Aluminium is a perfect substrate for colour coating, given its flat matt finish and high corrosion resistance. Aluminum coils 3 serial number is the most commonly used.Aluminium consumption in the construction industry is growing, due to its weight differential compared to steel, making it suitable for long span roofing sheets, sandwich panels, composite panels and many other construction applications.


Methods of coating aluminium for construction applications are typically similar to that of steel, however, the sensitive surface, soft alloys, different micro structure and conductivity means some subtle differences must be considered when designing equipment for coating aluminium. The points below are aimed at highlighting these requirements.


Multi-color printing system can be added into coating line to get pattern aluminium, The decorative effect is richer and more beautiful. Such as wood pattern, marble pattern.

 Carbon Steel Coils Continuous Annealing Hot-dip Galvanizing Line, Galvalume Line
 The formation process of the hot-dip galvanized layer is the process of forming an iron-zinc alloy between the iron matrix and the outermost pure zinc layer. The iron-zinc alloy layer is formed on the surface of the workpiece during hot-dip coating, which makes the iron and pure zinc layer very close. Good combination, the process can be simply described as: when the iron workpiece is immersed in molten zinc, a solid solution of zinc and α iron (body core) is first formed on the interface. This is a crystal formed by dissolving zinc atoms in the base metal iron in a solid state. 
 The two metal atoms are fused, and the attraction between the atoms is relatively small. Therefore, when zinc reaches saturation in the solid solution, the two element atoms of zinc and iron diffuse each other, and the zinc atoms that have diffused (or infiltrated) into the iron matrix migrate in the matrix lattice, and gradually form alloys with iron and diffuse The iron and zinc in the molten zinc form an intermetallic compound FeZn13, which sinks into the bottom of the hot-dip galvanizing pot, which is called zinc dross. When the workpiece is removed from the zinc immersion solution, a pure zinc layer is formed on the surface, which is a hexagonal crystal. Its iron content is not more than 0.003%.
 Hot-dip galvanized layer protection performance
 The thickness of the electro-galvanized layer is usually 5-15μm, and the hot-dip galvanized layer is generally above 65μm, even as high as 100μm. Hot-dip galvanizing has good coverage, dense coating and no organic inclusions. As we all know, the mechanism of zinc resistance to atmospheric corrosion includes mechanical protection and electrochemical protection. Under atmospheric corrosion conditions, there are protective films of ZnO, Zn(OH)2 and basic zinc carbonate on the surface of the zinc layer, which can slow down the corrosion of zinc to a certain extent. 
 The layer protective film (also called white rust) is damaged and a new layer is formed. When the zinc layer is seriously damaged and the iron matrix is endangered, zinc will produce electrochemical protection to the matrix. The standard potential of zinc is -0.76V, and the standard potential of iron is -0.44V. When zinc and iron form a microbattery, zinc is dissolved as an anode. Protected as a cathode. Obviously, hot-dip galvanizing has better atmospheric corrosion resistance to base metal iron than electro-galvanizing.
 Formation control of zinc ash and slag during hot-dip galvanizing
 Zinc ash and zinc slag not only seriously affect the quality of the zinc dipping layer, but also cause the coating to be rough and produce zinc nodules. Moreover, the cost of hot-dip galvanizing is greatly increased. Usually, the zinc consumption is 80-120kg per 1t workpiece. If the zinc ash and dross are serious, the zinc consumption will be as high as 140-200kg.  
 Controlling the zinc carbon is mainly to control the temperature and reduce the scum produced by the oxidation of the zinc liquid surface. Some domestic manufacturers use refractory sand, charcoal ash, etc. Foreign countries use ceramic or glass balls that have low thermal conductivity, high melting point, low specific gravity, and do not react with zinc liquid, which can reduce heat loss and prevent oxidation. This kind of ball is easy to be pushed away by the workpiece and has no adhesion to the workpiece. Side effect.
For the formation of zinc dross in zinc liquid, it is mainly a zinc-iron alloy with extremely poor fluidity formed when the iron content dissolved in the zinc liquid exceeds the solubility at this temperature. The zinc content in the zinc dross can be as high as 95%, which is hot-dip galvanizing. The key to the high cost of zinc.
 From the solubility curve of iron in zinc liquid, it can be seen that the amount of dissolved iron, that is, the amount of iron loss, is different at different temperatures and different holding times. At around 500℃, the iron loss increases sharply with heating and holding time, almost in a linear relationship. 
 Below or above the range of 480～510℃, the iron loss increases slowly with time. Therefore, people call 480～510℃ the malignant dissolution zone. In this temperature range, the zinc solution will corrode the workpiece and the zinc pot the most severely. The iron loss will increase significantly when the temperature is above 560℃. If the temperature is above 660℃, the zinc will destructively etch the iron matrix. The zinc dross will increase sharply and the plating will not be possible. . Therefore, plating is currently carried out in the two regions of 450-480°C and 520-560°C.

Weifang HiTo Equipment Engineering Co.,Ltd has got three orders in 2023, UAE coils continuous hot dip galvanizing line, Iran coils continuous color coating line, Bangladesh steel coils colour coating line.

My factory all workers hurry up to manufacture all equipment, ensure timely delivery according to the contract.

The galvanizing production line uses different process parameter requirements in actual production due to the different components of the zinc liquid.

There are three main types of zinc liquid components:

1.GI, pure zinc (≥ 99.8%),

2. GL, zinc aluminum alloys (with different composition proportions),

3. ZAM, zinc aluminum magnesium (with strong anti-corrosion performance, which has been a focus of development and research in recent years)

Relatively special is the production of zinc aluminum alloy coating products, as the melting temperature is high, which requires the addition of a pre melting pot and a guide groove (with heating function) in the process requirements

Therefore, in the aluminum zinc coating production line project in the United Arab Emirates, we have chosen and manufactured ceramic induction pre melting pots and ceramic guide grooves.

After three months of procurement, production and five months of installation, the project in Dubai enters the debugging stage.The customer purchased a color coating line from HiTo,it works well.After one year,he ordered a hot dip galvanizing line.Thanks customer's trust to Weifang HiTo Equipment Engineering Co.,ltd.

HiTo Engineering has been manufacturing Coils Coating Lines such as Coils Continuous Hot Dip Galvanizing Line(Carbon Steel Coils Galvalume Line) and Coil Color Coating Line (Coils Paint Coating Line) since 2008 and has over 80 references worldwide.
