1. Preliminary Annealing: During the preliminary annealing process, a scale which may have formed on the hot rolled steel is removed as delayed passing through scale breaker and a hydrochloric acid bath. This initial heat treatment process improves the cold rolling properties of steel as well as its magnetic properties.
2. Cold Rolling: In order to obtain specific thickness and material properties, a reduction ratio of 40-90% is applied normally. Rolling and edge trimming machines are automatically controlled to obtain uniform thickness and width.
