Objective

The main objective of this research project is to define operating recommendations in order to improve the surface quality of steel grades recognised as difficult, for primary and secondary descaling, while saving energy and reducing operating costs, and perhaps allowing new rolling practices. Particular attention will be paid to scale-steel interface morphology, temperature path, thermo-mechanical stresses at the scale-metal interface, and thermo-hydraulic phenomena.
