Abstract
A steel sheet is plated with a molten metal in a plating tank. A buffer member is provided between a sink roll submerged in the melt in the plating tank and the side wall of tank at its delivery end from which the plated steel sheet emerges. During plating, the buffer member decelerates the melt flows coming from below the sink roll so as to settle the suspended dross in the melt. The buffer member may be in the form of a rod or a plate. If desired, it may be combined with a shield plate provided below the sink roll or a raised portion formed on the bottom of the plating tank.
