Processing Lines (Annealing)
The
demand for better annealed stainless steel has increased. Annealing is
heat treating process conducted under controlled atmosphere furnace to
minimize oxidation, so that the product surface remains clean. It is
very common for continuous annealing of strip products and stainless
steels.

Annealing And Pickling For Stainless Steel
The
heat treatment has to be specific in annealing and pickling line to
find the best compromise between strength and ductility without
neglecting the surface finish. Annealing and pickling lines (APL's) are
used for the treatment of hot rolled (HR) and cold rolled (CR)
stainless steel strips.
HR Austenitic and
CR Strip is annealed and pickled continuously in an APL and HR ferric
strip is only pickled. Lines for HR and CR, as well as dedicated APL's
process the majority of the stainless steel production.
