Study on strip buckling in continuous annealing lines/hot galvanizing

In continuous annealing lines/hot galvanizing,strips are guided by upper and lower rolls in an alternate up and down vertical motion.This kind of process consisting of heating,soaking,and cooling furnaces(or zones) has several advantages in terms of productivity and product quality.Main problems encountered in continuous annealing lines are misguiding and formation of buckling.The strip buckling causes the strip to be rejected and,in the worst case,the strip breaks and the continuous annealing lines are compelled to stop.In this paper the elastic-plastic model of the strip traveling and the corresponding boundary condition were constructed dependant on the theory of mechanic.Simulations are performed in two steps.First,a homogeneous longitudinal tensile stress is applied at one end of the strip,the other end of the strip and the roll are restricted.In the second step,the applied tension remains constant.A uniform displacement is applied to the other end of the strip and a rotation to the roll. The transverse compressive stress,the buckling formation during strip traveling process,the location for the buckling taking place and the buckling criterion were investigated systematically.The result shows that the transverse compressive stress increases with the increase of the tensile stress and the crown of the tapered roll. Because the contact area between the tapered roll and the strip increase with the decrease of the crown,the tensile stress distribution is more homogeneous in the transverse direction of the strip.An additional transverse compressive stress is created and a buckling is also observed due to the friction during the strip motion in the second step.Once the buckling is appearance,it is very hard to be removed only through decreasing the applied longitudinal tension,because the strip wrinkle still keeps high level due to the effect of the buckled strip,the wrinkle would evolve into buckling eventually.The buckling formation process predicted by the finite element model is very similar to those observed in industrial processing lines.It takes place on the cylindrical part of the tapped roll and the buckling is moving to the middle part of the tapped roll with the increase of the crown,its width is about 2-4 mm.The criterion for the buckle occurrence is also discussed,in the prescribed situation,the transverse shell curvature increases with the strip displacement,if the transverse shell curvature reaches 0.1 mm^(-1), the buckling would take place.

Detection and analysis of gas tightness of continuous annealing furnaces

When a cold rolled strip is being treated in a continuous annealing furnace which is full of protective gas, the gas tightness of the furnace body, the connected facilities and the gas channels become an important indicator that directly affects the product＇s surface quality and shows the technical level of the design, the manufacture and the installation. By considering the problems of the gas tightness of a vertical annealing furnace in the installation and maintenance, this thesis evaluates the gas tightness indicator and gas tightness related level of the furnace body and the circulation duct, while studying and analyzing the technologies of negative-pressure leak detection and sealing.

Effect of continuous annealing temperature on the microstructure and mechanical property of an aluminum killed steel

The continuous annealing process of a typical aluminum killed steel was investigated. A cold rolled sheet was annealed continuously at holding temperature ranging from 580 to 760 ℃. The microstructures were analyzed in detail based on contiuous cooling transformation（ CCT） curves that were simulated with JM artP ro softw are. The results show ed that recrystallization and perlitic transformations caused a diversity of microstructures and mechanical properties. In comparison with annealed steel that was produced from insufficient recrystallization,annealed steel produced from sufficient recrystallization had more isometric grains and exhibited low er strength and higher ductility. Higher annealing temperatures than A_1 provided steel with lamellar pearlite zones,large ferrite grains,low strength,and high ductility. The results are attributed to the property optimization of the steel.

Characteristic Analysis and Comprehensive Control for the Horizontal Stripes of High-Grade Automotive Panels in Continuous Annealing

As to the horizontal stripes defect which exist on the surface of the high-grade automotive panels in continuous annealing process, an effective comprehensive control method is proposed on the basis of full consideration of the equipment and technological features of continuous annealing line. With five field tests as basis, the generation mechanism of the defect was analysised in detail and the comprehensive control measures were put forward. According to actual situation, a detailed technical plan was worked out .Then the relevant technologies were applied to a 1850 continuous annealing line. The statistics shows that this program acquired good effects. The incidence of horizontal stripes defect decreased from 100% to 2.78%. Meanwhile, the surface quality of strip also improved effectively, which created a larger economic benefit.

Deviation Prevention Ability of Rollers in Continuous Annealing Furnace and Application

In order to reduce the strip deviation in the practical production procedure in the continuous annealing fur- nace, a dynamic simulation model was built through finite element method （FEM） to conduct the quantification cal- culation of the effect of regular roller contour types on strip deviation. The result reveals that comparing to the flat roller, forward roller contour can prevent the strip deviation to some degree. In terms of prevention ability, double- taper roller is the strongest, single-taper roller and crown roller are less stronger; and more roller contour values raise the prevention ability. Accordingly, optimization method was applied to continuous annealing furnace, and it largely reduced accidents such as strip break and limited speed that are caused by the deviation.

Modeling of Strip Heating Process in Vertical Continuous Annealing Furnace

The mechanism for heat transfer of radiation is usually adopted to heat strip in vertical continuous annealing furnace. The rate of heat transfer among strip and other objects can be hugely affected by the parameters of strip speed, geometry factors and radiating characteristic of surfaces of strip, radiating tubes and walls of furnace. A model including all parameters is proposed for calculating the heat transfer coefficient, predicting the strip tempera- ture and boundary temperature of strip through analyzing these parameters. The boundary temperature is a important datum and different from average arithmetic value of temperature of strip and temperature in furnace. Also, the model can be used to analyze the relation for temperature of strip and heat transfer coefficient, total heat transfer quantity and heating time. The model is built by using the radiating heat transfer rate, the Newtonrs law of cooling, and lumped system analysis. The results of calculation are compared to the data from production line. The comparisons indicate that the model can well predict the heating process. The model is already applied for process control in pro- duction line. Also, this research will provide a new method for analyzing the radiation heat transfer.

The continuous heating transformation program is developed to investigate the influence of continuous annealing technological parameters on recrystalization for cold-rolled strip in galvanizing line.This program can be used for the calculation of the continuous annealing temperature field of strip steel,determination of the start and end time of recrystallization in continuous heating process,and procurement of the continuous heating transformation diagram.The temperature field for continuous annealing is simulated by means of finite difference method.Based on the Scheil superposition principle,the continuous heating transformation curve is obtained by using time temperature transformation(TTT)curve which is measured experimentally.The developed program has been used in practice,and the strip speed on production line increases bv more than 10%.

Effect of Continuous Annealing on Microstructure and Bake Hardening Behavior of Low Carbon Steel

The influences of the heating rate, annealing temperature and soaking time during continuous annealing on the microstructure evolution and bake hardening behavior of the low carbon steel were investigated. After 2% pres- training, bake treatment （180 ℃ × 20 min） was carried out to measure BH （bake hardening） values. The results showed that, with the increase of the annealing temperature, the grain size increased except for annealing in the in- tercritical region. Furthermore, the BH value increased and the mean grain size reduced with increasing the heating rate from 5 to 80 ℃/s. The BH value was very low before complete recrystallization. After a significant decrease from 630 to 720 ℃ , the BH value enhanced when the steel was annealed at 750 ℃. With the increase of the soaking time from 20 to 100 s, the BH value reduced linearly due to the segregation of solute C atoms.

Continuously Doping Bi_(2)Sr_(2)CaCu_(2)O_(8+δ)into Electron-Doped Superconductor by CaH_(2)Annealing Method

As a typical hole-doped cuprate superconductor,Bi_(2)Sr_(2)CaCu_(2)O_(8+δ)(Bi2212)carrier doping is mostly determined by its oxygen content.Traditional doping methods can regulate its doping level within the range of hole doping.Here we report the first application of CaH_(2)annealing method in regulating the doping level of Bi2212.By continuously controlling the anneal time,a series of differently doped samples can be obtained.The combined experimental results of x-ray diffraction,scanning transmission electron microscopy,resistance and Hall measurements demonstrate that the CaH_(2)induced topochemical reaction can effectively change the oxygen content of Bi2212 within a very wide range,even switching from hole doping to electron doping.We also found evidence of a low-T_c superconducting phase in the electron doping side.

Thermal stability of Zr_(55)Al_(10)Ni_5Cu_(30)bulk amorphous alloy during continuous heating and isothermal annealing

The crystallization behavior of Zr 55 Al 10 Ni 5Cu 30 (mole fraction, %) bulk amorphous alloy during continuous heating and isothermal annealing was investigated. The results show that there exists a first order exponential decay relation between the characteristic temperatures and the heating rates during continuous heating process. The activation energy for glass transition E g and that for crystallization E p and E x during continuous heating were evaluated by Kissinger plots. In addition, there is a second order exponential decay relation between the annealing temperature and the corresponding crystallization time during isothermal annealing. The isothermal activation energy obtained by Arrhenius equation increases as crystallization proceeds, indicating the sufficient stability of the residual amorphous structure after initial crystallization.

Effect of annealing parameters on mechanical properties of cold-rolled martensitic steel sheets

Cold-rolled martensitic steel sheets produced on continuous annealing lines with water quenching facility,have advantages of high strength and low alloying element contents.These are in good accordance with the trend of light-weighting and fuel saving for automotive steel.In this article,a cold-rolled martensitic steel is studied to investigate the effect of annealing parameters on its mechanical properties.It is found that the quenching temperature and the slow cooling speed as well as the overageing temperature have significant influence on the strength of the experimental steel.The temperature zone at which the austenite decomposition is slow or has not started may be chosen as the quenching temperature to ensure the steel’s strength stability.The slow cooling speed also influences the steel’s strength greatly.A high cooling rate will lead to significantly higher strength.Tempering would decrease the steel’s tensile strength but would increase its yield strength.

Static recrystallization behavior of hot-deformed magnesium alloy AZ31 during isothermal annealing

The static recrystallization of hot-deformed magnesium alloy AZ31 during isothermal annealing was studied at temperature of 503 K by optical and SEM/EBSD metallographic observation.The grain size change during isothermal annealing is categorized into three regions,i.e.an incubation period for grain growth,rapid grain coarsening,and normal grain growth.The number of fine grains per unit area,however,decreases remarkably even in incubation period.This leads to grain coarsening taking place continuously in the whole period of annealing.In contrast,the deformation texture scarcely changes even after full annealing at high temperatures.It is concluded that the annealing processes operating in hot-deformed magnesium alloy with continuous dynamic recrystallized grain structures can be mainly controlled by grain coarsening without texture change,that is,continuous static recrystallization.

Phase Characteristic Analysis of Continuous Depth Air-Gun Source Wavelet

Air guns are important sources for marine seismic exploration. Far-field wavelet of air gun arrays, as a necessary parameter for pre-stack processing and source models, plays an important role during marine seismic data processing and interpretation. When an air gun fires, it generates a series of air bubbles. Similar to onshore seismic exploration, the water forms a plastic fluid near the bubble; the farther the air gun is located from the measurement, the more steady and more accurately represented the wavelet will be. In practice, hydrophones should be placed more than 100 m from the air gun; however, traditional seismic cables cannot meet this requirement. On the other hand, vertical cables provide a viable solution to this problem. This study uses a vertical cable to receive wavelets from 38 air guns and data are collected offshore Southeast Qiong, where the water depth is over 1000 m. In this study, the wavelets measured using this technique coincide very well with the simulated wavelets and can therefore represent the real shape of the wavelets. This experiment fills a technology gap in China.

On the time-independent Hamiltonian in real-time and imaginary-time quantum annealing

We present the analog analogue of Grover's problem as an example of the time-independent Hamiltonian for applying the speed limit of the imaginary-time Schrödinger equation derived by Okuyama and Ohzeki and the new class of energy-time uncertainty relation proposed by Kieu. It is found that the computational time of the imaginary-time quantum annealing of this Grover search can be exponentially small, while the counterpart of the quantum evolution driven by the real-time Schrödinger equation could only provide square root speedup, compared with classic search. The present results are consistent with the cases of the time-dependent quantum evolution of the natural Grover problem in previous works. We once again emphasize that the logarithm and square root algorithmic performances are generic in imaginary-time quantum annealing and quantum evolution driven by real-time Schrödinger equation, respectively. Also, we provide evidences to search deep reasons why the imaginary-time quantum annealing can lead to exponential speedup and the real-time quantum annealing can make square root speedup.

A New One-Twelfth Step Continuous Block Method for the Solution of Modeled Problems of Ordinary Differential Equations

In this paper, we developed a new continuous block method by the method of interpolation and collocation to derive new scheme. We adopted the use of power series as a basis function for approximate solution. We evaluated at off grid points to get a continuous hybrid multistep method. The continuous hybrid multistep method is solved for the independent solution to yield a continuous block method which is evaluated at selected points to yield a discrete block method. The basic properties of the block method were investigated and found to be consistent, zero stable and convergent. The results were found to compete favorably with the existing methods in terms of accuracy and error bound. In particular, the scheme was found to have a large region of absolute stability. The new method was tested on real life problem namely: Dynamic model.
