Abstract

A method of descaling rolled or cast metal strip, especially stainless steel or titanium-alloy steel strip in which the initial descaling is effected in a stretch-bend leveler and the annealing furnace directly follows the stretch-bend leveler and is directly followed by a pickling station so that any shot blast or brush descaler upstream of the annealing furnace is not required.
