Continuous Annealing Line (CAL)
Category: Solution
Annealing steel strip is to homogenize the chemical composition and structure of the steel, refine the grain size, adjust the hardness, eliminate internal stress and work hardening, and improve the forming processability of the steel. Continuous annealing is a process in which the steel strip is heated to an appropriate temperature under a protective atmosphere and held for a certain period of time, followed by cooling and overaging treatment. In order to improve the surface quality of the strip, an online leveling machine is generally designed.

Steel strip annealing is to homogenize the chemical composition and microstructure of the steel, refine the grain size, adjust the hardness, eliminate internal stress and work hardening, and improve the formability of the steel.
Continuous annealing is a process in which the steel strip is heated to an appropriate temperature under a protective atmosphere, held for a certain time, and then cooled and over-aged. In order to improve the surface quality of the strip, an online leveling machine is generally designed.

Main process flow of the unit:

Uncoiling → Welding → Degreasing (alkaline washing + alkaline brushing + electrolysis + water washing + water cleaning) → Annealing reduction (heating → homogenization → rapid cooling → overaging → secondary cooling → water quenching → drying) → Leveling → Straightening → Edging → Inspection → Oiling → Slitting → Coiling
