[0002] Mild steel is a carbon steel with carbon content less than 0.25%. It is also called soft steel due to its low strength and low hardness. It includes most ordinary carbon structural steel and part of high-quality carbon structural steel, most of which are used for engineering structural parts without heat treatment, and some of which are used for mechanical parts requiring wear resistance after carburizing and other heat treatment.

[0003] However, at present, in the production process of hot continuous rolling of low carbon steel, the surface of the strip steel often appears pitted scale defects that affect the use of downstream customers. Pitted scale appears in hot rolling strip steel production, which is caused by the crushing and pressing of the third oxide on the surface of the strip steel before the finishing mill. The formation mechanism of the pitted scale is: when the surface of the work roll is smooth, no pitted scale will be produced; when the surface of the work roll is rough and the scale on the surface of the strip steel is thick, pitted scale will appear, at this time, the broken scale is in the form of sheet and is discontinuous between each other, which will not deform with the steel matrix after subsequent rolling, forming defects. How to effectively control the pitted scale defects on the surface of hot continuous rolling of low carbon steel has become a technical problem to be solved in the field. SUMMARY

[0015] 7) the target value of the finishing temperature is controlled in 750-900℃,

[0016] 8) the cycle of the high speed steel work roll is controlled in 2-6 cycles;

[0017] 9) avoiding the high speed steel work roll in the same batch being in the end period.

[0018] Further, in step 4), the proportion of the oil-water mixture in the hot rolling oil manifold is controlled, and the volume percentage of the oil in the oil-water mixture is controlled in 5‰-45‰.

[0019] Further, in step 8), the cycle of the high speed steel work roll of F1-F3 is controlled in 3-6 cycles.
