Exploring Carbide-Free Bainitic Structures for Hot Dip Galvanizing Products

A galvanizing story--protein stability and zinc homeostasis.

Energy consumption and capacity utilization of galvanizing furnaces

An explicit equation leading to a method for improving furnace efficiency is presented. This equation is dimensionless and can be applied to furnaces of any size and fuel type for the purposes of comparison. The implications for current furnace design are discussed. Currently the technique most commonly used to reduce energy consumption in galvanizing furnaces is to increase burner turndown. Th...

A Multi-Population Parallel Genetic Algorithm for Continuous Galvanizing Line Scheduling

The steelmaking process consists of two phases: primary steelmaking and finishing lines. The scheduling of the continuous galvanizing lines (CGL) is regarded as the most difficult process among the finishing lines due to its multi-objective and highlyconstrained nature. In this paper, we present a multi-population parallel genetic algorithm (MPGA) with a new genetic representation called k near...

Trust Your Gut: Galvanizing Nutritional Interest in Intestinal Cholesterol Metabolism for Protection against Cardiovascular Diseases

Recent studies have demonstrated that the intestine is a key target organ for overall health and longevity. Complementing these studies is the discovery of the trans-intestinal cholesterol efflux pathway and the emerging role of the intestine in reverse cholesterol transport. The surfacing dynamics of the regulation of cholesterol metabolism in the intestine provides an attractive platform for...
