Abstract
A liquid wiping apparatus that can eliminate the increase in the thickness of membranous liquid and defects in the surface quality resulting from the attachment of splash onto the surface of a metallic strip and can improve the productivity in a manner of accelerating the line speed is provided. The liquid wiping apparatus includes blade wipers for contacting with a molten metal having been attached onto the metallic stripto mechanically wipe the molten metal. In the liquid wiping apparatus, a pressure applying unitof the static pressure pad type using gas is installed at the outlet side of the blade wiperin the strip running direction, and phase-mixed flow of gas/liquidis produced in membranous liquid running between the blade wiperand the strip
