Steel alloys containing chromium may be hot dip aluminized in a bath having up to 15% silicon with improved wettability by using a bright prennealing practice in a box furnace having a substantially pure hydrogen atmosphere. The surfaces of the preannealed steel are easily coated if the box annealing furnace has a dew point of less than -60°C (- 75°F). The preannealing should also include a minimum soak of at least 1 hour at a temperature of 675°C to 785°C (1250°F to 1450°F). It is important that the surfaces of the strip after preannealing are not removed prior to aluminizing. During the aluminizing operation, the strip temperature does not need to be heated to much above the bath temperature since the strip has already been preannealed. The furnace is maintained to avoid oxidation with an atmosphere which is typically a nitrogen, hydrogen or a hydrogen- nitrogen mixture. The surfaces of the steel prior to entering the aluminum bath have improved wettability and result in far less uncoated spots due to the improved surfaces provided by the preanneal in the dry box anneal. For ferritic stainless steels, such as Type 409, the surfaces have an iron enriched layer.

Les aciers alliés renfermant du chrome peuvent être aluminés à chaud dans un bain comportant jusqu'à 15 % de silice avec une mouillabilité améliorée par recuit préalable dans un four de recuit en discontinu sous atmosphère formée virtuellement d'hydrogène pur. Les surfaces de l'acier recuit s'enduisent facilement si le point de rosée dans le four de recuit en discontinu est inférieur à -60 degrés Celsius (-75 degrés Farenheit). Il convient également de prévoir un temps minimum de recuit d'au moins une heure à une température comprise entre 675 degrés Celsius et 785 degrés Celsius (1250 degrés F et 1450 degrés F). Il est important de conserver l'état de surface de la bande recuite jusqu'à l'aluminiage. En cours d'aluminiage, il n'est pas nécessaire de porter la bande à une température très supérieure à celle du bain d'aluminiage puisqu'elle a déjà subi un traitement de recuit. Le four est maintenu sous atmosphère formée typiquement d'azote, d'hydrogène ou d'un mélange azote-hydrogène pour éviter l'oxydation du métal. Ce traitement donne à l'acier une meilleure mouillabilité qui conduit à des lacunes d'enduction de beaucoup réduites. Les aciers ferritiques de type 409 par exemple présentent en surface une couche enrichie de fer.
