摘要
The oxide-scale structure developed on commercial hot-rolled steel str ip at the mid-coil position was examined. The initial oxide scale after rolling and cooling on the run-out table had a three-layer (hematite, magnetite, and wustite) structure; the thickness was found to be a function of the finishing temperature. From this initial structure, various final scale structures developed after coiling, depending on the coiling temperature, oxygen availability, and cooling rate. For relatively low coiling temperatures (e.g., at 520 degreesC), the final scale structure comprised an inner magnetite/iron mixture layer, an outer magnetite layer, and at regions away from the center, a very thin outermost hematite layer. For higher coiling temperatures (e.g., in the range of 610 to 720 degreesC), a two-layer hematite/magnetite structure was observed at the edge regions, whereas at the center regions, these two layers were absent and the entire scale layer comprised a mixture of the wustite-transformation products, i.e., a mixture of proeutectoid magnetite, magnetite + ir on eutectoid, and a certain amount of retained wustite. At regions between the edges and the center, the oxide structures were similar to those developed at low coiling temperatures (<570<degrees>C), i.e., an inner layer comprising a mixture of the wustite-transformation products, an inter mediate magnetite layer and at regions near the edges, an outermost hematite layer. In addition, two distinct structures were observed on strips with a coiling temperature of 720 degreesC. One structure comprised a very thick hematite layer (3-5 mum) formed near the edges (within 20-20 mm from the edges), while the other structure comprised a substantial amount of retained wustite formed at the center regions. The formation mechanisms of various oxide scale structures are discussed.
