Abstract:
A method of forming a coating of an Al—Zn—Si—Mg alloy on a steel strip to form an Al—Zn—Mg—Si coated steel strip is disclosed. The method includes the steps of dipping steel strip into a bath of molten Al—Zn—Si—Mg alloy and forming a coating of the alloy on exposed surfaces of the steel strip and cooling the coated strip with cooling water. The cooling step includes controlling the pH of cooling water to be in a range of p H 5-9. Particular embodiments focus on Al—Zn—Si—Mg alloys that contain the following elements in % by weight: Zn: 30 to 60, Si: 0.3 to 3, Mg: 0.3 to 10, and Balance Al and unavoidable impurities.

Claim (Index 7):
The method defined in  claim 1  wherein the cooling step includes an open loop and not a closed loop.
