Abstract
Large vibration of the sheet metal near the air knife is one of the main factors controlling the accuracy of thickness of the cladding zinc in continuous hot-dip galvanizing line. Lots of vibration tests are carried out on the strip and main equipments in the zinc pot area of a galvanizing line during downtime and operation in order to diagnose causes of the large vibration of the strip near the air knife. Theoretic foundation of adjustment of control parameters to suppress the strip vibration is established. Main mechanisms of large vibration of the strip are found by the theory of the transverse vibration of axially moving continua. The first one is the resonance of forced vibration induced by support movement aroused by passive rollers’ sloshing in the zinc pot, and the other is the parametrically excited resonance of the strip induced by tension fluctuation enlarged by local structural resonances of the cooling tower.
