Disclosed herein is a method for fabricating a wiring board in which a target substrate having via holes and/or trenches is subjected to an electroless plating process while being immersed in an electroless plating solution to fill the via holes and/or the trenches with a plating metal. The method includes the steps of: supplying the electroless plating solution to under the target substrate; diffusing an oxygen-containing gas into the electroless plating solution supplied under the target substrate; and allowing the electroless plating solution to overflow from over the target substrate.

The method comprises providing a rolled steel product, heating and annealing the rolled steel product for creating a layer of iron oxide on the surface of the rolled steel product, cooling the rolled steel product, having the iron oxide layer, in a first cooling step to a temperature in a temperature range of 560-600° C. and holding for 3-10 seconds, quenching said rolled steel product, covered with the layer of iron oxide, in a second cooling step by immersing it into a zinc bath comprising aluminium and having a temperature between 440-450° C. for 1-5 seconds and cooling the rolled steel product in a third cooling step to room temperature. An arrangement for implementing the method is also presented.

The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method of manufacturing a hot dipped galvanized steel sheet that is excellent in corrosion resistance and has no linear defects, thereby being available for automobile bodies, household appliances, construction materials, and the like which need aesthetic surfaces. The apparatus for manufacturing a hot dipped galvanized steel sheet includes: a plating pot filled with a galvanizing bath for coating of a steel sheet; a sink roll; a wiping device adjusting the thickness of the coating on the steel sheet; a top roll; an oxidation process chamber; and an air cooling device. According to the present invention, after an excess molten coating solution attached to the steel sheet is evenly removed, an oxide film is made to be 0.1 μm to 0.3 μm thick before a coating layer starts to solidify. Thus, linear defects can be prevented.
