Corrosion tests of 316L and two intermetallic compounds Fe3AI and FeCrSi in industrial Galvanizing (Zn-0.18Al), GALFAN (Zn-5AI), GALVALUME (Zn-55AI), and Aluminizing (AI-8Si) baths and lab-scale static baths were conducted. In on-line tests in industrial hot-dip baths, 316L steel shows better corrosion resistance than Fe3AI in Galvanizing, GALFAN, and GALVALUME baths. The corrosion resistance o...

The forming of zinc dross floating on the surface molten in pot is inevitable during hot-dip galvanizing production. cleaning has always been a challenge and difficult problem to solve. Based electromagnetic field theory its application, new removal technology was proposed, driven by flowing possible remove an circumstance. Through coupling simulation flow field, force acting situation were sim...

Herein, the bending behavior of a hot-rolled hyper-sandelin steel subjected to hot-dip galvanizing (HDG) is numerically simulated. Two coating types are analyzed, that is, pure zinc and zinc-based with 3% Sn addition by weight. It experimentally observed tin influences thickness each intermetallic phase increases ductility phases. Therefore, key numerical simulation assume suitable constitutive...

A simple mathematical model of an indirect-fired strip annealing furnace for real-time control and optimization purposes is developed. The considered furnace is part of a hot-dip galvanizing line and is used for continuous heat treatment of steel strips. The heat that is released during the combustion process inside the radiant tubes is calculated by means of steady-state mass and enthalpy bala...
