HIGH TEMPERATURE COATING

NEED HIGH TEMPERATURE COATING TO REDUCE REACTION BETWEEN MOLTEN ZINC AT 600 °C WITH STEEL POT?

Good luck!

If you will heat a steel kettle up to 600 °C it will break. This temperature is only possible with ceramic lined kettles.

Dear Niten,

If you can run your equipment mainly permanently at 600 °C you can use the kettle for a certain period of non interrupted operation. Heating can be done by surface Burners. Be aware of higher dross of Zinc-Iron at bottom. There are some metallurgical influences to the steel which would have to be discussed.

Dear Nitin,

Since you are from Jharkhand, your company must be TISCO. Your problem is the limited pot life of the hot dip galvanizing or galvalume line vessel. Recently I reviewed some research done in the USA. The chaps at finishing.com are prohibiting posting e-mail addresses on their forum. I think USA is still a free country unlike Soviet Union. So here is my e-mail address (if the chaps at finishing.com do not censor it like the Gestapo or the old KGB). If you contact me I can share some scientific information with you.

1). Niten requested that his company name not be included on his posting, Dr. Iyengar, so we didn't include it. But you decide that it is your job to "out" people, publicly post his company name, and disclose info about the company's process equipment.

2). This is a forum for public discussion. We've previously asked privately that you use the site the way it was intended, and stop hijacking the public discussions trying to take them private. This has long been regarded as poor netiquette because the discussions draws readers' interest, then they are cut off and left in the lurch.

3). Instead you continue to use the site as a cork board to post ads and requests that people contact you privately, while limiting your public contributions to the hurling of insults.

4). The Soviet Union doesn't exist anymore because they refused to accept capitalism. Finishing.com is a commercial website in a capitalist country, and possible only because your competitors pay the bills for the public discussions. But you feel that they should also pay the costs of your advertising campaigns and your attempts to steer the potential customers away from them.

5). This is the sixth time you've given us a new e-mail address; earlier you provided the addresses technovations2002@yahoo.com, tii@bellatlantic.net, ramkiyengar@netscape.net, ramkiyengar@hotmail.com, and riyengar@smcwv.com. Must our advertisers, rather than you, additionally pay for maintaining and constantly updating your email address across our pages?

6). Let it be known to the world that your current e-mail address is ramkiyengar@yahoo.com. If anyone wants to contact you they are very welcome to, and they probably deserve what they get.

7). We've worked too hard for too many years to let your selfish petulance wreck this site; so this posting is a one-time exception. We're not posting anything further from you.
