Abstract

Metal strip is passed around a cylinder immersed in a bath of molten metal. Selection of one-sided or two-sided coating is made by selecting the position at which the strip enters and leaves the bath relative to the position at which the strip comes into and out of contact with the cylinder, by selecting the level of the bath surface or by moving an auxiliary roll.
