METAL-COATED STEEL STRIP

摘要

A method of forming an Al-Zn-Si-Mg alloy coating on a steel strip includes dipping steel strip into a bath of molten Al-Zn-Si-Mg alloy and forming a coating of the alloy on exposed surfaces of the steel strip. The method also includes controlling conditions in the molten coating bath and downstream of the coating bath so that there is a uniform Al/Zn ratio across the surface of the coating formed on the steel strip. An Al-Zn-Mg-Si coated steel strip includes a uniform Al/Zn ratio on the surface or the outermost 1-2μm of the Al-Zn-Si-Mg alloy coating.
