A study of oxides formed on hot-rolled steel strip

Oxidation is one of the most pervasive problems in almost all metals and their alloys processing at elevated temperatures. Useful to experts and nonspecialists alike, this book keeps enabling a clear focus on the oxides formation, their deformation behaviour and properties during hot strip rolling process. The approaches to examination iron oxides, texture analysis via EBSD and the enthalpy-based numerical simulation, provide the effective frameworks for some investigation on the oxidation of the other steel compositions. A facile and controllable magnetite microstructure is proposed and can be applied to pickle-free steel with desired tribological properties in downstream metal processing. This study is an ideal tool to help you develop working understanding of oxide scale formed on the steel substrate.
