Abstract

The application relates to a substantially equiatomic FeCo-alloy cold-rolled strip or sheet, and to a magnetic part cut from same, as well as to a method for fabricating a Fe—Co-alloy cold-rolled strip or sheet. A first cold-rolling step is carried out with a reduction rate of 70 to 90%, to bring the strip or sheet to a thickness of ≤1 mm. Intermediate annealing is carried out when running, leading to a partial recrystallization of the strip or sheet, running at a speed (V). A second step of cold-rolling the annealed strip or sheet is carried out, with a reduction rate of 60% to 80%, to bring the strip or sheet to a thickness of 0.05 to 0.25 mm. And final annealing (Rf) of the cold-rolled strip or sheet is carried out to achieve complete recrystallization followed by cooling at 100 to 500° C./hour.

Abstract

Method for creating an iridescent visual effect on the surface of a part, using a laser beam having a pulse duration of less than a nanosecond sent onto said surface in the optical field of the focusing system of a device comprising also a laser source and a scanner, to apply wavelets having the same orientation to said surface over the pulse width. The scanner scans the surface using laser radiation along a series of consecutive lines, or a matrix of points using relative movement of said surface and the device, the width of each line or the dimension of each point of each matrix being equal to the pulse diameter.

Abstract

A method for creating an iridescent effect on a surface through formation of wavelets on the source can include using a pulse of laser beams sent to the surface in juxtaposed optical fields of a focusing system. A scanner scans the surface using laser beams along a series of lines that follow each other in a relative direction of travel of the part and of the scanner and a series of lines that lie in continuation of each other in a direction perpendicular to the relative direction of travel. The optical fields overlap in an overlapping area having a width that is twice the diameter of the pulse laser beam up to 2 cm. Two lines lying in continuation of each other overlap at a junction and between the two series of lines follow each other in a relative direction of travel of the part and the scanner.

Abstract

A laser descaling device and process includes a first laser sending a ray to the product to be descaled, reflected rays being intercepted by sensors that send collected information into a processing unit that calculates the absorption of the ray by the surface of the product, deduces the emissivity of the oxidized surface in the direction of the reflected rays, and correlates this emissivity with reference information prerecorded inside the processing unit; a second laser sends a ray onto the surface of the product, the spots of the rays covering the entire surface to be descaled, the second laser being controlled by a control unit receiving information provided by the processing unit making it possible to determine the operating parameters to be imposed on the second laser to obtain the descaling of the surface of the product, compared with experimental results prerecorded in the control unit.

Abstract

The present application describes a method for stripping a moving metal product (3) having a layer of oxides, using laser stripping, which comprises the following steps: at least a first laser (6) sends a beam (7) which is reflected on the oxidised surface of the product (3) to be stripped, said reflected beams (9) being intercepted by sensors (8) which send the information collected to a processing unit (10); a processing unit (10) calculates the absorption of the beam (7) by the surface of the product (3), deduces therefrom the emissivity of the oxidised surface in the direction of said reflected beams (9) and correlates this emissivity with reference information pre-recorded in said processing unit (10); at least a second laser (13) sends a beam (14) to the product surface in order to strip it, the spots of said beams (14) covering all of the surface to be stripped via an optical and/or mechanical scanning process that laterally moves the spots of the beams (14) on the surface of the product (3), or via an optical system that converts the spots into lines, said second laser (13) being operated by a control unit (15) receiving information provided by the processing unit (10) in order to determine the operating parameters to be applied to said second laser (13) for stripping the surface of the product (3), by comparing with experimental results pre-recorded in the control unit (15); and means (16, 17) of inspection of the stripped surface of the product (3) check the effectiveness of the stripping. The present application also describes a plant for executing this method.

The invention relates to steel, characterized in that the composition thereof in wt% is: 10.0% ≤ Ni ≤ 24.5%, 1.0% ≤ Mo ≤ 12.0%, 1.0% ≤ Co ≤ 25.0%, 20.0% ≤ Mo + Co + Si + Mn + Cu + W + V + Nb + Zr + Ta + Cr + C ≤ 29.0, Ni + Co + Mo ≥ 29%, traces ≤ Al ≤ 4.0%, traces ≤ Ti ≤ 0.1%, traces ≤ N ≤ 0.0050%, traces ≤ Si ≤ 2.0%, traces ≤ Mn ≤ 4.0%, traces ≤ C ≤ 0.03%, traces ≤ S ≤ 0.0020%, traces ≤ P ≤ 0.005%, traces ≤ B ≤ 0.01%, traces ≤ H ≤ 0.0005%, traces ≤ O ≤ 0.0025%, traces ≤ Cr ≤ 5.0%, traces ≤ Cu ≤ 2.0%, traces ≤ W ≤ 4.0%, traces ≤ Zr ≤ 4.0%, traces ≤ Ca ≤ 0.1%, traces ≤ Mg ≤ 0.1%, traces ≤ Nb ≤ 4.0%, traces ≤ V ≤ 4.0%, and traces ≤ Ta ≤ 4.0%, the rest being iron and impurities resulting from production. Said steel is also characterized in that the inclusion population, observed by means of image analysis on a polished surface of 650 mm² if the steel is in the form of a hot-formed part or hot-laminated sheet and 800 mm² if the steel is in the form of a cold-laminated sheet, does not comprise any non-metal inclusions having an equivalent diameter of greater than 10 μm, and in the case of a hot-laminated sheet, does not comprise more than ten non-metal inclusions having an equivalent diameter of 5 to 10 μm per 100 mm². The observation is carried out by means of image analysis on a polished surface of 650 mm². The invention also relates to a product made of said steel, such as a sheet or strip, and to the manufacturing method thereof.
