A flame spraying burner melts or partially melts with combustion heat, a spray material comprising a powdered fire-resisting material to thermally spray a damaged portion of a furnace wall or the like. The flame spraying burner includes a burner nozzle body having a central passage for supplying oxygen-contained gas, the central passage having a projecting leading end, and a plurality of fuel gas supply passages formed around the central passage. Each of the plurality of fuel gas supply passages has a leading end recessed from the leading end of the central passage. A cylindrical burner tile is positioned around the leading end of the fuel gas supply passages and extends to at least the leading end of the central passage. A plurality of oxygen jetting ports are formed in the radial direction around the leading end of the nozzle cap.

An anti-oxidation agent for preventing oxidation of a stainless steel strip during continuous annealing comprising a colloidal inorganic substance which can be crystallized at a temperature not higher than 1300.degree. C. at least one compound having a melting point not higher than 1300.degree. C., selected from the group consisting of silicates, borates and phosphates, a dispersion agent, and the balance substantially water. The anti-oxidation agent is applied to the surface of the stainless steel strip. During the annealing, the anti-oxidation agent enhances the heat absorption so that the stainless steel strip temperature is elevated to the annealing temperature in a short time. The anti-oxidation agent on the strip surface forms a film of a fine structure which keeps the strip surface away from oxidizing components of the annealing atmosphere so as to suppress generation of oxide scale. The film is easily separated due to thermal contraction in the course of the cooling after the annealing.

A descaling method for removing oxide scale from a hot-rolled stainless steel strip. A solution of an alkaline earth metal chloride is applied to the surface of the oxide scale layer formed on the hot-rolled stainless steel strip, and the solution is allowed to penetrate into the oxide scale layer. In a subsequent annealing, the solution is heated and dehydrated to become solid matter and the dehydrated matter is melted and diffused into the oxide scale layer to soften the oxide scale layer. The oxide scale layer is then removed by a simple mechanical descaling by, for example, grinding brushes with or without a subsequent chemical descaling by a weak acid solution.

The present invention relates to method and apparatus for heating a strip of metallic material in a continuous annealing furnace and more particularly to an improvement relating to a method and apparatus for heating a strip of metallic material in a continuous annealing furnace in which annealing of the strip is continuously carried out in such a manner that a gas serving to adjust temperature of the strip, is blown toward the strip through a plurality of gas jet nozzles which are arranged on one side or both sides of the strip, wherein the temperature and flow rate of the strip are properly determined to a required level in response to the changing of the operating conditions such as the heat cycle, line speed, thickness of strip, width of strip and the like. Further, the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for heating a strip of metallic material in a continuous annealing furnace, wherein the temperature of the strip is controlled to reach a target temperature by heating or cooling the strip by means of a gas jet or the like having excellent respondency at a part of the heating zone in the continuous annealing furnace whereby irregular annealing of the strip is effectively inhibited.

In a method of continuously annealing and pickling steel strips successively transferred through a continuous annealing apparatus including heating and cooling zones and a pickling apparatus, annealing the steel strips is effected in reducing atmosphere and thereafter pickling is effected at least by nitric acid electrolytic treatment. In an apparatus for continuously annealing and pickling steel strips, including a continuous annealing furnace and a pickling apparatus, the continuous annealing furnace consists of vertical furnaces capable of advancing a steel strip in a manner substantially repeating upward and downward movements alternately in substantially vertical directions and the pickling apparatus comprises at least a nitric acid electrolytic cell. In another aspect, continuous annealing furnace consists of one pass furnace capable of advancing the steel strip only once and forming a high temperature heating zone and a high temperature cooling zone of the annealing furnace, and vertical furnaces respectively forming a lower temperature heating zone and a low temperature cooling zone and capable of advancing a steel strip in a manner substantially repeating upward and downward movements alternately in substantially vertical directions. The one pass furnace is horizontal or vertical.

A galvanizing furnace comprises a plurality of burners arrayed parallel to the surface of sheet iron to be galvanized and having burner nozzles directed upwards so that flame exiting the burner nozzles forms a screen-like wall of flame opposite and parallel to the sheet iron as the sheet iron passes through the alloying furnace. Preferably, the burners are separated into a plurality of blocks which can be controlled independently.

A method and an apparatus for continuously annealing cold rolled steel strips successively passing through a preheating zone, a low temperature heating zone, a high temperature heating soaking zone, a primary cooling zone and a secondary cooling zone. In each zone, the steel strip is driven by hearth rolls alternately upward and downward in a serpentine path. According to the invention, in a high temperature zone such as the high temperature heating zone and the primary cooling zone where the steel strip is prone to heat buckling, the steel strip is caused to pass only once in a single direction without passing along the serpentine path, thereby preventing meandering and heat buckling of the steel strip.

One-side zinc hot dipped steel sheets are produced by coating one surface of a steel sheet with an aqueous slurry of an anti-plating agent based on MgO, alkali metal silicates, boric acid, MOH (M is an alkali metal) and the like and containing such additives as TiO.sub.2 and Al.sub.2 O.sub.3, heating the coated sheet for drying and baking, immersing the steel sheet with an anti-plating film in a molten zinc bath to zinc plate the other surface of the sheet, wetting the anti-plating film, and bending the steel sheet to cause the anti-plating film to peel off, thereby removing the anti-plating film from the steel sheet. This invention carries out the coating and baking of the anti-plating agent such that it is baked to a film having a thickness of 20 to 60 microns at a temperature of 750.degree.
