  • Strip elongation control in continuous annealing furnaces
    Patent number: 5230857
    Abstract: Strip elongation in a continuous annealing furnace is controlled by passing the strip around a first driven roll, thence through a portion of the furnace, thence around a second driven roll, wherein the elongation of the strip is sensed. One method is to sense the amount by which the peripheral speed of the second roll exceeds the peripheral speed of the first roll. Roll speeds are monitored by precision resolvers. Another method is to utilize a strip width measurement to determine elongation. Mechanisms are used for profiling tension throughout the furnace length.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: July 27, 1993
