First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A pass roll for a hot-dip galvanized steel sheet manufacturing facility, the pass roll comprising: a roll body; and a heat-resistant felt layer covering the roll body, wherein the heat-resistant felt layer is in direct contact with a surface of the roll body and has a thermal decomposition temperature of 420° C. or higher and has a surface hardness evaluation index at 400° C. of more than 0.11 μm/N and 100 μm/N or less. 2. The pass roll for the hot-dip galvanized steel sheet manufacturing facility according to claim 1 , wherein the heat-resistant felt layer is in contact with a surface of the roll body. 3. The pass roll for the hot-dip galvanized steel sheet manufacturing facility according to claim 2 , wherein the heat-resistant felt layer is made of polyparaphenylene benzobisoxazole fibers. 4. The pass roll for the hot-dip galvanized steel sheet manufacturing facility according to claim 3 , wherein a thickness of the heat-resistant felt layer is 1 to 20 mm. 5. The pass roll for the hot-dip galvanized steel sheet manufacturing facility according to claim 2 , wherein a thickness of the heat-resistant felt layer is 1 to 20 mm. 6. The pass roll for the hot-dip galvanized steel sheet manufacturing facility according to claim 1 , wherein the heat-resistant felt layer is made of polyparaphenylene benzobisoxazole fibers. 7. The pass roll for the hot-dip galvanized steel sheet manufacturing facility according to claim 6 , wherein a thickness of the heat-resistant felt layer is 1 to 20 mm. 8. The pass roll for the hot-dip galvanized steel sheet manufacturing facility according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the heat-resistant felt layer is 1 to 20 mm. 9. A hot-dip galvanized steel sheet manufacturing facility, wherein the pass roll according to claim 1 is a roll configured to pass a steel strip subjected to hot-dip galvanizing in a galvanizing bath. 10. A hot-dip galvanized steel sheet manufacturing method for manufacturing a hot-dip galvanized steel sheet by immersing a steel strip in a galvanizing bath on a steel sheet manufacturing line, wherein the hot-dip galvanized steel sheet is manufactured by using a pass roll according to claim 1 which is configured to pass the steel strip subjected to hot-dip galvanizing in the galvanizing bath, the pass roll comprising a roll body covered with a heat-resistant felt layer, the heat-resistant felt layer being in direct contact with a surface of the roll body and having a thermal decomposition temperature of 420° C. or higher and having a surface hardness evaluation index at 400° C. of more than 0.11 μm/N and 100 μm/N or less. 11. The hot-dip galvanized steel sheet manufacturing method according to claim 10 , wherein the heat-resistant felt layer is in contact with a surface of the roll body. 12. The hot-dip galvanized steel sheet manufacturing method according to claim 10 , wherein the heat-resistant felt layer is made of polyparaphenylene benzobisoxazole fibers. 13. The hot-dip galvanized steel sheet manufacturing method according to claim 10 , wherein a thickness of the heat-resistant felt layer is 1 to 20 mm. 14. A hot-dip galvanized steel sheet manufacturing facility, wherein the pass roll according to claim 2 is a roll configured to pass a steel strip subjected to hot-dip galvanizing in a galvanizing bath. 15. A hot-dip galvanized steel sheet manufacturing facility, wherein the pass roll according to claim 6 is a roll configured to pass a steel strip subjected to hot-dip galvanizing in a galvanizing bath. 16. A hot-dip galvanized steel sheet manufacturing facility, wherein the pass roll according to claim 8 is a roll configured to pass a steel strip subjected to hot-dip galvanizing in a galvanizing bath. 17. A hot-dip galvanized steel sheet manufacturing facility, wherein the pass roll according to claim 3 is a roll configured to pass a steel strip subjected to hot-dip galvanizing in a galvanizing bath. 18. A hot-dip galvanized steel sheet manufacturing facility, wherein the pass roll according to claim 5 is a roll configured to pass a steel strip subjected to hot-dip galvanizing in a galvanizing bath. 19. A hot-dip galvanized steel sheet manufacturing facility, wherein the pass roll according to claim 7 is a roll configured to pass a steel strip subjected to hot-dip galvanizing in a galvanizing bath. 20. A hot-dip galvanized steel sheet manufacturing facility, wherein the pass roll according to claim 4 is a roll configured to pass a steel strip subjected to hot-dip galvanizing in a galvanizing bath.
