Abstract

See full text

A hot-dip plating apparatus for plating a thin molten solder film can control a film thickness of a molten solder on a base material evenly and in increments of a few μm and achieve a thin-film solder plating having a film thickness less than a conventional system. As shown in FIG. 1, this apparatus comprises a solder bath 17 of accommodating the molten solder 7; a second conveying section 23 for drawing up a strip member 31 from the solder bath; and a blower section 19 for blowing hot gas on the strip member 31 immediately after being drawn up from the solder bath by a second conveying section 23; the hot gas having a predetermined flow volume and a predetermined temperature equal to or higher than a melting temperature of the molten solder 7. According to this configuration, the excess molten solder 7 can be trimmed from the strip member 31 corresponding to composition of the molten solder 7. Thus, the film thickness of the molten solder 7 coated on the strip member 31 can be controlled evenly and in increments of a few μm.
