Application Research of Anti-Oxidation Coating on High-Carbon High-Manganese Steel

Steel manufacturers have been paying more attentions to burning loss prevention to increase yield rate and lower cost for the last decade. For high carbon content steel, the application of anti-oxidation coating is a truly effective way, but various coatings matter totally different. Some experimental practices have been done and the most appropriate coatings for hign carbon steel have been confirmed. So the detailed burning loss performance experiments in one hot rolling plant in Baosteel Special Metals Co, Ltd of two anti-oxidation coatings have been successfully discussed and analyzed. The results shows the original burning loss percent without billets-coating stays at 1.705%, and the two anti-oxidation coatings do significantly decrease the burning loss, with coating TL0001 lowering the loss percent to 1.24% whereas coating TL0002 to 0.20%. As a result, the application of coating TL0002 will bring a huge economic benefit of 135.20 RMB per ton
