COATING WEIGHT CONTROL APPARATUS AND COATING WEIGHT CONTROL METHOD

Abstract:

An apparatus for controlling coating weight coated on a strip by using an air knife disposed in a travelling direction of the strip in a continuous plating process in which the strip is dipped in a molten metal pot and is coated includes: a prediction model unit including a prediction model in which a neural network is trained with accumulated operation conditions; and an optimum air knife condition calculation unit configured to derive an absolute value of at least one of an air knife gap and an air knife pressure by using the prediction model based on an input operation condition.
