  • Patent number: 10358691
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for continuous annealing of a strip, capable of manufacturing a high-strength and highly ductile cold-rolled steel sheet having both excellent strength and ductility, and to a method for continuous annealing of a strip. The continuous annealing apparatus, according to the present invention, is capable of continuous annealing by cooling after heating, and then reheating, unlike an existing continuous annealing apparatus which heats only once and then cools or provides an overaging treatment. As a result, the continuous annealing apparatus, according to the present invention, can preliminarily render a homogeneous texture or control the texture as desired, and then perform another reheating heat treatment to stabilize the texture or control the shape thereof to a desired state.
