Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of automotive sheet production, and particularly relates to a production method for high-grade surface galvanized automotive outer panels. Background Art
[0002] Automotive outer panels have high requirements for coating performance, and the surface quality of galvanized sheets directly affects subsequent coating. The most difficult problems to solve in the production process of automotive outer panels are Figure 1 、 Figure 2 the zinc slag and small black dot defects (micro-zinc slag) shown in the figure. In the current production methods of outer panels, only raising the pot temperature is proposed, which can reduce the generation of zinc slag and small black dots, but the method is vague and has poor operability, resulting in unstable production of outer panels; on the other hand, some manufacturers can only control slag during the roll change and maintenance process of the immersion rolls. When the Fe content in the zinc liquid is not saturated, outer panels are produced in the first 1 - 3 days of the initial cycle of the rolls and cannot be produced at other times, otherwise the outer panels will be downgraded due to insufficient slag control, resulting in a low output of outer panels on the entire production line. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a production method for high-grade surface galvanized automotive outer panels, which can control the surface defects of the strip steel and meet the requirements of automotive users for high surface quality of the outer panels.
[0004] To achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: A production method for high-grade surface galvanized automotive outer panels, comprising the following steps: (1) Before the production of the outer panel, the zinc liquid temperature is 455 - 465°C, and the zinc liquid temperature of the transition coil is set 5 - 10°C below the zinc liquid temperature; when the zinc liquid temperature drops by 5 - 10°C (the zinc liquid temperature is not lower than the transition coil temperature), the zinc liquid temperature of the transition coil is set to be the same as the current zinc liquid temperature, and then the transition coil is used for slag skimming and slag fishing; (2) During the production of the outer panel, the zinc liquid temperature of the outer panel is adjusted to be 5 - 10°C higher than the zinc liquid temperature before the slag skimming of the transition coil in step (1); when the zinc liquid temperature is 5 - 10°C higher than the zinc liquid temperature before the slag skimming of the transition coil in step (1) (the zinc liquid temperature is not higher than the outer panel temperature), the zinc liquid temperature of the outer panel is adjusted to be the same as the current zinc liquid temperature.
[0005] Further, in step (1) of the present invention, 1 transition coil is used for slag skimming and slag fishing.
[0006] Further, the method of the present invention determines the end time of the current round of outer panel production according to the strip steel speed v, specifically as follows: When 95 m / min ≤ strip steel speed v ≤ 105 m / min, except for the current coil, produce 1 more coil of outer panel, and then end the production of the current round of outer panel; When 105 m / min < strip speed v < 115 m / min, after the current coil production is completed by 50% or more, produce 1 or 2 coils of outer panel and then end the current round of outer panel production; When 115 m / min ≤ strip speed v ≤ 125 m / min, produce 2 coils of outer panel in addition to the current coil and then end the current round of outer panel production.
[0007] Furthermore, in the zinc bath of the present invention, the Al content is 0.2 - 0.27%, the Fe content is 0.08 - 0.12%, and the strip thickness is 0.7 - 0.85 mm.
[0008] The invention principle and beneficial technical effects of the technical solution of the present invention are as follows: The present invention utilizes the different saturated solubilities of Fe in the zinc bath at different temperatures. For example, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the phases of the same component in the zinc bath at 450 °C and 460 °C are different; at 450 °C, 0.01% Fe and 0.2% Al are in a two-phase region where liquid phase and Fe2AL5 (suspended slag) coexist, while at 460 °C, the above components are in a single liquid phase region.
[0009] Within a certain temperature range, the higher the zinc bath temperature, the greater the saturated solubility of Fe, but the Fe loss of the strip in the zinc bath also increases with the increase in temperature. Especially when it reaches around 470 - 480 °C, the Fe loss shows an exponential increase, as Figure 5 shown. Therefore, the zinc bath temperature should be controlled within a reasonable range.
[0010] The present invention adjusts the zinc bath temperature before and after the outer panel production through the strip's own temperature to control the generation and precipitation of zinc slag, thereby obtaining high-grade surface galvanized automotive outer panels. First, cool down the original zinc bath temperature by adjusting the temperature of the transitional coil entering the zinc bath, reducing the saturated solubility of Fe in the zinc bath and generating zinc slag. Then, remove the zinc slag in the zinc bath through slag skimming and the transitional coil. Compared with heating and production at a lower zinc bath temperature, reducing the zinc bath temperature can quickly generate a large amount of zinc slag and form slag, enabling the originally small and difficult-to-remove suspended slag to aggregate into large zinc slag, greatly reducing the number of tiny suspended slag in the zinc bath, thereby achieving the purpose of quickly reducing the Fe content in the zinc bath. Subsequently, heat the zinc bath by increasing the strip temperature entering the zinc bath, increasing the saturated solubility of Fe in the zinc bath, creating a Fe unsaturated window period, and effectively reducing the generation of zinc slag. Finally, according to the strip production speed, estimate the Fe increase rate and the time when the zinc bath reaches saturation after heating, so as to give an accurate outer panel production timing, making the outer panel production method precise and operable.
[0011] The method of the present invention is practical and effective, which can realize the production of outer plates in the whole cycle of sink rolls, improve the outer plate production capacity of the production line, and at the same time meet the requirements of automobile users for the high surface quality of outer plates.
