PROCESS AND HOT-DIP COATING SYSTEM FOR STABILIZING A STRIP GUIDED BETWEEN STRIPPING DIES OF THE HOT-DIP COATING SYSTEM AND PROVIDED WITH A COATING

摘要

The invention relates to a method of stabilizing a strip guided between stripping dies of a hot-dip coating installing and provided with a coating, and also to a corresponding hot-dip coating installation. In this context, stabilizing forces are applied to the strip on the basis of the detected strip position by coils which are arranged downstream of the stripping dies in the strip displacement direction and act electromagnetically and in a contactless manner on the displaceable steel strip. In order to improve the stabilization of the strip in the region of the stripping die, the invention proposes that the distance between the line of action of the strip-stabilizing means and the stripping dies be adjusted to a value <= a distance threshold value which is determined as a function of the strip width taking into account a coefficient .phi., wherein the coefficient .phi. is calculated as a function of the strip thickness and the strip tension.
