Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of metal composite thin strip preparation, and in particular relates to a device and method for pulse current treatment of metal thin strips under bidirectional tension. Background Art

[0002] Metal strips are widely used in manufacturing, electronics and other industries due to their uniform thickness, superior surface quality, high hardness, good deep drawing performance and resilience. However, with the continuous development of precision, lightweight and mobility in manufacturing, electronics and other industries, higher requirements are placed on the thickness and dimensional accuracy of metal strips.

[0003] Since the strength and hardness of metal strips are improved by solid solution, aging and large deformation, residual stress is difficult to avoid in each production link; at the same time, the rolling extension of the metal strip in the roll gap during rolling is unevenly distributed along the transverse direction of the plate and strip. As a result of this uneven extension, the rolling residual stress of the strip after rolling is unevenly distributed along the transverse direction. When the residual compressive stress exceeds a certain limit, the metal strip will become unstable and buckle, resulting in reduced dimensional accuracy and plate defects such as stud lines and two-rib inclined waves, which seriously affect the appearance of the finished product and the quality of subsequent punching, etching or forming processes.

[0004] To solve the above problems, the current solution is to eliminate the residual stress in the metal strip through processes such as straightening and tension annealing, and at the same time regulate the organizational properties of the metal strip to improve the plate quality of the metal strip, eliminate plate defects, and improve the overall performance.

[0005] Existing metal strip straightening equipment mostly adopts a multi-roller arrangement, which produces tension deformation and plastic extension through the combined action of stretching and bending to achieve the straightening effect; at the same time, it is supplemented by online annealing equipment for tension annealing to remove residual stress or adjust the structure performance. However, since the tensile tension direction of the existing straightening equipment can only be applied along the rolling direction, the improvement effect on the plate shape, especially perpendicular to the rolling direction, is limited; and the precise control of the plate shape through stretching and bending deformation places high demands on the performance of the straightening equipment and the rationality of the process regulations.

An insulating lining 17 is provided between the ball guide pair 13 and the C-shaped chuck frame 14, and an insulating joint 11 is provided between the cylindrical dynamometer 12 and the moving end of the servo electric cylinder 8 to prevent the pulse current from overflowing.

[0051] like Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, the lateral tension applying device 5 includes a symmetrically arranged lateral tension applying unit, which includes a ball guide pair 13 and a C-shaped chuck frame 14. The lower surface of the ball guide pair 13 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support base 3. The bottom surface of the C-shaped chuck frame 14 cooperates with the upper surface of the ball guide pair 13 to limit the movement trajectory of the C-shaped chuck frame 14.

[0052] like Fig.11 and Fig.12 As shown, the real-time detection device 2 for the plate shape of a metal strip includes detection units symmetrically arranged at the top and the bottom, and the detection units include a gantry-type electric high-speed slide 22 and a laser ranging array 23. The movement trajectory of the gantry-type electric high-speed slide 22 is perpendicular to the movement direction of the metal strip 6. The laser ranging array 23 is fixed on the moving beam in the gantry-type electric high-speed slide 22 and points vertically to the metal strip 6 to realize the detection of the plate shape of the metal strip 6.

[0053] like Fig.13 As shown, the present invention provides a method for processing a metal strip, and the specific steps are as follows:

[0054] Step 1: unwind the metal strip 6 through the cooperation of the winder and the unwinder, and send it into the biaxial stretching area 7 of the biaxial tension and pulse current applying device 1;

[0055] Step 2: Use the hydraulic cylinder 15 in the rolling tension and pulse current applying device 4 and the transverse tension applying device 5 to push the upper pressing plate 16 to clamp the edge of the metal strip 6, and the clamped width does not exceed 1 / 10 of the width of the metal strip 6. Then use the servo electric cylinder 8 to pull the C-shaped clamping head frame 14 to apply rolling tension and transverse tension to the metal strip 6.

[0056] In addition, the allowable value Δ1 of the flatness of the plate shape is determined in advance by comprehensively considering the deflection ω and the target thickness t. Since the main function of the device is to straighten the plate shape, flatness is used as the only indicator to determine whether the straightening process is completed.

[0057] Step 3: applying a pulse current to the metal strip 6 by using the electrode 9 in the rolling tension and pulse current applying device 4, so as to regulate the structure and toughness of the metal strip 6 and remove the residual stress of the metal strip 6 by the pulse current;

[0058] Step 4: The laser ranging array 23 symmetrically arranged at the upper and lower parts of the real-time detection device 2 for the shape of the metal thin strip is used to cooperate with the gantry-type electric high-speed slide 22 to measure the thickness of the metal thin strip 6 in real time, so as to realize the real-time monitoring of the shape of the metal thin strip 6. At the same time, the C-shaped chuck frame 14 is pulled by the servo electric cylinder 8 to complete the real-time adjustment of the shape of the metal thin strip 6.

[0059] Step 5: The rolling tension and pulse current applying device 4 and the transverse tension applying device 5 release the clamping of the metal strip 6, and then the metal strip 6 is sent out of the biaxial stretching area 7 by the winding machine and the unwinding machine, and then the edge of the metal strip 6 is removed by the punching process to obtain a metal strip 6 with qualified performance.

[0060] The metal strip 6 has a width range of ≥20 mm and a thickness range of 0.01 mm - 0.5 mm.

[0061] The rolling direction tension and pulse current applying device 4 and the transverse tension applying device 5 of the bidirectional tension and pulse current applying device 1 can exchange positions as needed to realize the function of applying pulse current along the rolling direction or transverse direction of the metal strip.

[0062] In steps 2 and 3, the initial reference values ​​of the pulse current and tension process parameters during the pulse current assisted post-rolling treatment of the metal strip under bidirectional tension conditions are determined based on the simulation results.

[0063] like Fig.14 As shown in the figure, firstly, an accurate numerical simulation plastic constitutive model is established based on the uniaxial tensile tests along the rolling direction and the transverse direction assisted by pulse currents with different powers, peak currents and duty cycles. Then, the strain distribution of the metal strip 6 during the biaxial tensile stretching process is predicted by numerical simulation. By presetting plate defects such as "stitching" or "two-rib inclined wave shape" in the simulation model, the variation trend of the local deflection during the biaxial stretching process with the tension and pulse current parameters is predicted, thereby constructing a pulse current power P , Action time T , and bidirectional tension F x , F y Local deflection of plate shape ω x , ω y Through-thickness strain ε The mapping relationship between the deflection prediction model (Equation 1, 2) and the thickness strain prediction model (Equation 3) are obtained. The plate shape is scanned in real time by the laser ranging probes arranged symmetrically up and down to obtain the initial plate shape information. Then, according to the prediction model, the process parameters are determined, including the pulse current power P , Action time T With bidirectional tension F x , F y .

[0064]

[0065] In step 3, the microstructure and performance of the metal strip 6 can be efficiently regulated in a short time by pulse current treatment. Taking a 0.05 mm thick stainless steel strip as an example, under tension conditions, the microstructure and mechanical properties obtained by pulse current treatment with a power of 45 W, a peak current of 300 A, and a duty cycle of 30% for 5 minutes show obvious recrystallization compared with those after conventional annealing at the same temperature for 5 minutes. The plasticity of the stainless steel strip is significantly improved, and the deformation resistance is significantly reduced. Fig.15 , 16 As shown, it is beneficial to subsequent forming processing; considering that the pulse current treatment does not need to heat up with the furnace and the processing time is short, it has obvious advantages over conventional heat treatment in terms of post-rolling processing efficiency and energy consumption. At the same time, since the temperature rise only occurs at the metal strip 6, it has little impact on the mechanical structure and monitoring equipment, which is convenient for the implementation of anti-oxidation measures; combined with the bidirectional tension and pulse current application device 1, the purpose of removing residual stress and optimizing organizational properties can be achieved in a short time under the premise of ensuring the elimination of plate shape defects.

[0066] In step three, post-rolling treatment is performed by pulse current, and at the same time, different tensions are applied in both directions to change the stress state of the metal strip, thereby regulating the anisotropy of the structure and organizational properties of the metal strip.

[0067] In step 4, the shape of the metal strip 6 is scanned by the laser ranging array 23 to obtain the local deflection ω x , ω y With thickness t , calculate the flatness Δ , compared with the expected setting value of flatness Δ 1 Flatness Δ The size of the actual flatness Δ Less than the set value Δ1 When the tension and current output are stopped, the machine is cooled under constant tension.

The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit them.
