Abstract
A process for the continuous dip-coating of a metal strip () in a tank () containing a liquid metal bath (), in which process the metal strip () is made to run continuously through a duct (), the lower part of which is immersed in the liquid metal bath (), in order to define with the surface of the bath a liquid seal (). In the region where the strip () leaves the liquid metal bath (), the liquid metal is isolated from the surface of the bath in an isolating enclosure (), and the metal oxide particles and intermetallic compound particles are recovered by the liquid metal flowing from this region into the enclosure (), and the particles are extracted from this enclosure (). Also, a plant for implementing the process.
