High-strength steel technology at Galvatech 2026 in Mexico
Galvatech brings together professionals from across the industry to share knowledge and expertise in the research, development, and production of galvanized and coated steel sheet products.
Delegates will explore the latest advancements in hot-dip galvanizing and process technologies, with two presentations from Fives experts on October 12, 2026:
- “Application of Flash Annealing Process to Produce Galvanized Product: Metallurgical Perspectives and Strip Oxidation Management” by David Barbier, Metallurgical Expert at Fives Stein, a Fives’ subsidiary specializing in metallurgy and thermal technologies. The presentation will explore how flash annealing could transform galvanized coil production by enabling faster and more flexible processing, higher productivity, and improved mechanical properties.
- “Evaluating Thermal Efficiency and Available Heat in Radiant Tube Systems with Flue Gas Recirculation and Heat Recovery” by Dennis Quinn, Director of Steel Products Business Development at Fives North American Combustion, a Fives’ subsidiary specializing in combustion systems for different industries.
Our team will also welcome delegates at Fives table #2 at Airó Events, where visitors can discover our solutions for the steel industry, including NeoKoil® and combustion systems for processing lines.
NeoKoil® annealing and galvanizing lines meet the demanding requirements of AHSS and UHSS:
- Diverse grade range production
- Technology for multiple coating types
- Quality and process fine tuning
- Safety for operators and equipment
Advanced combustion systems can improve the efficiency and performance of processing lines while lowering fuel costs. By optimizing combustion performance, manufacturers can reduce NOx emissions, improve temperature uniformity, and extend the service life of radiant tubes. The North American 4830 Evenglow™ burner is designed to deliver reliable, uniform heating for processing applications, helping manufacturers enhance product quality and operational efficiency.
Galvatech attendees will also have the opportunity to join a technical tour of Ternium Mexico, offering firsthand insight into state-of-the-art steelmaking and coating operations.
