Coating Weight Model for the Continuous Hot-Dip Galvanizing Process
Abstract
A coating weight model was developed to describe the pressure and wall shear stress distributions as functions of slot gap (d) and impingement distance (Z), for the air knife wiping of the liquid zinc coatings in continuous hot dip galvanizing at ratios of Z/d ≤ 8. This model was then used in validation studies in order to predict the coating weight as a function of the process parameters. The model was based on improved correlations for …
