WHAT DOES MILLSCALE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Mill scale

Mill scale, often shortened to just scale, is the flaky surface of hot rolled steel, iron oxides consisting of iron oxide, iron oxide, and iron oxide. Mill scale is formed on the outer surfaces of plates, sheets or profiles when they are being produced by rolling red hot iron or steel billets in rolling mills. Mill scale is composed of iron oxides mostly ferric and is bluish black in color. It is usually less than 1 mm thick and initially adheres to the steel surface and protects it from atmospheric corrosion provided no break occurs in this coating. Because it is electro-chemically cathodic to steel, any break in the mill scale coating will cause accelerated corrosion of steel exposed at the break. Mill scale is thus a boon for a while until its coating breaks due to handling of the steel product or due to any other mechanical cause. Mill scale is a nuisance when the steel is to be processed. Any paint applied over it is wasted since it will come off with the scale as moisture laden air get under it. Thus mill scale can be removed from steel surfaces by flame cleaning, pickling, or abrasive blasting, which are all tedious operations that waste energy.

Definition of millscale in the English dictionary

The definition of millscale in the dictionary is a scale or coating of iron oxide that forms on heated iron or steel on contact with air.
