Abstract

A method and process line for producing cold-rolled stainless-steel or titanium-alloy strip from hot-rolled strip descales the hot-rolled strip by shot-blasting and/or brush-polishing and then cold-rolls the descaled strip. The cold-rolled strip, at its final thickness, is annealed and then pickled, all in a single continuous line.
