Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2281912A1] Continuous wire galvanizing method for at least one wire that comprises the stages of cleaning wire (3), induction heating to a first temperature, cooling to a second lower temperature, galvanizing and draining, with said heating, cooling and galvanizing stages being carried out independently and separately for each of said wires (3) in an inert atmosphere. In the cleaning stage, wire (3) passes through a first bath (26) with a phosphoric acid aqueous solution, wherein wire (3) is cleaned by ultrasound. Also the method comprises a drying stage by evaporating the liquid from the surface of wire (3) between the cleaning and heating stages. The invention also proposes a machine for putting the method into practice.
