Abstract To clarify the oxide scale thickness and structure of hot rolled structural steel and the effect on pickling quality, two hot rolling processes called “High Temperature and Low Cooling Speed (HT-LCS)” and “Low Temperature and High Cooling Speed (LT-HCS)” were designed in this work. The preparation of hot rolled structural steel was carried out accordingly. Oxide scale thickness and structure in the transverse direction of hot rolled strip under different hot rolling processes and its surface morphology after pickling were analyzed by OM and SEM. On the basis of oxide scale thickness and structure difference, the pickling effects and causes of color difference defect after pickling were discussed. The results show that the oxide scale for both designed hot rolling processes is composed of outer Fe3O4 layer and low-temperature transformation structure of FeO located inside of oxide scale. Because of uneven distribution of temperature field during rolling process and after coiling, the thickness of oxide scale at the edge of strip is small and structure is compact, and the content of Fe3O4 at the edge of strip is more than that in the middle. On the other side, oxide scale is thick and porous in the middle of strip, and the transformation of FeO at low temperature is more sufficient than in the edge area. The transverse uniformity of oxide scale, including oxide scale thickness and structure distribution, was poor under HT-LCS process. Specifically, the thickness difference of oxide scale between edge and middle area of strip was 4.7 μm,and the thickness difference of Fe3O4 was up to 2.5 μm. However, the transverse uniformity of oxide scale was much better under LT-HCS process. The thickness difference of oxide scale between edge and middle area was 2.5 μm,which was reduced by 46.81% compared with that of HT-LCS process, and the thickness difference of Fe3O4 layer was 0.2 μm, which was only 8.0% of the former. The transverse uneven distribution of thickness and structure for oxide scale are the main inducement to defect of “pickled dark strip”. Eutectoid structure (α-Fe+Fe3O4) is loose and porous, and its pickling process is carried out in the way of “stripping”, which is more efficient in pickling. The parts of strip that are preferentially pickled will be continuously immersed in the acid solution, resulting in a large number of “erosion cracks” on the strip surface, and lead to a “color difference” finally. Optimizing the oxide scale distribution, adjusting the proportion of Fe3O4 and eutectoid structure in oxide scale are important to optimize production process and improve the pickling quality.
