Abstract
Consider the solidification of a layer of molten zinc on a steel substrate, a central step in the manufacture of galvanised iron. Under present operations, the zinc layer cools in air after it is passed through a bath of molten zinc and air jet strippers. It is proposed to cool the zinc layer by a bank of nozzles which spray a cloud of microscopic water droplets at high speed towards the surface (Figure 1).
