Objective

This project aims to enhance the control of coating thickness in galvanising lines. The research work will be directed in particular at: - correcting the cross-bow defect of the strip passing in front of the nozzles of the wiping device by an on-line control system acting on the snap rolls position in the zinc pot; - reducing dynamic effects by developing air floating technology and process procedures; - optimising air knife geometry for 55% Al-Zn coatings.
