  • Publication number: 20110236677
    Abstract: A method for producing a galvanized steel sheet includes contacting a steel sheet with a zinc-containing aqueous solution having a zinc ion concentration of 1 to 100 g/l, contacting the steel sheet with an aqueous solution with a pH of 6 to 14, washing the steel sheet with water, and then drying the steel sheet. An example of the zinc-containing aqueous solution is a solution containing zinc sulfate. According to the method, an oxide layer which has an average thickness of 10 nm or more and which principally contains zinc is formed on the steel sheet and the galvanized steel sheet can be stably produced at high speed in a reduced space so as to have excellent press formability.

  • Publication number: 20110226387
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a galvanized steel sheet, includes: galvanizing a steel sheet; bringing the surface of the steel sheet into contact with an aqueous solution containing zinc ion in the range of 5 to 100 g/l as the zinc ion concentration, having a pH of 4 to 6, and having a liquid temperature of 20 to 70° C., holding the steel sheet for 1 to 60 seconds; and then washing and drying the steel sheet. The solution containing zinc is preferably one containing zinc sulfate, for example. According to the method, a galvanized steel sheet having an oxide layer having an average thickness of 10 nm or more and mainly containing zinc formed on the surface of the steel sheet and having excellent press formability can be stably manufactured in a short time.

  • Publication number: 20080070060
    Abstract: The hot-dip galvanized steel sheet has: a steel sheet containing 0.1 to 3.0% of Si by mass; a hot-dip galvanizing layer; and a segregated layer, being placed between the steel sheet and the hot-dip galvanizing layer, having a thickness in a range from 0.01 to 100 ?m; containing an oxide containing Si, and being composed of at least one component selected from the group consisting of S, C, Cl, Na, K, B, P, F, and N. The hot-dip galvanized steel sheet shows beautiful surface appearance without generating non-plating portion and provides excellent plating adhesion and sliding property in spite of using a base steel sheet containing a large quantity of Si. Furthermore, the alloy hot-dip galvanized steel sheet obtained by allying the hot-dip galvanized plating also has excellent anti-powdering property.

  • Patent number: 6461465
    Abstract: An apparatus for manufacturing a liquid crystal panel in which two substrates are faced to each other with spacers interposed therebetween, applied with heat pressure in an overlapped condition, and adhesive arranged between the two substrates is cured for fixing, characterized in that at least of a pair of pressurizing plates for applying pressure to the two substrates is a graphite plate and in that upper and lower pressurizing plates are made to be of different rigidity. The graphite plate of low rigidity is made to stick to the substrate, and shifts between substrate can be prevented while securing uniformity in gap between substrates.

  • Patent number: 6290776
    Abstract: A hot dip coating apparatus enables stable and continuous production of a coated steel strip having a high degree of uniformity of the coating quality over the breadth of the steel strip and clean coated surfaces free of deposition of dross. The hot dip coating apparatus has a bottom slit through which a steel strip to be coated is introduced and pulled upward through the coating tank, and an electromagnetic sealing device which applies a magnetic field to the molten metal in the coating tank so as to hold the molten metal inside the tank. The coating tank is provided at its top with an overflow dam for allowing the molten mental to overflow out of the coating tank. The apparatus also has a molten metal supply system which produces a circulating flow of the molten metal through the coating tank. The molten metal supply system has molten metal buffers which communicate with a molten metal supply passage and from which the molten metal is discharged towards the steel strip.
