From October 20 to 23, 2024, our colleague Elsa attended the Galvanizers Association Meeting in Cincinnati, USA. The conference offered interesting insights into the latest developments and challenges in the galvanizing industry.
To make the most of the trip, Elsa had already spent a few days in Chicago beforehand. This allowed her to get to know the city’s impressive architecture and cultural life.
At the conference in Cincinnati, presentations were given on the optimization and flexibilization of galvanizing lines. During the lunch and coffee breaks, all participants had the opportunity to continue the interesting topics in personal discussions and make new contacts.
On the second day of the conference, Elsa presented the topic “Fuel Flexibility in Self-Recuperative Burners for CGL”. We would like to thank Dr. Wünning from Wärmeprozesstechnik GmbH for his cooperation in the FlexHeat2Annealproject, in the context of which the presentation took place.
As part of the conference, the participants had the opportunity to visit Nucor Steel Gallatin ’s modern hot-to-coat galvanizing plant. They were able to gain an impression of the innovative technology and processes of this plant.
The GA meeting was rounded off with an evening of bowling, which gave participants the opportunity to network in a relaxed atmosphere.
Our thanks go to the Galvanizers Association for hosting the conference.
