Abstract
The mechanical adhesion of thermally-formed oxide scales formed on industrial hot-rolled low carbon steel strips produced through the blast-furnace route (conventional steel) or the electric-arc-furnace route (recycled steel) was studied. A new macro-tensile test was compared to a micro-tensile test previously used. It was observed that spallation of scales during straining increased with increasing the tensile strain rate. A higher strain rate resulted in a lower strain inducing the first spallation. As a result, the mechanical adhesion energy of scales actually formed on the recycled steel was in the range 300–700 J m−2. Comparison at the same strain rate of the conventional and recycled steels showed higher scale adhesion for the recycled steel due to the presence of high amounts of interfacial silica.
