Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The utility model relates to a device for improving strip defects on the lower surface of aluminum alloy strip. BACKGROUND

[0004] When the applicant produces aluminum alloy with Mg content greater than or equal to 4% (high Mg aluminum alloy), it is found that strip-shaped continuous or intermittent color difference defects often occur in the middle region of the aluminum strip width during finished product acceptance, which seriously affects the use of customers and has a great impact on the yield of the product. Since the product is rolled from 3.5mm to 0.2mm thickness, it needs to go through multiple rolling, cleaning, annealing and other processes, and the poor product quality causes huge losses to the company.

[0005] After repeated observation, it is found that the strip-shaped continuous or intermittent color difference defects of the aluminum alloy strip are mainly concentrated on the lower surface of the aluminum alloy strip. The reason is that during cold rolling, the rolling oil sprayed by the rolling mill tends to accumulate on the upper surface of the aluminum alloy strip. Because the upper surface of the aluminum alloy strip has too much oil, on the one hand, it can timely remove the aluminum powder, avoiding the adhesion of aluminum powder on the roller, and on the other hand, it can form an oil film between the roller and the strip, achieving isolation between the strip and the roller.

[0006] The lower surface of the aluminum alloy strip, which has an oil injection mechanism at the front end of the tensioning roller inlet, has residual rolling oil squeezed out after passing through the tensioning roller. The oil film between the strip and the roller is thin during rolling. Because the high Mg alloy itself has high strength, the oil film is easily broken and it is difficult to form an isolation layer between the roller and the strip. On the other hand, high Mg alloy is prone to produce aluminum powder during rolling. Under the current equipment structure, the aluminum powder is difficult to be removed, leaving marks on the lower surface of the aluminum alloy strip, i.e. continuous or intermittent strip-shaped color difference.

[0007] Although subsequent cleaning of the surface of the aluminum alloy strip can reduce the area of the strip-shaped continuous or intermittent color difference defects to some extent, the addition of the cleaning process not only increases the cost and production time, but also cannot fundamentally solve the problem.

[0008] Currently, the Chinese patent "A method for solving the strip-shaped defects on the surface of cold-rolled coil" (publication number CN119216382A) is retrieved. The method includes the following steps: redesigning the composition and hardness of the product, adjusting the hot rolling out-of-furnace temperature, increasing the cooling water volume and reducing the coiling temperature during laminar cooling after hot rolling, etc. The invention provides a method for solving the strip-shaped defects on the surface of cold-rolled coil, which improves the hardness of low-carbon steel material and improves the density of material organization, so that the iron oxide scale cannot be pressed into the surface of the hot-rolled coil, the slab heating out-of-furnace temperature is reduced, and the hot-rolled coil coiling temperature is reduced, thereby solving the pressing of the iron oxide scale on the hot-rolled coil, so that the hot-rolled coil will not produce strip-shaped defects during further cold rolling. However, it cannot improve the strip-shaped defects on the lower surface of the aluminum alloy strip. SUMMARY
