Method for thermally treating a scrolling steel strip (), said method comprising the following steps: heating the strip () in a zone for heating with a direct flame (); temperature homogenisation of the strip () in a homogenisation chamber () comprising at least one radiant heating tube (), so as to homogenise the strip () in temperature after the passing thereof into the zone for heating with a direct flame () of the preceding step; oxidation of the strip () in an oxidation chamber () with an oxidising atmosphere having an oxygen volume concentration greater than 1%; reduction of the strip () in a reduction zone ().

High-resistance steel strip comprising a temperature homogenisation chamber

A device for determining the microstructure of a metal product during metallurgical production of the metal product, the device having at least one X-ray source, at least one X-ray detector and at least one accommodating chamber, inside which the X-ray source and/or the X-ray detector is/are arranged and which has at least one window which is transparent to X-ray radiation. To allow reliable determination of the microstructure of a metal product during the metallurgical production thereof, the device includes at least one cooling installation for actively cooling the accommodating chamber.
