Abstract

The oxide scale is an important matter affecting the surface quality of steel, which seriously restricts the application of hot rolled steel in high-end manufacturing. However, there is still a lack of comprehensive reports on the applied control technology for the formed oxide scale on the steel during rolling process. Herewith, the applied control technology for iron oxide scale and relevant mechanism are introduced in terms of mechanical descaling for rolled steel, red iron oxide scale (red rust) on steel surface, anti-corrosive iron oxide scale on hot rolled steel, galvanization of hot rolled steel without pre-pickling, and friction and wear resistance of iron oxide scale etc. By taking the current market demand and the existing control technology into consideration, the main development direction of future research on the applied control technology for the iron oxide scale on hot rolled steel is introduced.

Key words: steel oxidation quadruple oxide scale structure evolution application control technology
