Abstract (en)

[origin: US5785773A] When cold strip is annealed, diffusion welds, so-called stickers, frequently form on the strip surface. In order to avoid these, the cold strip, above 600 DEG C. (holding time) is coated by oxidation with a thin surface film which prevents the sticking together. Below 600 DEG C., during the cooling phase, this surface film is removed again by reduction. In the case of a protective gas comprising a hydrogen content greater than 5%, remainder nitrogen, carbon dioxide is preferably added as oxidizing agent. The process is controlled via a defined oxygen partial pressure. The reduction is performed via the hydrogen.
