New approaches in electrolytic cleaning of cold rolled steel sheet

Objective

Cleaning of cold rolled steel is an indispensable step in modern lines for galvanizing of tin, zinc or zinc alloys. The demand for increased efficiency, speed, and reliability contrasts the requirements of the reduction in costs, energy consumption and environmental pollution.

These contradictory requirements shall be overcome by applying an appropriate sequence of anodic and cathodic pulses combined with optimised cleaners. Reducing side reactions (hydrogen evolution, bath electrolysis) minimises the consumption of energy and environmental resources. In-line tracking of the cleaning efficiency and the continuous monitoring and conditioning of the cleaning bath composition will help to prove the success made.
