Objective The aim of this proposal is to improve understanding of the related effects of scale formation and surface decarburisation that arise from oxidation during steel reheating in order to meet increasingly stringent surface quality requirements and decarburisation specifications of general, special and high carbon steels. Laboratory measurements will be used to derive fundamental data related to scale formation and decarburisation under a range of conditions for incorporation into a predictive mathematical model. This model will be extended by pilot plant and works trials to accommodate changes in the oxidation kinetics arising from the effect of sample geometry on scale adhesion.
