SUMMARY:The new hot-dip galvanizing line 3 at Salzgitter Flachstahl GmbH
DESCRIPTION:Salzgitter Flachstahl GmbH, Germany, successfully commissioned the new Continuous Galvanizing Line (CGL) FV 3 for the production of galvanized high strength steel coils. The new line plays an important role in SZFG’s strategy and secures regional employment. Galvanizing ultra high strength steels pays in on light weight construction and sustainability. We also increase the vertical range of manufacture in our product mix.
The line is supplied by SMS group and is located in Salzgitter, Germany. On July 23rd 2022, the first galvanized prime coil was produced. Besides the design and production of the mechanical equipment as well as the complete electrics and automation package, the furnace and process technology was part of the supply scope of SMS group, except the laser welder.
Each year, 500,000 tons of galvanized steel strips for automotive structural components, white goods and industrial applications will be produced.
Among other sophisticated technologies, the DREVER annealing furnace allows higher annealing temperatures, followed by faster strip cooling and longer dwell times. The configuration of the line as a whole also fulfills the structural as well as technical requirements to implement further innovative material concepts for the future. The new hot dip line can handle higher strength steels and support enhanced formability, and consequently also more complex component geometries. The continuous galvanizing line is equipped with a DUMA-BANDZINK air-knife system that ensure an optimum setting of the coating thickness plus a high surface quality of the zinc coating applied. The strip movement is stabilized additionally by the integrated electro-magnetic strip stabilization system. 
The main themes for this paper are the current and future product capabilities and the target market. Furthermore, the paper will emphasize the line concept and the process technology.
