Jet Vapor Deposition (JVD): The Obvious Future Choice for Zinc Coating of Steel

The galvanization of steel for the automotive industry or appliances presents certain challenges that are not completely resolved by conventional technologies. The first of these challenges is the galvanization of third-generation advanced high-strength steel up to 290 ksi (2,000 MPa). Such steels chemistries require a high alloying content to obtain the desired mechanical characteristics. The second challenge is to produce exposed panels with the most advanced characteristics in terms of surface aspect, weldability, formability, coating uniformity and corrosion resistance, together with a minimized OPEX. The third challenge is to coat hot-rolled material while reducing energy consumption. With jet vapor deposition (JVD), there is no need to heat the strip up to pot temperature then to cool down to ambient temperature like in hot-dip galvanizing. The strip is heated only to 212 degrees fahrenheit to avoid humidity. Once again, OPEX is minimized. This article will present how JVD overcomes those challenges and describe the main characteristics of this process.
