Abstract

The invention provides hot-rolled steel strips which, after having been acid-pickled, can be directly used. The strips have no Cr-decreasing layer and no shot blasted marks on their surface and have good corrosion resistance. The invention also provides a technique of efficiently producing the hot-rolled steel strips. A steel slab having a Cr content of from 6.0 to 25.0 wt. % is hot-rolled, then coiled at a temperature not higher than 700.degree. C., then optionally quenched in water immediately after the coiling, then annealing in a reducing atmosphere, and thereafter acid-pickled in a solution of nitric acid/hydrochloric acid.
