An overview of mechanical descaling

$15.00

The basic raw material for a wire mill is a hot rolled rod. All hot rolled carbon steel rods are covered with the well known high temperature iron oxides called scale. The amont of scale on rod surfaces varies with different types of rolling mills. The surface roughness of the steel surface under the scale varies with the amount of scale.
