Definitions
- This invention relates to the wiping of a metal coating applied to wire or strip.
- the invention has particular although not exclusive application to the wiping of coated wire or strip, as it emerges from a bath of molten metal, such as for example zinc or some other suitable metal coating material.
- the asbestos string is wound around the wire and the wire passed through a slot between a pair of fingers, so that the string is wedged into the slot, this wiping the surface of the wire or strip.
- pads these have generally been formed by hand, by winding asbestos card into a pad or disc, the pad or disc then being placed in an suitable pad holder.
- European patent specification No. 0,009,940 discloses a method of making a material in the form of refractory fibrous material, including alumino silicate fibrous materials.
- a method of wiping coated wire or strip, emerging from a bath of molten metal, using a pad including compressed alumino silicate fibres is provided.
- a method of forming a pad for the wiping of coated wire or strip as it emerges from a bath of molten metal including the steps of:
- compressed, non-combustible material consisting essentially of alumino silicate fibrous material
- a suitable coating such as zinc or some other metal coating
- the compression of the material including the alumino silicate fibrous material is carried out by a press which consists of a piston moving within a tubular member or housing of a cross section corresponding substantially to that of the resulting pad.

Description
- This invention relates to the wiping of a metal coating applied to wire or strip.
- The invention has particular although not exclusive application to the wiping of coated wire or strip, as it emerges from a bath of molten metal, such as for example zinc or some other suitable metal coating material.
- Up until this time, in the galvanising of wire or coating of wire, the wire or strip has been taken from the bath at a relatively shallow angle to the horizontal and wiped with an asbestos pad or asbestos string.
- In the case of asbestos string for example, the asbestos string is wound around the wire and the wire passed through a slot between a pair of fingers, so that the string is wedged into the slot, this wiping the surface of the wire or strip. In the case of pads, these have generally been formed by hand, by winding asbestos card into a pad or disc, the pad or disc then being placed in an suitable pad holder.
- European patent specification No. 0,009,940 discloses a method of making a material in the form of refractory fibrous material, including alumino silicate fibrous materials.
- It is an object of this invention to go someway towards providing a method for the wiping of coated wire or strip as it emerges from a bath of molten metal and to provide a method for forming a material for use in such wiping of coated wire or strip.
- It is a further object of the invention to provide the public and manufacturers with a useful choice.
- Other objects of this invention will become apparent from the following description.
- According to one aspect of this invention there is provided a method of wiping coated wire or strip, emerging from a bath of molten metal, using a pad including compressed alumino silicate fibres.
- According to a further aspect of this invention, there is provided a method of forming a pad for the wiping of coated wire or strip as it emerges from a bath of molten metal, including the steps of:
- (a) feeding an amount of material including fibrous alumino silicate, and
- (b) compressing said material under pressure to form an integral pad.
- The invention will now be described by way of example only, and it should be appreciated that modifications or improvements may be made to the invention without departing from the scope thereof, as defined by the appended claims.
- It has been found in experimentation, that compressed, non-combustible material, consisting essentially of alumino silicate fibrous material, has particular advantages in the wiping of wire or strip, which has been coated with a suitable coating, such as zinc or some other metal coating, as it emerges from a bath of molten metal, such as during the processing of wire or strip.
- In one form of the invention, the compression of the material including the alumino silicate fibrous material is carried out by a press which consists of a piston moving within a tubular member or housing of a cross section corresponding substantially to that of the resulting pad.
- The pressure applied to the material will vary depending upon the size of the material and also upon the size of the wire to be wiped.
- The compression and thus compacting of the material causes a resultant pad or disc to remain as an integral unit during wiping of coated wire or strip.
- For large diameter wires, the pads are preferably softer (that is to say compressed at a lower pressure), than would be the case for pads suitable for small diameter wires.
- The pad is thus formed of a non-combustible material, consisting essentially of an alumino silicate fibrous material.
- The alumino silicate fibrous material is fed to a compression station or means, and then compressed by applied pressure into a pad or disc. If desired a suitable lubricant, such as powdered graphite can be added to the alumino silicate fibrous material.
- The present method provides for the use of such a compressed pad consisting essentially of alumino silicate fibrous material in the wiping of coated wire or strip, such as it emerges from a bath of molten metal. For example, as in the galvanising of wire or strip. The method of wiping coated wire or strip according to the present invention has a number of advantages. By way of example, the advantages are:
- 1. The use of alumino silicate fibrous material removes or at least reduces substantially health hazards which are present by using asbestos material such as used up until this time.
- 2. It has been found during experimentation that use of alumino silicate fibrous material, as a pad wiping material, enables the pad wiping material to withstand temperatures generally higher than asbestos or other material. For example, it has been found that alumino silicate fibrous material can generally withstand high temperatures (such as found during wiping operations) of up to approximately 1300°C.
- 3. The use of alumino silicate fibrous material as a pad wiping material has generally been found to give a longer and higher pad life than other pad wiping materials (such as asbestos).
- 4. By using alumino silicate fibrous material as a pad wiping material, it has been found that a more even wipe is obtained over the wire or strip, than is generally obtained by using other materials (such as asbestos).
- 5. The use of alumino silicate fibrous material results in a tighter wipe about the wire or strip, and generally speaking results in a low coating thickness as compared with other materials.
- Preferably, in use alumino silicate fibre material, the material is compressed into a pad or disc by an applied pressure in the range of about 7 to 20 tonnes per square inch (1x108 to 3x108 Nm-2). This is however by way of example only.
- It will be appreciated that the compacting of the alumino silicate fibrous material causes the pad to remain as an integral unit during wiping.
- In use, it has been found to be advantageous to add a lubricant, such as for example powdered graphite. This is advantageous for example at the beginning of a wiping operation, when the wire or strip begins to pass through or past the pad.
