Abstract (en)

Heat treatment method for steel strip comprises continuous annealing followed by cooling in three stages. In the first stage the strip is cooled to a temperature 50[deg]C above the Curie temperature. In the second stage it is cooled to 80[deg]C below the Curie temperature and in the final stage with a cooling gradient up to 85[deg]C/s. Heat treatment method is used for steel strip with an Si and Al content (wt%) given by the relationship: 0.9=Si + 2 x Al =1.8, an Mn content up to 2.5 wt%, up to 1 wt% of each of P, Cr and Ni and up to 0.1 wt% of each of C, N and S. The method comprises continuous annealing followed by cooling in three stages. In the first stage the strip is cooled to a temperature 50[deg]C above the Curie temperature with a cooling gradient of -38[deg] to -1[deg]C/s. In the second stage it is cooled to 80[deg]C below the Curie temperature. The cooling gradient has an upper limit (CR 2 M A X) given by: CR 2 M A X = pi (cos(2(T B A N D - T C)pi /2 6>((T B A N D - T C)(pi /2 6>) 2> + 1)) - 1) - pi . Its lower limit (CR 2 M I N) is given by: (CR 2 M I N) = 3pi (cos(2(T B A N D - T C)pi /2 6>((T B A N D - T C)(pi /2 6>) 2> + 1)) - 1) - pi . In the final stage the cooling gradient is up to 85[deg]C/s.
