Objective
Pickling of hot rolled material is one of the important steps in steel sheet production. The sheets are often mechanically deformed before pickling so that the oxide-steel interface can be rapidly attacked. In this project the influence of pickled surface on cold rolling and on the cold rolled product as well as on zinc coating and on the zinc-coated product is investigated. For a few hot rolled steel qualities, the present situation is recorded by making use of pilot line experiments. At the same time, laboratory experiments will be performed in order to obtain a better knowledge of the parameters that play an important role on the characteristics of the pickled surface. These results are then incorporated in a new set of pilot line or plant experiments.
