Abstract

A wrinkle generation determination method for a press formed part includes acquiring, for each load ratio in in-plane biaxial directions, a relationship between an in-plane biaxial strain generated in a process of inducing out-of-plane buckling in a measurement part and a load, acquiring an in-plane biaxial strain at a point where a primary differential coefficient of an in-plane uniaxial strain on which a compressive load acts becomes local maximum as a stable behavior limit strain, and acquiring a stable behavior limit line that will be an index for wrinkle generation under a biaxial stress condition by plotting, on two-dimensional coordinates, the stable behavior limit strain acquired for each load ratio in a biaxial stress test in which a load in the in-plane biaxial directions is applied to a cruciform test piece for biaxial test so as to induce out-of-plane buckling in the measurement part.

According to the method for controlling a scale generation amount of a metal material in a heating furnace, the metal material is burner-heated using, as a fuel, a hydrogen-based gas containing in full either one or both of hydrogen and ammonia, the flow rate of the hydrogen-based gas used as the burner heating fuel is set as a heating furnace operating parameter, and the scale generation amount generated on the surface of the metal material is controlled on the basis of the flow rate of the hydrogen-based gas thus set. At least one item selected from a heating time and a heating temperature of the metal material in the heating furnace is also preferably set as a heating furnace operating parameter.

Abstract

Provided is a gas injection device capable of suppressing the occurrence of chipping even in a case where a non-metal material such as a ceramic is used as the material of a gas wiping nozzle. The gas injection device blows a wiping gas onto a metal strip. The gas injection device has a gas wiping nozzle which is formed of a material having heat resistance to molten metal and which has a gas injection port through which the wiping gas is injected. An edge surface of the gas injection port in which the injection port is formed is a curved surface or is formed such that there is an obtuse angle between the edge surface and a surface adjacent to the edge surface. According to the gas injection device of the present invention, the gas-injection port edge surface in which the injection port is formed is a curved surface or is formed such that there is an obtuse angle between the edge surface and the surface adjacent to the edge surface, and therefore the load received from a cleaning tool or the like can be dispersed, thus enabling chipping of the wiping nozzle to be suppressed.
