Flat steel products are coated with zinc to ensure decorative requirements and prevent the steel from corrosion. Galvanized cold rolled (GCR) sheets has three main characteristics for decorative requirements, these are metallic effect, spangle and gloss. High gloss value is one of effective parameter on the customer demand. In order to define influencing factors on gloss value, GCR sheet samples, with different dimensions and produced with different parameters, had been taken. Influencing factors such as zinc coating mass, sheet thickness, chemical composition of zinc coating, line speed were investigated under constant zinc pot metallurgy conditions. This study finds out increase in strip thickness and Al% content of zinc coating leads to increase in gloss value, increase in coating mass leads to decrease in gloss value and gloss-line speed data gives a Gaussian curve where the gloss value reaches a maximum magnitude at about 100 m/min.

Red iron oxide which is produced by regeneration of waste hydrochloric acid from steel pickling line contains chloride. Chloride has negative effects on industrial productions which use red iron oxide as a raw material. This paper asserts red iron oxide particles have different chloride content according to their particle size. Regenerated red iron oxide was sampled from different production batches and these samples were grouped according to their particle size with sieving them from 1 mm to 75 µm. Sieved red iron oxide samples were analysed with spectrophotometer to determine chloride content. The study found out that chloride content slightly increased by increasing particle size up to 710 µm, after that size chloride content was drastically increased, such that, removing particles bigger than 1 mm from the iron oxide provides a 11,97 % reduction of the total chloride content and causes only 0,27 % loss from the total material.
