Objective
The prime objective of this research project is to develop a process enabling continuously produced hot dip galvanised (HDG) and galvannealed (GA) materials to be produced using the same bath chemistry. The second objective is to investigate a variety of additives in the spelter during manufacture of full- finish and general purpose continuously produced HDG and GA products in order to enhance their properties and performance. The effects of these additives on performance (powdering and flaking), surface quality and integrity (adhesion and corrosion resistance) as well as effects on the galvanising/galvannealing process will be assessed. Implementation of the results of this research work is expected to reduce air pollution both around the plant and in the workplace.
