| Abstract | Achieving a stable thermal field and adequate control of aluminum and iron content in continuous galvanizing bath operations are of critical importance in achieving automotive quality coated steel products. Previously, numerical models have been developed to describe the flow, temperature and compositional variations in a conventional continuous galvanizing operation. For advanced high strength steels, the strip entry temperature can be different from the mean bath temperature because of over-aging treatments such as carbon partitioning or bainitic transformation that are performed just before entry into the zinc bath. Moreover, advanced high strength steels typically have higher manganese content, which may dissolve into the bath. It is anticipated that the elevated Mn content of the strip could also potentially influence the bath dross formation. This work aims to numerically examine the effects of these two aspects, namely a strip entering the bath at a temperature different from the bath temperature and the Mn content of the strip, on the bath dross formation. |
