In hot-dip galvanizing process,air jet wiping control is so crucial to decide the coating thickness and uniformity of the zinc layer on the steel strip.The mathematical models developed predict the zinc coating thickness as a function of pressure and shear stress.The required pressure and shear stress profile on the strip surface were calculated using regression analysis,and carried out using numerical simulation as FLUENT,a finite element analysis software.The influences of the outlet pressure,the nozzle to strip distance,the slot opening,the edge baffle plate,as well as the tilting angle of air knife were discussed.Combining with these results and regression analysis on the practical data,four first-order polynomial multi-parameter models were established for different targeted coating thicknesses with better regression coefficients.The validated model was used to carry out sensitivity analysis to determine the favorable controlling regime for the air jet wiping process.
