The GalvInfo Center & International Zinc Association sponsored a 2-day workshop providing a comprehensive overview of hot dip galvanized sheet production. The course covered coating line production processes, including seam welding, cleaning, annealing, coating weight control, galvannealing, post galvanizing surface treatments, as well as zinc bath management principles and technology.

The course dealt primarily with the operation of continuous galvanizing lines, including the metallurgical processes involved. A review and listing of key process variables was included.  Time was allowed in each module for questions, along with general questions at the end of the course.

This course was designed for anyone interested in expanding their knowledge of the basic principles of galvanized steel sheet production. The course was especially beneficial to process engineers, maintenance personnel, production operators, and process related quality assurance staff.  R&D engineers, technical sales people, and anyone whose job requires knowledge of how coated sheet is made benefitted.  Equipment manufacturers and industry service suppliers also benefitted from this course.
