Scale formation during the reheating and rolling operations results in a loss of material, adversely affect the material quality and require further processing. This BFI research focuses on developing a thorough understanding of the scale formation mechanisms by conducting laboratory and field tests. Based on the findings a model based control system for temperature and furnace atmosphere are to be developed to reduce scale formation.
