    摘要: The disclosure provides a fully new method for hot-dip metal coating treatment, as a method for treating surfaces of a metal strip by hot-dip metal coating, by which inherent issues in conventional immersion coatings and spray coatings are avoided. In the disclosed method for hot-dip metal coating treatment, a surface of a metal strip is coated by discharging a droplet of a molten metal toward the surface of the metal strip, using a nozzle system configured to discharge the droplet of the molten metal from a nozzle due to an action of the Lorentz force generated on the molten metal by sending an electric current to the molten metal in a chamber, the chamber being applied with magnetic flux in a given direction, while the electric current sent in a direction perpendicular to the given direction.

    摘要: A continuous hot-dip plating machine includes: a sink roll provided in a plating bath and configured to upwardly change a transfer direction of the steel strip; a first support roll provided in the plating bath and located above the sink roll, the first support roll being in contact with a first surface of the steel strip in contact with the sink roll; and a second support roll provided in the plating bath and located above the first support roll, the second support roll being in contact with a second surface of the steel strip opposite the first surface. A diameter of the first support roll, a diameter of the second support roll, and a vertical distance between a rotation axis of the first support roll and a rotation axis of the second support roll satisfy specific conditions.

    摘要: Method for directly producing a pickling-free hot-plated sheet strip product from molten steel comprising: obtaining a refined molten steel; thin strip continuous casting: a mixed gas of an inert gas and a reducing gas is used for protection in the billet casting process; hot rolling: the cast strip is levelled at a high temperature so as to improve the sheet shape and rolled to a suitable thickness so as to change the product specification, or provide a mechanical disruption action on the iron oxide skin on the surface of the cast strip; reduction annealing: a sectional reduction method is used to perform sectional reductions with the temperature held within two ranges, i.e., 450-600° C. and 700-1000° C., wherein the reduction is performed within a range of 450-600° C. for 1-5 minutes and within a range of 700-1000° C. for 1-3 minutes to remove the iron oxide skin produced in the previous procedure, the concentration of the reducing gas being not lower than 5%; and hot galvanization: after having been cooled in a protective atmosphere, the strip billet is brought into a zinc bath and hot-plated with zinc and other alloy, and then cooled and coiled. The present invention realizes a highly continuous production of a hot-plated product from molten steel with iron and steel, and hot plating with zinc or an alloy is directly performed without removing elementary iron produced by the reduction, so that the energy consumption in the middle stage can be saved and the recovery of metal reaches close to 100%.
