Descaling
Steel
Descaling is the process of removing scale from the surface of steel. This scale forms most readily when the steel is hot and blended with oxygen and iron. Common methods are to either crack the scale by use of roughened rolls and remove by a forceful water spray or to throw salt or wet sand on the steel just previous to its passage through the rolls.
