(54) Title
Magnetic levitation heating of metal with controlled surface quality
(57) Abstract

A non-contact heating apparatus uses a series of rotating magnets to heat, levitate, and/or move metal articles therethrough. A first series of rotating magnets heats the metal article to a desired temperature. A second series of rotating magnets levitates the metal article within the heating apparatus and maintains desired tension in the metal article, including urging the metal article through the heating apparatus. The heating apparatus can extend sufficiently far to soak the metal article at the desired temperature for a desired duration. The rotating magnets can be positioned outside of an electrically non-conductive, heat resistant chamber filled with an inert or mildly reactive gas, through which the metal article passes in the heating apparatus.

Description

The present disclosure relates to metallurgy generally and more specifically to heating and processing metal articles, such as aluminum metal strips or slabs.

In metal processing, it can be desirable to control the temperature of a metal article before, during, or after various processing steps. For example, it can be desirable to heat a metal slab prior to performing certain processes (e.g., rolling), or it can be desirable to maintain heat in a metal strip for a duration of time without allowing the metal strip to cool past a minimum temperature. Temperature control can generally involve adding or removing heat energy to or from a metal strip.

Various techniques for adding heat energy to a metal article exist. Certain heating techniques, especially direct-contact techniques, can induce undesirable effects on the metal article, such as surface-marring, build-up of waste (e.g., carbon from a direct-impingement flame) on the surface, or other such undesirable results. Some techniques attempt to heat up the metal article without contact, but are unable to efficiently transfer heat energy to the metal strip. Some other problems associated with current techniques include requiring high installation and/or maintenance costs, occupying significant production space, limiting the mobility of the metal article being processed, and inducing undesirable effects on the metal article.

Additionally, it can be important to maintain desirable surface characteristics during and after a heating process.
