっきを施した場合でも、めっき密着性が高く良好なめっき外観を得ることができ、かつ、合金化温度を下げることで引張強度の低下を抑制することが可能な、合金化溶融亜鉛めっき鋼板の製造方法を提供することを目的とする。   Thus, in view of the above problems, the present invention can obtain a good plating appearance with high plating adhesion even when alloyed hot dip galvanizing is applied to a steel strip containing 0.2 mass% or more of Si, and It aims at providing the manufacturing method of an galvannealed steel plate which can suppress the fall of tensile strength by lowering alloying temperature.

本発明は、加熱帯に直火加熱炉（ＤＦＦ）を用いて鋼板表面の酸化を十分に行わせた後に、均熱帯全体を常法の露点よりも高露点としてＳｉの内部酸化を十分に行わせることにより、Ｓｉの表面濃化を抑制して合金化温度を低減させる技術である。   In the present invention, the direct oxidation furnace (DFF) is used in the heating zone to sufficiently oxidize the surface of the steel sheet, and then the entire soaking zone is sufficiently oxidized with a higher dew point than the ordinary dew point to sufficiently oxidize the Si. This is a technique for reducing the alloying temperature by suppressing the surface concentration of Si.

The continuous hot dip galvanizing apparatus 100 also has an alloying equipment 23 for heat-alloying galvanizing.

鋼帯Ｐは、第１加熱帯１０Ａの下部の鋼帯導入口から第１加熱帯１０Ａ内に導入される。各帯１０，１２，１４，１６には、上部及び下部に１つ以上のハースロールが配置される。ハースロールを起点に鋼帯Ｐが１８０度折り返される場合、鋼帯Ｐは焼鈍炉２０の所定の帯の内部で上下方向に複数回搬送され、複数パスを形成する。図１においては、均熱帯１２で１０パス、第１冷却帯１４で２パス、第２冷却帯１６で２パスの例を示したが、パス数はこれに限定されず、処理条件に応じて適宜設定可能である。また、一部のハースロールでは、鋼帯Ｐを折り返すことなく直角に方向転換させて、鋼帯Ｐを次の帯へと移動させる。このようにして、鋼帯Ｐを焼鈍炉２０の内部で、加熱帯１０、均熱帯１２及び冷却帯１４，１６の順に搬送して、鋼帯Ｐに対して焼鈍を行うことができる。   The steel strip P is introduced into the first heating zone 10A from the steel strip inlet at the bottom of the first heating zone 10A. In each of the bands 10, 12, 14, and 16, one or more hearth rolls are disposed at the upper and lower portions. When the steel strip P is folded back 180 degrees starting from the hearth roll, the steel strip P is conveyed a plurality of times in the vertical direction inside a predetermined strip of the annealing furnace 20 to form a plurality of passes. In FIG. 1, an example of 10 passes in the soaking zone 12, 2 passes in the first cooling zone 14, and 2 passes in the second cooling zone 16 is shown. However, the number of passes is not limited to this, and it depends on the processing conditions. It can be set as appropriate. Further, in some hearth rolls, the steel strip P is changed to a right angle without turning back, and the steel strip P is moved to the next strip. In this way, the steel strip P can be transported in the annealing furnace 20 in the order of the heating zone 10, the soaking zone 12, and the cooling zones 14 and 16, and the steel strip P can be annealed.

焼鈍炉２０において、隣接する帯は、それぞれの帯の上部同士または下部同士を接続する連通部を介して連通している。本実施形態では、第１加熱帯１０Ａと第２加熱帯１０Ｂとは、それぞれの帯の上部同士を接続するスロート（絞り部）を介して連通する。第２加熱帯１０Ｂと均熱帯１２とは、それぞれの帯の下部同士を接続するスロートを介して連通する。均熱帯１２と第１冷却帯１４とは、それぞれの帯の下部同士を接続するスロート３２を介して連通する。第１冷却帯１４と第２冷却帯１６とは、それぞれの帯の下部同士を接続するスロートを介して連通する。各スロートの高さは適宜設定すればよいが、ハースロールの直径が１ｍ程度であることから、１．５ｍ以上とすることが好ましい。ただし、各帯の雰囲気の独立性を高める観点から、各連通部の高さはなるべく低いことが好ましい。   In the annealing furnace 20, the adjacent bands communicate with each other via a communication portion that connects the upper parts or the lower parts of the respective bands. In the present embodiment, the first heating zone 10 </ b> A and the second heating zone 10 </ b> B communicate with each other via a throat (throttle portion) that connects the upper portions of the respective zones. The second heating zone 10B and the soaking zone 12 communicate with each other via a throat that connects the lower portions of each zone. The soaking zone 12 and the first cooling zone 14 communicate with each other via a throat 32 that connects lower portions of the respective zones. The 1st cooling zone 14 and the 2nd cooling zone 16 are connected via the throat which connects the lower parts of each zone. The height of each throat may be set as appropriate, but since the hearth roll has a diameter of about 1 m, it is preferably 1.5 m or more. However, from the viewpoint of increasing the independence of the atmosphere of each band, it is preferable that the height of each communication portion is as low as possible.

（加熱帯）
本実施形態において、第２加熱帯１０Ｂは、直火型加熱炉（ＤＦＦ）である。ＤＦＦは例えば特許文献１に記載されるような公知のものを用いることができる。図１においては図示しないが、第２加熱帯１０Ｂにおける直火型加熱炉の内壁には、複数のバーナが鋼帯Ｐに対向して分散配置される。複数のバーナは複数のグループに分けられ、グループごとに燃料率及び空気比を独立に制御可能とすることが好ましい。第1加熱帯１０Ａの内部には、第２加熱帯１０Ｂの燃焼排ガスが供給され、その熱で鋼帯Ｐを予熱する。 (Heating zone)
In the present embodiment, the second heating zone 10B is a direct-fired heating furnace (DFF). As the DFF, for example, a known one described in Patent Document 1 can be used. Although not shown in FIG. 1, a plurality of burners are arranged in a distributed manner facing the steel strip P on the inner wall of the direct-fired heating furnace in the second heating zone 10B. The plurality of burners are preferably divided into a plurality of groups, and the fuel ratio and the air ratio can be independently controlled for each group. The combustion exhaust gas from the second heating zone 10B is supplied into the first heating zone 10A, and the steel strip P is preheated by the heat.

燃焼率は、実際にバーナに導入した燃料ガス量を、最大燃焼負荷時のバーナの燃料ガス量で割った値である。バーナを最大燃焼負荷で燃焼したときが燃焼率１００％である。バーナは、燃焼負荷が低くなると安定した燃焼状態が得られなくなる。よって、燃焼率は通常３０％以上とすることが好ましい。   The combustion rate is a value obtained by dividing the amount of fuel gas actually introduced into the burner by the amount of fuel gas in the burner at the maximum combustion load. When the burner is burned at the maximum combustion load, the burning rate is 100%. The burner cannot obtain a stable combustion state when the combustion load becomes low. Therefore, it is preferable that the combustion rate is usually 30% or more.

空気比は、実際のバーナに導入した空気量を、燃料ガスを完全燃焼するために必要な空気量で割った値である。本実施形態では、第２加熱帯１０Ｂの加熱用バーナを４つの群（＃１〜＃４）に分割し、鋼板移動方向上流側の３つの群（＃１〜＃３）は酸化用バーナ、最終ゾーン（＃４）は還元用バーナとし、酸化用バーナ及び還元用バーナの空気比を個別に制御可能とした。酸化用バーナでは、空気比を０．９５以上１．５以下とすることが好ましい。還元用バーナでは、空気比を０．５以上０．９５未満とすることが好ましい。また、第２加熱帯１０Ｂの内部の温度は、８００〜１２００℃とすることが好ましい。   The air ratio is a value obtained by dividing the amount of air introduced into the actual burner by the amount of air necessary for complete combustion of the fuel gas. In the present embodiment, the heating burner of the second heating zone 10B is divided into four groups (# 1 to # 4), and the three groups (# 1 to # 3) on the upstream side in the steel plate moving direction are oxidation burners, The final zone (# 4) is a reduction burner, and the air ratio of the oxidation burner and the reduction burner can be individually controlled. In the oxidation burner, the air ratio is preferably 0.95 or more and 1.5 or less. In the reduction burner, the air ratio is preferably 0.5 or more and less than 0.95. Moreover, it is preferable that the temperature inside the 2nd heating zone 10B shall be 800-1200 degreeC.

（均熱帯）
本実施形態において均熱帯１２では、加熱手段としてラジアントチューブ（ＲＴ）（図示せず）を用いて、鋼帯Ｐを間接加熱することができる。均熱帯１２の内部の平均温度Tr（℃）は７００〜９００℃とすることが好ましい。 (Soaking)
In this embodiment, in the soaking zone 12, the steel strip P can be indirectly heated using a radiant tube (RT) (not shown) as a heating means. The average temperature Tr (° C.) inside the soaking zone 12 is preferably 700 to 900 ° C.

均熱帯１２には還元性ガス又は非酸化性ガスが供給される。還元性ガスとしては、通常Ｈ2−Ｎ2混合ガスが用いられ、例えばＨ2：1〜２０体積％、残部がＮ2および不可避的不純物からなる組成を有するガス（露点：−６０℃程度）が挙げられる。また、非酸化性ガスとしては、Ｎ2および不可避的不純物からなる組成を有するガス（露点：−６０℃程度）が挙げられる。 The soaking zone 12 is supplied with reducing gas or non-oxidizing gas. As the reducing gas, a mixed gas of H 2 —N 2 is usually used, for example, H 2 : 1 to 20% by volume, and the balance is composed of N 2 and inevitable impurities (dew point: about −60 ° C.) Is mentioned. Examples of the non-oxidizing gas include a gas (dew point: about −60 ° C.) having a composition composed of N 2 and inevitable impurities.

本実施形態では、均熱帯１２に供給される還元性ガス又は非酸化性ガスは、混合ガス及び乾燥ガスの二形態である。である。ここで、「乾燥ガス」とは、露点が−６０℃〜−５０℃程度の上記還元性ガス又は非酸化性ガスであって、加湿装置により加湿されていないものである。一方、「混合ガス」とは、加湿装置により加湿されたガスと、加湿装置により加湿されていないガスとを、露点が−２０〜１０℃となるように所定の混合比で混合して得たものである。   In the present embodiment, the reducing gas or non-oxidizing gas supplied to the soaking zone 12 is in two forms: a mixed gas and a dry gas. It is. Here, the “dry gas” is the reducing gas or non-oxidizing gas having a dew point of about −60 ° C. to −50 ° C., and is not humidified by a humidifier. On the other hand, the “mixed gas” is obtained by mixing a gas humidified by a humidifier and a gas not humidified by a humidifier at a predetermined mixing ratio so that the dew point is −20 to 10 ° C. Is.

図２は、均熱帯１２への混合ガスの供給系を示す模式図である。混合ガスは、混合ガス供給口３６Ａ，３６Ｂ，３６Ｃと、混合ガス供給口３８Ａ，３８Ｂ，３８Ｃの二系統で供給される。図２において、上記還元性ガス又は非酸化性ガス（乾燥ガス）は、ガス分配装置２４によって、一部は加湿装置２６へと送られ、残部はガス混合装置３０へと送られる。ガス混合装置３０では、加湿装置２６で加湿されたガスと、ガス分配装置２４から直接送られた乾燥ガスとを所定比率で混合して、所定の露点の混合ガスに調製する。調製された混合ガスは、混合ガス用配管３４を経由して、混合ガス供給口３６，３８より均熱帯１２内に供給される。符号３２は混合ガス用露点計である。   FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating a mixed gas supply system to the soaking zone 12. The mixed gas is supplied by two systems of mixed gas supply ports 36A, 36B, and 36C and mixed gas supply ports 38A, 38B, and 38C. In FIG. 2, a part of the reducing gas or non-oxidizing gas (dry gas) is sent to the humidifier 26 by the gas distribution device 24, and the remainder is sent to the gas mixing device 30. In the gas mixing device 30, the gas humidified by the humidifying device 26 and the dry gas sent directly from the gas distribution device 24 are mixed at a predetermined ratio to prepare a mixed gas having a predetermined dew point. The prepared mixed gas is supplied into the soaking zone 12 through the mixed gas supply ports 36 and 38 via the mixed gas pipe 34. Reference numeral 32 denotes a mixed gas dew point meter.

加湿装置２６内には、フッ素系もしくはポリイミド系の中空糸膜又は平膜等を有する加湿モジュールがあり、膜の内側には乾燥ガスを流し、膜の外側には循環恒温水槽２８で所定温度に調整された純水を循環させる。フッ素系もしくはポリイミド系の中空糸膜又は平膜とは、水分子との親和力を有するイオン交換膜の一種である。中空糸膜の内側と外側に水分濃度差が生じると、その濃度差を均等にしようとする力が発生し、水分はその力をドライビングフォースとして低い水分濃度の方へ膜を透過し移動する。乾燥ガス温度は、季節や１日の気温変化にしたがって変化するが、この加湿装置では、水蒸気透過膜を介したガスと水の接触面積を十分に取ることで熱交換も行えるため、乾燥ガス温度が循環水温より高くても低くても、乾燥ガスは設定水温と同じ露点まで加湿されたガスとなり、高精度な露点制御が可能となる。加湿ガスの露点は５〜５０℃の範囲で任意に制御可能である。加湿ガスの露点が配管周りの外気温よりも低いと配管内で結露してしまい、結露した水が直接炉内に浸入する可能性があるので、加湿ガス用の配管は外気温以上に加熱・保熱されている。   In the humidifier 26, there is a humidification module having a fluorine-based or polyimide-based hollow fiber membrane or a flat membrane, and a dry gas is allowed to flow inside the membrane, and the outside of the membrane is brought to a predetermined temperature in a circulating constant temperature water bath 28. Circulate adjusted pure water. A fluorine-based or polyimide-based hollow fiber membrane or a flat membrane is a kind of ion exchange membrane having an affinity for water molecules. When a difference in moisture concentration occurs between the inside and outside of the hollow fiber membrane, a force is generated to make the concentration difference uniform, and the moisture permeates through the membrane toward a lower moisture concentration using the force as a driving force. The dry gas temperature changes according to the season and daily temperature change, but this humidifier can also exchange heat by taking sufficient contact area between the gas and water through the water vapor permeable membrane. Regardless of whether the temperature is higher or lower than the circulating water temperature, the dry gas becomes a gas humidified to the same dew point as the set water temperature, and high-precision dew point control is possible. The dew point of the humidified gas can be arbitrarily controlled in the range of 5 to 50 ° C. If the dew point of the humidified gas is lower than the ambient temperature around the piping, condensation may occur in the piping, and the condensed water may directly enter the furnace. It is insulated.

ガス混合装置３０におけるガスの混合割合を調整すれば、任意の露点の混合ガスを均熱帯１２内に供給できる。均熱帯１２内の露点が目標範囲を下回るようであれば、高い露点の混合ガスを供給し、均熱帯１２内の露点が目標範囲を上回るようであれば、低い露点の混合ガスを供給することができる。   By adjusting the gas mixing ratio in the gas mixing device 30, a mixed gas having an arbitrary dew point can be supplied into the soaking zone 12. If the dew point in the soaking zone 12 is below the target range, supply a mixed gas with a high dew point. If the dew point in the soaking zone 12 is above the target range, supply a mixed gas with a low dew point. Can do.

（冷却帯）
本実施形態において冷却帯１４，１６では、鋼帯Ｐが冷却される。鋼帯Ｐは、第１冷却帯１４では４８０〜５３０℃程度にまで冷却され、第２冷却帯１６では４７０〜５００℃程度にまで冷却される。 (Cooling zone)
In the present embodiment, the steel strip P is cooled in the cooling zones 14 and 16. The steel strip P is cooled to about 480 to 530 ° C. in the first cooling zone 14 and is cooled to about 470 to 500 ° C. in the second cooling zone 16.

冷却帯１４，１６にも、上記還元性ガス又は非酸化性ガスが供給されるが、ここでは、乾燥ガスのみが供給される。   Although the reducing gas or non-oxidizing gas is also supplied to the cooling zones 14 and 16, only the dry gas is supplied here.

（溶融亜鉛めっき浴）
第２冷却帯１６から排出される鋼帯Ｐに対して、溶融亜鉛めっき浴２２を用いて溶融亜鉛めっきを施すことができる。溶融亜鉛めっきは定法に従って行えばよい。 (Hot galvanizing bath)
The steel strip P discharged from the second cooling zone 16 can be hot dip galvanized using the hot dip galvanizing bath 22. Hot dip galvanization may be performed according to a conventional method.

（合金化溶融亜鉛めっき鋼板の製造方法）
本発明の一実施形態は、この連続溶融亜鉛めっき装置１００を用いた合金化溶融亜鉛めっき鋼板の製造方法である。焼鈍炉２０内のガスは、炉の下流から上流に流れる。従って、均熱帯１２内の露点を制御するためには、ガス流れの上流になる冷却帯１４，１６に供給されるガス流量も考慮する必要がある。通常は、焼鈍炉内各位置に乾燥ガスを供給し、炉内が所定範囲の陽圧となるようにする。炉内圧力が低下すると、焼鈍炉内に外気が混入し、炉内酸素濃度や露点が上昇してしまい、鋼帯が酸化して酸化スケールが発生したり、ハースロール表面が酸化してピックアップ欠陥が発生したりするためである。一方、炉内圧力が過度に上昇すると、炉体そのものを損傷させる危険がある。このように炉内圧力制御は、安定製造のために非常に重要となる。また、均熱帯１２も含めた炉内圧力は、冷却帯１４，１６のガスジェット噴射条件によって変化する。したがって、板厚、板幅、ライン速度、焼鈍温度、冷却停止温度等の操業条件変更に応じて、供給ガス量を調整する必要がある。 (Method for producing alloyed hot-dip galvanized steel sheet)
One embodiment of the present invention is a method for producing an alloyed hot-dip galvanized steel sheet using the continuous hot-dip galvanizing apparatus 100. The gas in the annealing furnace 20 flows from the downstream to the upstream of the furnace. Therefore, in order to control the dew point in the soaking zone 12, it is necessary to consider the flow rate of the gas supplied to the cooling zones 14, 16 upstream of the gas flow. Usually, a dry gas is supplied to each position in the annealing furnace so that the furnace has a positive pressure in a predetermined range. When the pressure in the furnace decreases, outside air enters the annealing furnace, the furnace oxygen concentration and dew point increase, the steel strip oxidizes and generates oxide scale, and the hearth roll surface oxidizes and picks up defects. This is because it may occur. On the other hand, if the furnace pressure rises excessively, there is a risk of damaging the furnace body itself. As described above, the pressure control in the furnace is very important for stable production. Further, the pressure in the furnace including the soaking zone 12 varies depending on the gas jet injection conditions of the cooling zones 14 and 16. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the amount of supplied gas in accordance with changes in operating conditions such as plate thickness, plate width, line speed, annealing temperature, and cooling stop temperature.

このように通常想定される操業条件変化に対応して、炉圧を維持しながら、均熱帯１２の露点を−２０〜０℃に安定して制御するための露点制御方法に関して、発明者らは鋭意検討を行った。そして、発明者らは、以下に説明するように、均熱帯１２への混合ガス及び乾燥ガスの導入、冷却帯１４，１６への乾燥ガスの導入、並びに、均熱帯１２内の温度設定を、所定の条件を満たすように行うことで、均熱帯１２の露点を−２０〜０℃に安定して制御することができることを見出した。   As described above, regarding the dew point control method for stably controlling the dew point of the soaking zone 12 at -20 to 0 ° C. while maintaining the furnace pressure, the inventors have responded to the change in the operating conditions normally assumed. We conducted an intensive study. The inventors then introduced the mixed gas and dry gas into the soaking zone 12, introduced the drying gas into the cooling zones 14 and 16, and set the temperature in the soaking zone 12, as described below. It has been found that the dew point of the soaking zone 12 can be stably controlled at -20 to 0 ° C by performing so as to satisfy the predetermined condition.

図３は、均熱帯１２への混合ガス及び乾燥ガスの供給系、並びに、第１冷却帯１４及び第２冷却帯１６への乾燥ガスの供給系を示す模式図である。図３に示すように、パラメータを以下のように定義する。
Vr（m3）：均熱帯１２の容積
Qrw（Nm3/hr）：均熱帯１２に供給される混合ガスのガス流量
Wr（ppm）：均熱帯１２に供給される混合ガスの含有水分
Qrd（Nm3/hr）：均熱帯１２に供給される乾燥ガスのガス流量
Qcd（Nm3/hr）：冷却帯１４，１６に供給される乾燥ガスのガス流量（合計）
Tr（℃）：均熱帯の内部の平均温度 FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram showing a mixed gas and dry gas supply system to the soaking zone 12 and a dry gas supply system to the first cooling zone 14 and the second cooling zone 16. As shown in FIG. 3, the parameters are defined as follows.
Vr (m 3 ): Volume of soaking tropics 12
Qrw (Nm 3 / hr): Gas flow rate of the mixed gas supplied to the soaking zone 12
Wr (ppm): Moisture content of mixed gas supplied to soaking zone 12
Qrd (Nm 3 / hr): Gas flow rate of dry gas supplied to the soaking zone 12
Qcd (Nm 3 / hr): Gas flow rate of the dry gas supplied to the cooling zones 14 and 16 (total)
Tr (℃): Average temperature inside the soaking zone

本実施形態では、これらのパラメータが以下の式（１）〜（３）を満たすようにすることが重要である。

Figure 0006128068
Figure 0006128068
 Wr≦12120 ・・・（３） In the present embodiment, it is important that these parameters satisfy the following expressions (1) to (3).
Figure 0006128068
Figure 0006128068
 Wr ≦ 12120 (3)

式（１）は、均熱帯１２に供給される混合ガスの水分量を規定するものであり、均熱帯及び冷却帯に供給されるガスの総量に対して水分量を1230〜6030ppmに管理する必要があることを示している。水分量が1230ppm以下の場合、均熱帯１２内の加湿が不十分となり、均熱帯１２内の露点が−２０℃未満と低くなりすぎ、その結果、合金化温度が上昇し、引張強度が低下する。一方、水分量が6030ppm以上の場合、均熱帯１２内の加湿が過剰となり、均熱帯１２内の露点が０℃超えと高くなりすぎ、その結果、ピックアップ欠陥が発生してしまい、めっき外観が損なわれる。   Formula (1) regulates the moisture content of the mixed gas supplied to the soaking zone 12, and it is necessary to control the moisture content to 1230-6030 ppm with respect to the total amount of gas supplied to the soaking zone and the cooling zone. It shows that there is. When the water content is 1230 ppm or less, humidification in the soaking zone 12 becomes insufficient, and the dew point in the soaking zone 12 becomes too low at −20 ° C., resulting in an increase in alloying temperature and a decrease in tensile strength. . On the other hand, when the water content is 6030 ppm or more, humidification in the soaking zone 12 becomes excessive, and the dew point in the soaking zone 12 becomes too high at 0 ° C. As a result, pick-up defects occur and the plating appearance is impaired. It is.

式（２）は、均熱帯１２及び冷却帯１４，１６に供給されるガス流量の合計を規定するものである。供給されたガスは、炉内で加熱されて膨張するが、ガス流量の合計を（２）式の範囲で制御すれば、大きな炉圧変動なく、安定操業が可能となる。ガス流量の合計が式（２）の左辺の値以下の場合、炉内圧力が低下し、焼鈍炉２０内に外気が混入し、炉内酸素濃度や露点が上昇してしまい、鋼帯Ｐが酸化して酸化スケールが発生したり、ハースロール表面が酸化してピックアップ欠陥が発生したりするためである。ガス流量の合計が式（２）の右辺の値以上の場合、炉内圧力が過度に上昇して、炉体そのものを損傷させる危険がある。   Expression (2) defines the sum of the gas flow rates supplied to the soaking zone 12 and the cooling zones 14 and 16. The supplied gas is heated and expanded in the furnace, but if the total gas flow rate is controlled within the range of equation (2), stable operation is possible without large furnace pressure fluctuations. If the total gas flow is less than or equal to the value on the left side of equation (2), the pressure inside the furnace decreases, outside air enters the annealing furnace 20, the furnace oxygen concentration and dew point rise, and the steel strip P becomes This is because oxidation scales are generated by oxidation, or the hearth roll surface is oxidized and pickup defects are generated. When the total gas flow rate is equal to or greater than the value on the right side of the formula (2), the pressure in the furnace rises excessively and there is a risk of damaging the furnace body itself.

式（３）では、混合ガスの水分量Wrの上限を規定している。Wrが12120ppm超えの場合、均熱帯１２内の加湿が過剰となり、均熱帯１２内の露点が０℃超えと高くなりすぎ、その結果、ピックアップ欠陥が発生してしまい、めっき外観が損なわれる。   In Formula (3), the upper limit of the water content Wr of the mixed gas is defined. When Wr exceeds 12120 ppm, the humidification in the soaking zone 12 becomes excessive, and the dew point in the soaking zone 12 becomes too high at over 0 ° C. As a result, pick-up defects occur and the plating appearance is impaired.

本発明において、ガス流量Qrw，Qrd，Qcdは、配管に設けられたガス流量計（図示せず）により測定する。また、均熱帯１２に供給される混合ガスの含有水分Wrは、露点計により測定する。露点計は、鏡面式あるいは静電容量式のいずれのタイプでも良いし、それ以外のタイプでもかまわない。また、均熱帯１２の内部の平均温度Trは、均熱帯内に熱電対を挿入することによりにより測定する。   In the present invention, the gas flow rates Qrw, Qrd, and Qcd are measured by a gas flow meter (not shown) provided in the pipe. Further, the moisture content Wr of the mixed gas supplied to the soaking zone 12 is measured by a dew point meter. The dew point meter may be either a mirror type or a capacitance type, or any other type. The average temperature Tr inside the soaking zone 12 is measured by inserting a thermocouple into the soaking zone.

混合ガスの露点から含有水分Wrを算出するのは、以下の式（４）に従って行うことができる。

 T: Dew point (° C)

これらのパラメータは、上記式（１）〜（３）を満たす限り特に限定されないが、通常は以下の範囲とする。均熱帯１２に供給される混合ガスのガス流量Qrwは、１００〜５００（Nm3/hr）程度とする。均熱帯１２に供給される混合ガスの含有水分Wrは、2820〜12120（ppm）程度とする。均熱帯１２に供給される乾燥ガスのガス流量Qrdは、０〜６００（Nm3/hr）程度とする。冷却帯１４，１６に供給される乾燥ガスのガス流量Qcdは、２００〜１０００（Nm3/hr）程度とする。 These parameters are not particularly limited as long as the above formulas (1) to (3) are satisfied, but are usually in the following ranges. The gas flow rate Qrw of the mixed gas supplied to the soaking zone 12 is about 100 to 500 (Nm 3 / hr). The water content Wr of the mixed gas supplied to the soaking zone 12 is about 2820 to 12120 (ppm). The gas flow rate Qrd of the dry gas supplied to the soaking zone 12 is about 0 to 600 (Nm 3 / hr). The gas flow rate Qcd of the dry gas supplied to the cooling zones 14 and 16 is about 200 to 1000 (Nm 3 / hr).

均熱帯１２への混合ガスの供給は、均熱帯１２の高さ方向の下部１／２の領域に設けられた複数の加湿ガス供給口から行うことが好ましい。特に、図２に示すように、複数の加湿ガス供給口は、２つ以上の異なる高さ位置に配置され、それぞれの高さ位置において、複数配置されることが好ましい。鋼帯進行方向に均等に配置することがさらに好ましい。   The supply of the mixed gas to the soaking zone 12 is preferably performed from a plurality of humidified gas supply ports provided in the lower half region of the soaking zone 12 in the height direction. In particular, as shown in FIG. 2, the plurality of humidified gas supply ports are preferably arranged at two or more different height positions, and a plurality of humidified gas supply ports are preferably arranged at the respective height positions. More preferably, the steel strips are evenly arranged in the traveling direction of the steel strip.

また、均熱帯１２への乾燥ガスの供給は、図３に示すように、均熱帯１２の高さ方向の下部１／２の領域に設けられた少なくとも１つの乾燥ガス供給口と、上部１／２の領域に設けられた少なくとも１つの乾燥ガス供給口とから行うことが好ましい。   Further, as shown in FIG. 3, the supply of the dry gas to the soaking zone 12 includes at least one drying gas supply port provided in a lower half region in the height direction of the soaking zone 12 and an upper 1 / It is preferable to carry out from at least one dry gas supply port provided in the area of 2.

冷却帯１４，１６への乾燥ガスの供給は特に限定されないが、冷却帯内に均等に投入されるように、高さ方向２ヶ所以上、長手方向２ヶ所以上の投入口から供給することが好ましい。   The supply of the drying gas to the cooling zones 14 and 16 is not particularly limited, but it is preferable to supply the drying gas from two or more inlets in the height direction and two or more inlets in the longitudinal direction so as to be uniformly introduced into the cooling zone. .

焼鈍炉２０内のガスは、炉の下流から上流に流れ、第１加熱帯１０Ａの下部の鋼帯導入口から排出される。   The gas in the annealing furnace 20 flows from the downstream to the upstream of the furnace and is discharged from the steel strip inlet at the bottom of the first heating zone 10A.

以上説明した本実施形態によれば、均熱帯１２の高さ方向の上部１／５の領域（例えば図２の露点測定位置４０Ｂ）で測定される露点と、下部１／５の領域（例えば図２の露点測定位置４０Ａ）で測定される露点とを、共に−２０℃以上０℃以下とすることができる。   According to this embodiment described above, the dew point measured in the upper 1/5 region (for example, the dew point measurement position 40B in FIG. 2) in the height direction of the soaking zone 12 and the lower 1/5 region (for example, FIG. And the dew point measured at the dew point measuring position 40A) of 2 can be both -20 ° C or higher and 0 ° C or lower.

均熱帯１２における還元焼鈍工程は、加熱帯１０における酸化処理工程で鋼帯表面に形成された鉄酸化物を還元するとともに、鉄酸化物から供給される酸素によって、ＳｉやＭｎの合金元素が鋼帯内部に内部酸化物として生成する。結果として、鋼帯最表面には鉄酸化物から還元された還元鉄層が形成され、ＳｉやＭｎは内部酸化物として鋼帯内部に留まるために、鋼帯表面でのＳｉやＭｎの酸化が抑制され、鋼帯と溶融めっきの濡れ性の低下を防止し、不めっきなく良好なめっき密着性を得ることができる。   The reduction annealing process in the soaking zone 12 reduces the iron oxide formed on the surface of the steel strip in the oxidation treatment process in the heating zone 10, and the alloy elements of Si and Mn are made of steel by oxygen supplied from the iron oxide. It forms as an internal oxide inside the band. As a result, a reduced iron layer reduced from iron oxide is formed on the outermost surface of the steel strip, and since Si and Mn remain inside the steel strip as internal oxides, oxidation of Si and Mn on the steel strip surface is prevented. It is suppressed, the wettability of the steel strip and the hot dipping is prevented from being lowered, and good plating adhesion can be obtained without unplating.

しかしながら、良好なめっき密着性は得られるものの、Ｓｉ含有鋼における合金化温度は高温になるために、残留オーステナイト相のパーライト相への分解や、マルテンサイト相の焼き戻し軟化が起こるために、所望の機械特性が得られない場合がある。そこで、合金化温度を低減させるための技術の検討を行った結果、Ｓｉの内部酸化を更に積極的に形成させることで、鋼帯表層の固溶Ｓｉ量を低下させ、合金化反応を促進できることがわかった。そのためには、均熱帯１２内の雰囲気露点を−２０℃以上に制御することが有効である。   However, although good plating adhesion can be obtained, the alloying temperature in the Si-containing steel becomes high, so that decomposition of the retained austenite phase into the pearlite phase and temper softening of the martensite phase occur. However, the mechanical characteristics may not be obtained. Therefore, as a result of investigating the technology for reducing the alloying temperature, the amount of solute Si in the steel strip surface layer can be reduced and the alloying reaction can be promoted by more actively forming the internal oxidation of Si. I understood. For that purpose, it is effective to control the atmospheric dew point in the soaking zone 12 to -20 ° C or higher.

均熱帯１２内の露点を−２０℃以上に制御すると、鉄酸化物から酸素が供給されて、Ｓｉの内部酸化物が形成した後も、雰囲気のＨ2Ｏから供給される酸素によってＳｉの内部酸化が継続して起こるために、より多くのＳｉの内部酸化が生じる。すると、内部酸化が形成された鋼帯表層の内部の領域において、固溶Ｓｉ量が低下する。固溶Ｓｉ量が低下すると、鋼帯表層はあたかも低Ｓｉ鋼のような挙動を示し、その後の合金化反応が促進され、低温で合金化反応が進行する。合金化温度が低下した結果として、残留オーステナイト相が高分率で維持できることにより延性が向上する。また、マルテンサイト相の焼き戻し軟化が進行せずに、所望の強度が得られることになる。均熱帯１２内では、露点が＋１０℃以上になると、鋼帯地鉄が酸化し始めるため、均熱帯１２内の露点分布の均一性や露点変動幅を最小化する理由から、露点の上限は０℃で管理することが好ましい。 By controlling the dew point of the soaking zone 12 above -20 ° C., the inside of oxygen is supplied from the iron oxide, even after the internal oxide of Si is formed, Si by oxygen supplied from of H 2 O atmosphere As oxidation continues, more Si internal oxidation occurs. Then, the amount of solid solution Si falls in the area | region inside the steel strip surface layer in which internal oxidation was formed. When the amount of solute Si decreases, the steel strip surface layer behaves as if it is a low Si steel, the subsequent alloying reaction is promoted, and the alloying reaction proceeds at a low temperature. As a result of the decrease in alloying temperature, the retained austenite phase can be maintained at a high fraction, thereby improving ductility. Further, the desired strength can be obtained without the temper softening of the martensite phase proceeding. In the soaking zone 12, when the dew point reaches + 10 ° C or higher, the steel strip starts to oxidize. Therefore, the upper limit of the dew point is 0 ° C because the uniformity of the dew point distribution in the soaking zone 12 and the fluctuation range of the dew point are minimized. It is preferable to manage with.

本実施形態では、製造された溶融亜鉛めっき鋼板に対して、合金化処理を行う。本実施形態によれば、合金化温度が高温にならないため、製造された合金化溶融亜鉛めっき鋼板の引張強度が低下することがない。   In this embodiment, an alloying process is performed with respect to the manufactured hot dip galvanized steel sheet. According to this embodiment, since the alloying temperature does not become high, the tensile strength of the manufactured alloyed hot-dip galvanized steel sheet does not decrease.

焼鈍及び溶融亜鉛めっき処理の対象とする鋼帯Ｐは特に限定されないが、Ｓｉを０．２質量％以上含有する成分組成の鋼帯の場合、本発明の効果を有利に得ることができる。   The steel strip P to be subjected to annealing and hot dip galvanizing is not particularly limited, but the effect of the present invention can be advantageously obtained in the case of a steel strip having a component composition containing 0.2 mass% or more of Si.

（実験条件）
図１〜図３に示す連続溶融亜鉛めっき装置を用いて、表１に示す成分組成の鋼帯を表２に示す各種焼鈍条件で焼鈍し、その後溶融亜鉛めっき及び合金化処理を施した。 (Experimental conditions)
Using the continuous hot dip galvanizing apparatus shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the steel strip having the composition shown in Table 1 was annealed under various annealing conditions shown in Table 2, and then hot dip galvanized and alloyed.

The average temperature Tr in the soaking zone was set as shown in Table 2. As the drying gas, a gas (dew point: −50 ° C.) having a composition composed of 15% by volume of H 2 and the balance of N 2 and inevitable impurities was used. A part of the dry gas was humidified by a humidifier having a hollow fiber membrane humidifier to prepare a mixed gas. The hollow fiber membrane humidifier was composed of 10 membrane modules, and each module was supplied with a maximum of 500 L / min of dry gas and a maximum of 10 L / min of circulating water. A circulating water bath is used in common, and a total of 100 L / min of pure water can be supplied. The mixed gas supply port and the dry gas supply port were arranged at the positions shown in FIG. Other conditions are shown in Table 2.

第１冷却帯及び第２冷却帯には、図３に示す位置から上記乾燥ガス（露点：−５０℃）を表２に示す流量で供給した。   The dry gas (dew point: −50 ° C.) was supplied to the first cooling zone and the second cooling zone from the position shown in FIG.

めっき浴温は４６０℃、めっき浴中Ａｌ濃度０．１３０％、付着量はガスワイピングにより片面当り４５ｇ／ｍ2に調節した。なお、ライン速度は80〜100mpmとした。また、溶融亜鉛めっきを施した後に、皮膜合金化度（Fe含有率）が１０〜１３％内となる表２に示す合金化温度で、誘導加熱式合金化炉にて合金化処理を行った。 The plating bath temperature was 460 ° C., the Al concentration in the plating bath was 0.130%, and the adhesion amount was adjusted to 45 g / m 2 per side by gas wiping. The line speed was 80-100 mpm. Further, after the hot dip galvanization, the alloying treatment was performed in the induction heating type alloying furnace at the alloying temperature shown in Table 2 in which the degree of film alloying (Fe content) was within 10 to 13%. .

（評価方法）
めっき外観の評価は、光学式の表面欠陥計による検査（φ０．５以上の不めっき欠陥や過酸化性欠陥を検出）および目視による合金化ムラ判定を行い、全ての項目が合格で○、軽度の合金化ムラがある場合は△、一つでも不合格があれば×とした。また、コイル１０００ｍあたりの合金化ムラの発生長さを測定した。結果を表２に示す。 (Evaluation method)
Plating appearance is evaluated by optical surface defect meter inspection (detection of non-plating defects and peroxide defects of φ0.5 or more) and visual judgment of alloying unevenness. △ when there was an alloying unevenness, and × if there was any failure. Further, the length of occurrence of alloying unevenness per 1000 m of the coil was measured. The results are shown in Table 2.

また、各種条件で製造した合金化溶融亜鉛めっき鋼板の引張強度を測定した。鋼種Ａは590MPa以上、鋼種Ｂは780MPa以上、鋼種Ｃは980MPa以上を合格とした。結果を表２に示す。   Moreover, the tensile strength of the galvannealed steel plate manufactured on various conditions was measured.

また、均熱帯内の露点は図２に示す位置で測定し、表２に示した。   The dew point in the soaking zone was measured at the position shown in FIG.

（評価結果）
表２に示すように、式（１）〜（３）を満足する本発明例では、露点を安定して０〜−２０℃内に制御できたため、めっき外観が良好であり、引張強度も高かった。一方、加湿ガスを含む混合ガスを供給しない比較例（No.1）では、鋼板によって持ち込まれる水分では足りず、通板にともなって均熱帯内の露点が低下した。したがって、均熱帯内の露点を十分に上昇させることができず、かつ炉内露点偏差も大きくなった。その結果、合金化ムラが発生し、合金化温度が上昇してしまい、引張強度も低下した。また、式（１）〜（３）を１つでも満足しない比較例でも、めっき外観と引張強度の両立はできなかった。 (Evaluation results)
As shown in Table 2, in the present invention example satisfying the formulas (1) to (3), the dew point was stably controlled within 0 to -20 ° C, so that the plating appearance was good and the tensile strength was high. It was. On the other hand, in the comparative example (No. 1) in which the mixed gas containing the humidified gas was not supplied, the moisture brought in by the steel plate was insufficient, and the dew point in the soaking zone decreased with the passing plate. Therefore, the dew point in the soaking zone could not be raised sufficiently, and the dew point deviation in the furnace became large. As a result, alloying unevenness occurred, the alloying temperature increased, and the tensile strength also decreased. Further, even in the comparative example not satisfying even one of the formulas (1) to (3), the plating appearance and the tensile strength could not be compatible.
