Abstract
Systems and methods of pre-ageing of a metal strip during metal processing include passing the metal strip adjacent a magnetic rotor of a reheater. The systems and methods also include heating the metal strip through the magnetic rotor by rotating the magnetic rotor. Rotating the magnetic rotor induces a magnetic field into the metal strip such that the metal strip is heated.
Claims13
A method of pre-ageing a metal strip comprising:
- receiving a metal strip at a reheater, wherein the reheater comprises a magnetic rotor;
- passing the metal strip adjacent the magnetic rotor of the reheater;
- and
- rotating the magnetic rotor to induce a magnetic field into the metal strip to heat the metal strip at a pre-ageing temperature.
