Objective Transverse flux induction heating is a very efficient electrical technique able to anneal thin metal strips within a few seconds, thus opening new perspectives for more compact and flexible continuous coil treatment lines. However, the relevant properties, such as ductility and deep drawability, are expected to be strongly modified when ultra rapid heat treatment is applied to standard stainless steel grades.The aim of this research work is to obtain new and improved deep drawing properties of the most widely used stainless steel grades processed by ultra rapid heating treatment, so as to verify and assess the high potential and limits of application of this innovative process.
