Steel. Some Surface Treatments – PART 1
Hot-processing operations such as forging, rolling, welding, and heat treatment generate surface oxidation on carbon steels, alloy steels, and stainless steels. This oxidation layer, commonly known as āscaleā or āmill scaleā, must be removed because it can create problems during stamping and drawing operations. The presence of scale may compromise the corrosion resistance of the […]
