Abstract (en)

[origin: US4862825A] For stripping sheet metal coated in a galvanizing or vitreous-coating installation directly after the coated sheet has left a bath of molten coating material, both sides of the sheet are blasted with a thin curtain of gas. For this purpose a gas is used which is significantly heavier than air and is recirculated, the gas being for example sulfur hexafluoride or a mixture containing this gas.
