Design of a cooling apparatus for a hot dip aluminized steel wire

$15.00

Experimental observations indicate that the growth of the intermetallic layer during the hot dip process is more effectively prevented through cooling hot dipped aluminized steel than through a molten aluminum bath. A numerical analysis carried out by the authors provided simulation modelling for various cooling sequences which may be useful in determining optimum wire temperature and speed, required coating thickness, and final wire temperature.
