The powerful reduction effect is perfect, e.g. to bright anneal cold-rolled Cr/Cr-Ni strip. Despite the highest convection necessary for maximum throughput, hydrogen's low specific weight has a positive influence on the energy consumption of the workbase fan in bell annealers or jet fans for heating and cooling in continuous annealing lines. The modern HICON/H/ bell annealer is the best alternative to traditional HNX technology in terms of utility consumption and emissions. Hydrogen can also crack residual rolling lubricant on the surface of the material thereby cleaning it in a process often used when annealing strip and wire coils in the bell annealer. Degreasing the strip surfaces generally becomes unnecessary, even with the highest quality material. EBNER exploits the characteristics of hydrogen in its HICON/H_2~R bell annealer facility as well as in continuous heat treatment lines while taking into account the danger of fire or explosion. The newest developments and experiences in the use of 100 percent hydrogen in bell annealers and continuous heat treatment facilities are detailed in the following. 收起
