Computer Modelling Galvanization
NRC scientists have developed new computer modeling techniques to help manufacturers to optimize the design and usage of galvanization baths. Galvanized steel is widely used in automobile manufacturing to protect metal against the harmful effects of corrosion. Galvanization involves placing steel parts into a bath of molten zinc. However, these baths don't provide a uniform environment thus diminishing the quality of the galvanized product. In this image, two NRC scientists discuss the results of a computational galvanization bath simulation experiment using a 3D visualisation tool called ImmersaDesk. |
