Abstract

PURPOSE:To easily control the temp. of a steel sheet to a desired value and to readily produce a high-quality annealed steel sheet by applying an induction heating system to the high-temp. part of an annealing furnace and a direct-fired reduction heating system to the low-temp. part, and controlling the current of the induction heating system at the time of continuously annealing a steel sheet. CONSTITUTION:When a steel sheet S is continuously annealed, the sheet S is firstly introduced into the direct-fired reduction heating zone through many hearth rolls 4, and directly heated to 600-700 deg.C by the reducing flame from many burners 2a wherein the fuel is burned at the air-to-fuel ratio of <=1.0. The temp. of the sheet S leaving the reduction heating zone is measured by a plate thermometer 3c provided at the inlet of the induction heating zone, the data are inputted to a temp. controller 3e and compared with a heat pattern, and the measured value by a plate thermometer at the outlet of the induction heating zone is also inputted to the temp. controller 3e and compared with the set heat pattern. As a result, a current source 3b to be supplied to an inductor 3a in the induction heating zone is controlled, hence an appropriate current is supplied to the inductor in the induction heating zone, and the sheet S is heated to an appropriate temp. of >=800 deg.C and annealed.

In the continuous annealing method, a radiant tube is generally used as a heating device, and heat treatment is performed using a heat pattern in which the steel plate is heated and soaked to 700 to 850° C. over 10 passes, and then cooled. When annealing is performed using this method, a process that conventionally required several tens of hours in patch annealing can be performed in just ten minutes. However, in terms of characteristics and quality, it has not fully reached the batch-type level, and reaching this level is an important issue. As a solution to this problem, high-temperature annealing is considered to be a promising solution.

However, if high-temperature annealing is to be performed using a conventionally used radiant tube, the heating rate of the radiant tube must be increased by 8 to 100 m. Since the length of the radiant tube must be increased, the equipment becomes larger and the equipment cost increases. In addition, radiant tubes have traditionally had problems with tube porosity and maintenance, and this tendency becomes even more severe when the temperature is raised further. Therefore, recently, direct flame reduction heating, which has excellent thermal efficiency, is being used instead of radiant tubes, which have many problems.

Direct flame reduction heating is a method of directly heating a steel plate, and if heated to the same temperature, it takes less than 1/1O of the time required for a radiant tube. Therefore, the equipment becomes compact, but in the high temperature range of 750°C or higher, C
Since oxidation by O2 and H20 is expected, its adjustment is difficult.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a method for continuous annealing of steel plates, in which the steel plate temperature is divided into a low temperature range reaching 600 to 700°C and a high temperature range reaching 800 to 900°C, and direct flame reduction heating is performed in the low temperature range. The method is characterized in that induction heating is performed in a high temperature range, the temperature of the steel plate is measured after it leaves the low temperature range, and heating is controlled so that the target heating temperature is achieved in the high temperature range.

In the present invention, since it is only necessary to control the current, it is easy to adjust in the high temperature range, and furthermore, the steel plate can be heated to 800~900 without oxidation.
Since it can be heated to ℃, it is possible to perform annealing comparable to batch-type annealing. Furthermore, since the heating rate is the same as direct-fire reduction heating, even if the high-temperature region is replaced with induction heating, the furnace length will not become longer.

As shown in FIG. 1, the present invention divides a heating zone 1 into a low-temperature zone 2 and a high-temperature zone 3.
It is designed to perform induction heating. As is generally known, direct flame reduction heating has lower equipment costs and running costs than other heating methods, and the heating rate is 10 times faster than the conventionally commonly used radiant tube.

Therefore, the furnace length can be reduced to 1/10, but when heated to 750° C. or higher using this method, the surface of the steel sheet is oxidized by CO2 and H20 even in the absence of free O2. Therefore, in the present invention, heating in low temperature range 2 is performed at 600 to 700
I try to limit it to °C. Direct flame heating is performed by a large number of burners 2a disposed along the furnace wall, but in this case the air-fuel ratio is set to 1.0 or less so that the flame extending from the tip of the burner does not turn into an oxidizing flame. Combustible gas or heavy oil is used as the fuel for combustion, and a premixing method or a burner tip mixing method is used for mixing with air.

On the other hand, although induction heating has higher equipment costs and running costs than direct flame reduction heating, it does not oxidize and can achieve heating speeds comparable to direct flame, so it can heat over 800℃ without increasing the furnace length. It is possible. Therefore, in the high temperature region 3, induction heating is used instead of direct flame reduction heating. Induction heating is mainly used for hardening, and for example, when continuously hardening a flat plate, two methods are generally used: horizontal magnetic flux method and vertical magnetic flux method, but in the present invention, either method may be used. However, since it is necessary to heat the steel plate S to 800 to 900°C, the vertical axis magnetic flux method is more advantageous if possible.

Moreover, in the case of this method, the amount of heat generated in the steel plate S can be freely controlled by current control or frequency control, and the time constant of the furnace can also be kept low. Therefore, it is easier to control the temperature than by direct flame reduction heating. In the present invention, taking advantage of this advantage, plate thermometers 3c and 3d for measuring the temperature of the steel plate S are arranged on the inlet and outlet sides of the high temperature zone 3, respectively, and based on the measured values, the temperature of the high temperature zone 3 is I try to control the temperature. The control may be current control or frequency control. And drawing board thermometers 3c, 3d
The temperature measured by is input to the temperature control device 3e,
It is compared with a heat pattern input in advance. For example, as an example of the heat pattern, in high-temperature annealing, the mode shown in FIG. 2 can be considered depending on the steel type. In the figure, 65
Heating below 0°C is direct flame reduction heating, and heating above 650°C is induction heating. Once the control amount is determined here, the current or frequency flowing through each inductor 3a, . . . is controlled based on the control amount.

Cooling after heating is carried out by any one of liquid cooling, gas jet cooling, roll cooling, and air/water cooling.
