Synopsis :
The multipurpose continuous annealing line developed by Kawasaki Steel Corporation (KM-CAL) has rapid cooling and overaging sections to additionally manufacture soft-temper tin mill blackplates which have so far been produced by the batch annealing process. Further, improvements such as in-furnace bridle rolls are incorporated in this continuous annealing line to permit rapid cooling without the deterioration of flatness even in extra-thin steel sheets. The conditions for the production of soft-temper tin mill blackplates by KM-CAL are: (1)use of low-carbon Al-killed CC slabs of 0.02 to 0.07%C and not more than 0.003%N, (2)hot mill coiling temperature of 620Ž, (3)continuous annealing conditions: recrystallization temperature of 700Ž, rapid cooling rate of 40 to 70Ž/s and overaging at 400 to 450Ž for 60 sec, and (4)temper rolling with at low reduction of 0.8%. Commercial production was successfully carried out.
