- the coating / cover layer has excellent corrosion protection, s. medium cut.
- a hot-dip-coated metal strip (1) preferably steel strip can be reliably implemented by the inventive device or by the inventive method, for example, in the first vessel (11) a melt (11.1) of an aluminum alloy with approximately 10 wt .-% silicon and im second vessel (12) is provided a melt (12.1) of substantially pure aluminum.
- a melt (11.1) of an aluminum alloy with approximately 10 wt .-% silicon and im second vessel (12) is provided a melt (12.1) of substantially pure aluminum.
- the aforementioned advantages can be combined, i. h., That a relatively thin alloy layer (1.2) with a thickness of about 4 microns and a cover layer (1.3) of pure aluminum without FeSi needles can form, the coated with at least two chemically different layers steel strip (1) due to relatively thin alloy layer (1.2) can be complex formed and due to the substantially pure aluminum cover layer (1.3) has a high corrosion protection.
