Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of steel production, and in particular to a production method for improving the quality of surface coatings on medium and low grade non-oriented silicon steels. Background Art

[0002] Cold-rolled non-oriented silicon steel is an important energy-saving metal functional material with the largest consumption among soft magnetic materials. It is widely used in the iron cores of electric motors, generators, small transformers and other motors. It is an important soft magnetic alloy that is indispensable in the power, electronics and military industries. When manufacturing the iron core, silicon steel sheets need to be stacked together layer by layer. In order to limit the eddy current within each stack and effectively reduce the eddy current loss of the iron core, it is often necessary to apply an insulating coating on the surface of the silicon steel to generate high impedance.

[0003] But the surface insulation coating cannot be too thick, because too thick will affect the lamination factor of non-oriented silicon steel on the one hand, and reduce the magnetic properties of the steel sheet on the other hand. However, if the coating is too thin, the insulation of the coating will be reduced, and since the non-oriented silicon steel sheet needs to be stress-relieved annealed at 700-800℃ during application, the insulation performance will be lower after annealing.

[0004] At present, the types of non-oriented silicon steel insulation coatings are mainly divided into three categories: organic coatings, inorganic coatings and semi-organic coatings. Among them, the chromium-containing coating in the semi-organic coating of non-oriented silicon steel is the mainstream of the market, and more than 85% of the market is chromium-containing coatings. The surface coating requirements of non-oriented silicon steel are very high. The main points are as follows: good insulation, good heat resistance, thin and uniform insulation film, high interlayer resistance, good adhesion, good punching performance, good corrosion resistance, good weldability, non-toxicity, etc., which have high requirements for the coating unit.

[0005] The coating unit for domestic medium and low grade non-oriented silicon steel coating is generally a double-roller mode. The double-roller coating unit has the advantages of simple structure, easy operation and low production cost. However, due to the large pressure difference between the upper and lower rollers, a large number of bubbles are mixed in the coating liquid circulation process, and the groove depth of the groove roller is not selected reasonably, resulting in defects such as roller marks and white spots on the strip surface. The difference between the upper and lower resistance values ​​of the surface insulation resistance is too large (thick on the top and thin on the bottom), and the coating liquid production consumption is large. As a result, the finished product is largely reclassified as a second-class product due to surface coating quality problems.

[0006] In view of this, the present application aims to provide a production method for improving the quality of surface coating of medium and low grade non-oriented silicon steel, so as to better solve the above technical problems. Summary of the invention

[0007] The purpose of the embodiments of the present application is to provide a production method for improving the quality of surface coating of medium and low grade non-oriented silicon steel, which can solve the technical problems of no color difference on the surface of silicon steel strip, elimination of white spots on the coating and good adhesion.

[0008] The present application provides a production method for improving the quality of surface coating of medium and low grade non-oriented silicon steel, comprising the following steps:

[0009] Surface alkali washing, CA annealing line annealing treatment, surface cleaning, strip lower surface infiltration, strip upper surface coating liquid bubble removal, double roller coating, coating drying and sintering, finishing and packaging.

[0010] Furthermore, in the step of removing bubbles from the coating liquid on the strip surface:

[0011] The coating liquid is sprayed with a coating liquid base pipe, and the coating liquid manifold is not sprayed directly on the strip surface. A 10-100 mesh stainless steel filter is set under the manifold to reduce the flow rate of the coating liquid through the filter, so that the bubbles in the coating liquid have sufficient floating time and overflow, so that the coating liquid is evenly coated on the upper surface of the strip by the coating roller, avoiding the formation of white spots on the strip surface.

[0012] Furthermore, the coating liquid after double-roll coating is recovered through a collecting funnel, and a U-shaped pipeline is set at the outlet of the collecting funnel to raise the liquid level in the collecting funnel by 40-60 cm, so that the bubbles mixed in the coating liquid have enough floating time, thereby reducing the amount of bubbles in the recovered coating liquid.

[0013] Furthermore, the connection between the outlet of the coating liquid collecting funnel after double-roller coating and the circulation pipeline is set as a sealed connection to prevent the recovered coating liquid from being mixed with bubbles again.

[0014] Furthermore, in the double-roll coating step:

[0015] The coating is carried out using a coating unit, wherein the groove depth of the upper roller of the coating unit is set to 0.05-0.08 mm, and the groove depth of the lower roller is set to 0.1-0.12 mm, so as to increase the amount of liquid carried by the lower roller, thicken the lower surface coating, and thus increase the resistance.

[0016] Furthermore, in the double-roll coating step:

[0017] The coating thickness formed by coating is controlled to be 0.8-1.2 μm, the coating surface insulation resistance is ≥100Ω·mm 2, and the insulation resistance difference between the upper and lower surface coatings of the strip is less than 30%.

[0018] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0019] The production method for improving the surface coating quality of medium and low grade non-oriented silicon steel provided by the present invention comprises the steps of: surface alkali washing, CA annealing line annealing treatment, surface cleaning, strip lower surface infiltration, strip upper surface coating liquid bubble removal, double-roller coating, coating drying and sintering, and finishing packaging; the lower surface of the strip is infiltrated in advance, the groove depth of the lower roller of the coating unit is increased to increase the thickness of the lower surface coating and improve the resistance; the liquid level of the liquid collecting funnel is increased, a filter screen is added to the upper surface, and a circulation pipeline of the coating liquid is closed to discharge bubbles in the coating liquid and avoid bubbles in the coating liquid being pressed into the coating, thereby solving the problem of white spots on the coating; at the same time, the thickness of the lower surface is increased to improve the consistency of the thickness of the upper and lower surfaces, and the adhesion of the coating is improved, so that the surface coating quality of the produced product is good; after stress relief annealing at 750°C, the surface color of the strip is uniform without color difference, roller mark, and white spots, and the adhesion is good, which can better meet application requirements.
