About the Course:

The GalvInfo Center, a program of the International Zinc Association, sponsors a 3-day webinar providing a comprehensive overview of hot dip galvanized sheet production covering:

  • coating line production processes
  • annealing
  • coating weight control
  • galvannealing
  • post galvanizing surface treatments
  • coated sheet defects
  • zinc bath management principles and technology

The course deals primarily with the operation of continuous galvanizing lines, including the metallurgical processes involved. A review and listing of key process variable is included.  There will be a ‘live’ ZOOM question and answer session at the end of the course.
