  • Method of producing low carbon tin-mill gage steel without annealing border
    Patent number: 4069070
    Abstract: The discoloration or off-luster border area called "annealing border" which frequently forms on low carbon tin-mill gage steel coils during box annealing in commercial HNX atmospheres is prevented from forming by providing the steel with less than 0.25 wt. %, and preferably less than 0.20 wt. % free manganese in solid solution.

  • Method for improving the surface quality of annealed steel strip
    Patent number: 4069069
    Abstract: The discoloration or off-luster border area known as "annealing border", which may form on low-carbon steel strip during box annealing of coils in commercial HNX atmospheres is eliminated by (a) subjecting the strip to oxidizing conditions such that the coil edges undergo a weight gain of 0.08 to 0.8 mg/cm.sup.2 of strip surface and (b) reducing the so-formed oxide during box annealing.
