Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé de stabilisation d'un feuillard enduit d'un revêtement et guidé entre des buses de raclage d'une installation de galvanisation à chaud ainsi qu'une installation de galvanisation à chaud correspondante. En fonction de la position du feuillard saisie, des forces stabilisatrices sont exercées sur le feuillard par des bobines agissant sur le feuillard d'acier en déplacement, ces bobines ayant une action électromagnétique sans contact et étant disposées en aval des buses de raclage dans le sens de déplacement du feuillard. Afin de mieux stabiliser le feuillard dans la zone des buses de raclage, l'espacement entre la ligne d'action du dispositif de stabilisation de feuillard et les buses de raclage est réglé à une valeur ≤ à une valeur d'espacement seuil, laquelle est déterminée en fonction de la largeur du feuillard et d'un facteur Phi qui est calculé en fonction de l'épaisseur et de tension du feuillard.
