Characterization of Brown Color Pigment ..

During the hot rolling process, oxygen from the surrounding atmosphere reacts with the surface of the hot rolled steel and thus resulting in the formation of an oxide layer called scale. These scale and impurities need to be removed to improve the quality and overall strength of the steel. In the...
