It\u2019s capable of performing complex heat treatments on sheet steel in controlled atmospheres before dipping in a bath of molten zinc alloy. The HDPS allows us to investigate the interactions between the steel substrate and the coating before making changes in order to improve the final product. We are able to alter the chemistry of the bath to investigate the role of micro-additions on the microstructure and corrosion resistance of coatings. This is the only HDPS in a European University and was built to our specification.<\/p>\n<p><b>Contact<\/b><br \/>Prof David Penney -\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:d.penney@swansea.ac.uk\">d.penney@swansea.ac.uk<\/a><\/p>"}]}
