Abstract

The thickness of the coating on a strip produced by modern hot-dip galvanizing lines is controlled with air jets which generate a ‘‘barrier’’ to the molten coating material as it is drawn from its bath by the emerging strip. It is shown that an improved understanding of the process and more accurate predictions may be obtained by modifying the existing theory to include the jet-induced surface shear acting in conjunction with the jet stagnation pressure gradient effect.
