Giới thiệu
Annealing is a cornerstone of metal processing, critically shaping the performance and versatility of cold rolled annealed steel strips. Công ty TNHH Công nghệ Vật liệu Quảng Châu Jiaxiao, Ltd. (Jiaxiao MTC) leverages advancedbright annealing Vàspheroidizing annealing techniques, paired with precision equipment and stringent quality control, to deliver steel strips with superior ductility, độ phẳng, and surface finish. This article delves into theadvantages of annealing processes and theirdiverse industrial applications.
Key Advantages of Annealing in Steel Strip Production
1. Enhanced Material Properties
Annealing restructures metal grain by heating steel strips above critical temperatures and slowly cooling them, optimizing ductility and toughness. Key techniques include:
- Bright Annealing: Conducted in sealed furnaces to prevent oxidation and decarburization, achieving mirror-like surfaces ideal for precision components.
- Spheroidizing Annealing: Cyclic heating/cooling converts carbides into spherical forms, reducing hardness (max. 180HV) and boosting cold-forming capability for complex shapes like springs.
2. Precision Dimensional Control
Post-annealing, steel strips meet tight tolerances:
- Độ dày: 0.1mm–5.00mm
- Chiều rộng: 2mm–1200mm
Combined with leveling processes, internal stresses are eliminated, ensuring ≤0.1% cross camber (P4 class) and ≤0.3mm/3m straightness (R4 class) for high-precision machining.
3. Versatile Surface Finishing
Annealed strips undergo mechanical polishing, xử lý cạnh (rounded or square edges), and other finishes to suit coating, painting, or direct assembly needs.
Industrial Applications of Cold Rolled Annealed Steel Strips
1. Automotive & Machinery
- Springs & Clutch Discs: Spheroidized strips (VÍ DỤ., C67, C75s) achieve 30–55HRC hardness after quenching, offering fatigue resistance for clutch springs and seat belt components.
- Precision Washers & Clips: Bright-annealed strips with oxidation-free surfaces enable high-accuracy stamping for engine and transmission parts.
2. Sự thi công & Tooling
- Saw Blades & Scrapers: Annealed 50CrV4 alloy strips (180–500HV) are laser-cut into blades, later hardened for wear resistance.
- Trowels & Putty Knives: Ultra-flat strips (R3 class) ensure uniform edges, minimizing stress-induced fractures during use.
3. Footwear & Consumer Hardware
- Shoe Shanks & Toe Caps: Annealed C45S strips withstand repeated bending, with polished surfaces meeting safety standards.
- Furniture Hardware: Custom slitting produces durable hinges and handles, balancing strength and aesthetics.
Jiaxiao MTC’s Competitive Edge
- Advanced Technology: Sealed annealing furnaces and 4-high reversing mills enable ultra-thin strips (0.08mm) with ±0.015mm thickness tolerance (<0.25mm).
