On the galvanizing line in Desvres, Arcelor has implemented an innovative low temperature preheating cycle for the hot rolled strips. This made it possible to increase the line output without any major process modification but for the preheating that is carried out at a temperature on the order of 500°C. The arrangement of the direct fired preheating has been adapted accordingly, with new burners and the last zone is set at a higher temperature, to limit the oxidation of the strip.
