<p>A method, Fig. 1, of applying a coat (8) of metal on a metal wire (2) with substantially the same melting point as the metal, where the wire (2) by means of uncoiling reel (1) and coiling reel (17) is passed through a bath (4) of molten metal of said metal contained in a container, casting box or the like (3). Said wire (2) is passed from the uncoiling reel (1) and thereafter introduced into the bath (4). The method is characterized in that the wire (2) is passed out of the bath (4) through an outlet hole (6) in the bottom (5) of the container (3). The diameter or corresponding dimension of the outlet hole (6) is substantially, preferably 1.5 to 2 times greater than the diameter or corresponding dimension of the wire (2), whereby molten metal is caused to flow along the wire (2). The method further is characterized in that the molten metal flown out (8) is cooled by a cooling device (9, 10) to solidify to a coat (8) on the wire (2), whereafter the wire (2) with the coat (8) is coiled on the coiling reel (17). The invention also relates to an apparatus for carrying out the method. </p> |
