Abstract (en)

The invention provides a method for producing hot-dip metal coated steel sheet, comprising the steps of: continuously immersing a steel sheet in a hot-dip metal coating bath to adhere the molten metal of the bath onto a surface of the steel sheet; changing the running direction of the steel sheet using a direction-changing device located in the hot-dip metal coating bath, and then drawing up thereof from the bath; adjusting the coating weight of the molten metal adhered to the steel sheet using a gas-wiping device; and correcting the warp appeared on the steel sheet in non-contact state by the magnetic force using electromagnets which are positioned at upstream side and/or downstream side of the gas-wiping device and which apply the magnetic force to the steel sheet in the direction crossing the surface thereof. The current value of the electromagnet is set to a current value preliminarily determined on the basis of information relating to the steel sheet. The method allows producing a hot-dip metal coated steel sheet which suppresses the generation of warp over the whole length of the steel sheet, gives uniform coating weight, and provides excellent surface property. <IMAGE>
