Vibration Analysis of Steel Strip in Continuous Hot-Dip Galvanizing Process

REACTION KINETICS OF THE FORMATION OF INTERMETALLIC Fe – Zn DURING HOT - DIP GALVANIZING OF STEEL

P. Pokorny, J. Kolisko, L. Balik – Czech Technical University – Klokner Institute, Prague, Czech Republic P. Novak – Institute of Chemical Technology, Prague, Czech Republic This review article mainly describes the composition of intermetallic Fe Zn, i.e. zeta (ζ), delta (δ1k + δ1p), gamma1 (Γ1) and gamma (Γ) on galvanized steel during low temperature galvanization (t ~ 450 °C). It gives detail...

Exploring Carbide-Free Bainitic Structures for Hot Dip Galvanizing Products

Integration of Continuous Caster and Hot Strip Mill Planning for Steel Production 9/11/99 Integration of Continuous Caster and Hot Strip Mill Planning for Steel Production

In this paper we present a model and a solution approach for integration of steel continuous casters and hot strip mills to provide more responsive steel production at lower unit cost. We describe the production environment and survey existing methods for planning continuous casters and hot strip mills. Since these processes lie at the solid/liquid interface we use “virtual” slabs, correspondin...

Metallurgically Consistent Determination of Steel Hot Strength Using Process Data from Hot Strip Mill Rolling

It is not rare to observe an inverse relationship between hot strength determined from rolling load of the finishing stands of the hot strip mill and strain. This situation was already described in the literature and is explained by the use of inverse rolling load models that assumes sticking friction in the determination of hot strength. The aim of this work was to show that this “work softeni...

Some Applications of Neural Networks for Condition Monitoring in Industrial Systems for Hot Dip Zinc Galvanizing

The paper describes the abilities of some particular neural network structures (NNS) to provide condition monitoring in a real industrial system, designated for hot dip zinc galvanizing. Condition assessment of a molten zinc bath furnace, and more specifically analysis and prediction of the technical condition in galvanizing kettle walls are also developed in this paper.
