Electrolytic Cleaning

the main purpose of Electrolytic cleaning is to be remove in the lubricant oil and dirts left on the cold rolled strip before annealing.

Annealing

To obtain the desired grain structure and to improve the mechanical properties, the strip is passed through the (continuous annealing line) furnace, heating, soaking and cooling sections.

SPM

In order to improve the mechanical properties, suppress yield point elongation strip shape correction to secure the flat shape, is to be obtain desired roughness, the steel sheet should be passed through a skin pass mill.

Inspection

The equipment at the exit section are composed surface defect detector, Inspection table and oiler equipment. The products are inspected as well as judged systematically, and whether such products are appropriate to a client company or not.

Surface Finish and Oiling

Surface Finish

Classification Specification
Dull Finish Dull finish, which is attained by attaching numerous fine grains
onto the steel surface, is often called 'pear-skin finish' or 'egg-shell texture'.
The grains are made by electro discharge texturing machine. The
dull finish is usefull in drawing because lubricant oil can be
evenly spread over the entire surface, thereby reducing the
possibility of friction. The fine grains also help to boost paint
adherence and extend the steel life span of the steel.
Dull Finish Ra (μm)
E3 E5 E7 E9
1.50~2.50 1.00~1.80 0.70~1.30 0.40~0.80

Oiling

It is recommended that customers use product promptly to avoid the possibilities of rusting during storage or shipment Customer can choose kind of oil and quantity. Oiling improves corrosion resistance but cannot be the perfect way to protect steel from rust. Also, non-oiled and DOS oiled products are easy to rusting so, POSCO Maharashtra strongly recommends to apply general oil and use the product as soon as possible.
