Abstract
Disclosed is a continuous processing line for processing a non-magnetic metal strip 1 and specifically to an induction heating apparatus 14 and method intended for heating the non-magnetic metal strip travelling through the continuous processing line, including a coating section 20, the apparatus being installed downstream from the coating section in the direction of travel of the strip, the apparatus making it possible to raise the temperature of the strip across the entire width thereof to the level required to obtain the sought development of the coating thereof, the heating apparatus including at least one cross-flow inductor 15.
Claims6
A continuous processing line for processing a nonmagnetic metal strip (1), the processing line comprising a coating section (20) and a galvannealing section placed downstream of the coating section (20) and comprising an induction heating apparatus (14) intended to heat said nonmagnetic metal strip, characterized in that the heating apparatus comprises at least one transverse flux inductor (15).
A method for induction heating of a nonmagnetic metal strip (1) in a galvannealing section of a continuous processing line for processing said nonmagnetic metal strip, said processing line comprising a coating section (20), the galvannealing section being placed downstream of the coating section, characterized in that the heating of the strip is carried out by means of a transverse flux inductor (15).
