Title:
STEEL STRIP CONTINUOUS ANNEALING FURNACE, STEEL STRIP CONTINUOUS ANNEALING METHOD, CONTINUOUS HOT-DIP GALVANIZATION EQUIPMENT, AND PRODUCTION METHOD FOR HOT-DIP GALVANIZED STEEL STRIP
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/175757
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided are a continuous annealing furnace and a steel strip continuous annealing method using this annealing furnace, with which the dew point of the atmosphere in the furnace can be rapidly reduced to a level suitable for steady operation, and with which a low-dew-point atmosphere in which problems such as the occurrence of pick-up defects and furnace wall damage are suppressed can be stably achieved. The steel strip continuous annealing furnace is characterized by being a vertical annealing furnace configured such that a portion of gas inside the furnace is sucked and introduced into a refiner which is provided outside the furnance and which has a deoxygenation device and a dehumidification device, moisture and oxygen in the gas are removed to reduce the dew point, and the gas having the dew point thereof reduced is returned to the inside of the furnace. The continuous annealing furnace is further characterized in that gas suction ports from the inside of the furnace to the refiner are provided to at least one place in the vicinity of a furnace entrance side, said vicinity spanning, from a steel strip introduction section of a heating zone lower part, a distance of 6m or less in the vertical direction and a distance of 3m or less in the furnace length direction.
