Abstract:
1. An apparatus for manufacturing a steel sheet with a molten zinc coating comprising: a galvannealing furnace, a molten zinc coating device, a temper rolling mill, an acid solution contacting device which provides an acid solution film on a surface of the steel sheet, and a cleaning device, said molten zinc coating device, said temper rolling mill, said acid solution contacting device, and said cleaning device are configured to provide treatment to an upper surface and a lower surface of the steel sheet, wherein the acid solution contacting device and the cleaning device are separated from each other with a region therebetween, and an absolute humidity controller is configured to control the thickness of the acid solution film by controlling the absolute humidity in the region between the acid solution contacting device and the cleaning device, wherein said absolute humidity controller is disposed in the region between the acid solution contacting device and cleaning device, said absolute humidity controller includes a cover which encloses the region between the acid solution contacting device and the cleaning device, said absolute humidity controller includes a measuring means, a blower, and encloses the surfaces of the steel sheet as the steel sheet passes through said absolute humidity controller, and wherein the absolute humidity controller maintains the amount of water vapor at 2000 ppm by mass or more and a dew point of at least −12.7° C. in the absolute humidity controller.
