Henrique Eleuterio (Usiminas)22/06/2021, 16:10HDG Process Technology - Furnace, Galvanizing Bath, Coating Weight ControlOral PresentationThe control of Al content in the bath of molten Zn in Continuous Galvanizing Lines (CGL) allows to improve the surface quality of coated products, particularly in the case of galvanized (GI) coating, to minimize the precipitation of Fe-Zn intermetallic particles in the bath, named dross particles, and to improve operational efficiency by increasing the process velocity. The control of Al...Go to contribution page

Sergey Yashchuk (JSC Severstal Management)22/06/2021, 16:30Zinc-Aluminum-Magnesium and Zinc-Aluminum Coatings for Non-Automotive ApplicationOral PresentationCurrently, the optimum aluminum content in the alloy for Aluminum-zinc coating considered wt.55%. In addition to aluminum and zinc, the alloy contains 1.6 wt.% Silicon, which is introduced to suppress the exothermic reaction of the melt with iron. Cold-rolled steel coils with such a coating, has gained wide popularity and produced in many countries of the world. A coating with 55% aluminum...Go to contribution page

Kintak Raymond Yu (National Research Council Canada)22/06/2021, 16:50In-Line Measurements and Quality ControlOral Presentation (*)In continuous galvanizing line operations, the thickness and the uniformity of the zinc coating are governed by the gas jet wiping process; a complex multi-phase, multi-scale phenomenon. Though efficient, the process leads to the undesired top skimming formation. To better understand the intricate interactions among the moving strip, the unsteady turbulent jet, the falling excess liquid zinc...Go to contribution page

The surface quality of galvanized steel sheets is considerably influenced by intermetallic dross particles, which inevitably form during operation. η-phase Fe2Al5 top dross and δ-phase FeZn7 bottom dross particles have been reported to be entrapped into the coating causing functional and optical defects. Moreover, particles are frequently mentioned to adhere to the stationary and the moving...

Matthieu Didier (ArcelorMittal)22/06/2021, 17:30HDG Process Technology - Furnace, Galvanizing Bath, Coating Weight ControlOral Presentation
During production of galvanized products, the Hot Dip Galvanizing bath is managed with additions of ingots allowing to guaranty the stability of the bath level and composition. Hot Dip Galvanizing pot productivity (in kg/h) is then defined as the amount of materials melted in the pot during a given time. The pot productivity is generally monitored to maintain the HDG bath at a stable level and...
