SUMMARY:EcoTransFlux®: A disruptive technology for heating Gen3 AHSS
DESCRIPTION:Steel manufacturers are continuously developing higher performance steel grades by optimizing the chemistry at the steelwork and by changing the process parameters, in particular the heat cycles to be applied in the annealing furnaces. In hot dip galvanizing lines, the production of the latest Gen3 AHSS require higher annealing temperatures which are difficult to be achieved by using gas fired radiant tubes. The Galvannealing induction heating of the AHSS grades is also becoming an issue, due to the retained high fraction of austenite which results in poor magnetic properties for a heating by a conventional inductor. To fulfil the requirements of these new steel metallurgies, the transverse flux induction is the unique industrial solution.

Fives has been developing the EcoTransFlux™ technology since more than 20 years, first for rapid heating of stainless steel in strip processing lines. Today, this advanced technology is becoming a key equipment for processing the latest Gen3 AHSS and also for developing high-grade electrical steel products for EV market.

This paper presents the main features and performances of Celes transverse flux induction technology as well as different industrial applications and references.
