In this paper,the recent state and problems of the sink roll in CGL are described.Several methods of increasing its operational life span are introduced,such as surface coating technology and sleeve material technology.Fundamentally they cannot solve the problems of surface quality caused by the contact between strip and roll.On this basis,the newly developed principle and solutions for hot dip galvanizing technology without sink roll are highly emphasized,they are Float Technology,Electromagnetic pump technology,Electromagnetic enclosed slot by high-frequency AC,Electromagnetic enclosed slot by high-frequency DC.A comparison among their functions and characteristics is made and the possibility of its application is also discussed.Finally it comes to a conclusion that electromagnetic enclosed slot represents the direction of a continuous hot-dip galvanizing steel strip in the the 21st century.It has a very broad application prospects.Baosteel Technology Center is focused on the research and development of this technology.As technology advances,industrial applications is possible.

Simulation analysis of hot dip galvanizing process parameters based on orthogonal experimental design

An iron and steel company＇ s hot galvanizing technology was chosen as the object. An orthogonal experimental scheme with 5 factors of mixed level was designed, according to the various factors affecting the distribution of slag. For each scheme, the amount of slag and slag height in different orthogonal schemes by simulation were obtained with FLUENT software. Then, range and variance analyses were selected to compare the trend of slag height in the different process parameters of the hot dip galvanizing process. Finally, the optimal combination of the process parameters was obtained.

The history, development, market need, and technological advancement of hot dip galvanized strip, production situation, and development tendency in China are briefly introduced. The fact that it is necessary to build new and auto galvanized strip line with the development of the iron and steel industry in China.

THE INFLUENCE OF COMPOSITION AND TEMPERATURE OF BATH ANDAFTER-TREATMENT 0N COLORATION IN COLORING HOT DIPGALVANIZATION

The 08 Al steel sheets were hot dip ped into Zn - Mn bath with 0 1 % Mn and 0 2 % Mn at600 ～420 ℃ bath tem perature , and then w ere treated in different w ays . The after - treat ments include cooling in the air at room tem perature directly , holding at the upper part of thehot dip galvanizing furnace for 60 s an d then holding at 510 ±10 ℃for 90 s . The results in dicated that blue , yellow , and purple , w hose coloration varied with the co m position an d thetem perature of bath and the w ays of after - treat ment . Finally , the mechanism of coloredzinc coating w as discussed .

Activities of binary baths with 1% solute as standard states

The relationships of activities with 1% solute as standard state and mass fraction of solute, and hot dip temperature, were given on the base of Miedema’s model, Tanaka expression, some basic thermodynamic relationships; and discussion was carried out on Zn Mn and Zn Ti binary alloys by calculation, in which varied colors can be achieved onthe hot dip steel sheets. The results indicate that the activity of solute shows positive deviation relative to Henry’s law for both Zn Mn and Zn Ti binary dilute solution. The degree of deviation increases with increasing solute and decreases with increasing bath temperature. As the solution is very dilute solution ( w (Mn)≤40% for Zn Mn alloy, w (Ti)≤8% for Zn Ti alloy), the two binary baths can all be treated as ideal dilute solutions. [

Investigation of the transformation of sink-roll groove-mark defect in the galvannealing process

The influence of galvannealing on the transformation of the sink-roll groove-mark defect was studied by comparing the defects on galvannealed( GA) coating with those on galvanized( GI) coating. It was found that defects on GI coating contained high amounts of aluminum,zinc dross,and a zinc-iron intermetallic outburst structure,as well as slight scratches on the substrate. After being galvannealed,the aluminum content was higher and there was a much greater outburst structure,which made the coating of the defect thicker than the normal coating,while the zinc dross and scratches on the substrate had disappeared due to zinc and iron diffusion during the galvannealing process.
