A light pass given to annealed cold rolled strip to prevent the formation of kinks and stretcher strain markings on subsequent cold working. 4, record 1, English, - skin%20pass
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
Subsequent to the annealing process, coils of cold rolled steel often require a final temper pass or skin pass rolling step. This involves a controlled light reduction to establish the final thickness, impart the desired surface finish, control strip shape, and obtain the required hardness of the material. 3, record 1, English, - skin%20pass
