Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for continuously cleaning the surface of a material 2 coated with an organic substance. SOLUTION: The method includes: a step of introducing the material 2 into a processing area where a gas flow containing oxygen is supplied; a step of grounding the material 2; and a step of generating a plasma by applying an electric field between the surface of the material 2 and at least one electrode 3 covered with a dielectric. The electric field forms a pulse and includes a series of positive and negative voltage pulses with respect to the material 2. Further, the maximum voltage U + of the positive pulse is greater than the arc starting voltage U a . The absolute value of a maximum voltage U - of the negative pulse is smaller than the arc starting voltage U a . There are also provided the generator and the apparatus used for implementing the method. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve temperature uniformity in a width direction of a strip.SOLUTION: An electromagnetic induction heating device of a metal strip 4 moving in a specific direction has at least one electric coil 2 arranged opposite to at least one surface in a large surface of a strip, so that the metal strip 4 is heated by induction of a magnetic bundle in a lateral direction. Each coil is coupled with at least one magnetic circuit 6, and each circuit is split into a plurality of magnetic rods 8 independent from each other arranged in parallel to a moving direction of the strip. In the electromagnetic induction heating device of the metal strip, the magnetic circuit 6 is constituted by the plural magnetic rods 8 independent from each other, and the magnetic rods are moved by being separated from each other and approaching to each other in a manner that distribution of the magnetic bundle is continuously adapted to dimension unique to the strip, and therefore, the distribution is adapted to the width of the strip 4 to be heated.

A slab of the steel is cast and the slab is hot-rolled to obtain the steel plate. The final rolling temperature is higher than the point Ar3. The steel strip is wound at a temperature ranging between 500°C and 700°C. Then, the steel strip is further subjected to the cold rolling at a reduction rate ranging between 50% and 80%, the continuous annealing heat treatment for a time interval less than 15 minutes, and the cold rolling with a reduction rate ranging between 1.2% and 2.5%. A bake-hardened steel strip and components obtainable therefrom can be obtained.
