Magnetic shielding of grain-oriented silicon steel was investigated. Ball scribing with spacing of 2 to 16 mm was performed at peak flux densities of 8.0 mT to 1.3 T. Magnetic shielding efficiency was calculated, including absorption, reflection and inner multi-reflection shielding efficiencies. Magnetic shielding efficiency （MSE） increase ratios after different scribing spacing were compared, and thickness requirement to achieve absorption shielding of 50 dB was also calculated. The results show that magnetic shielding efficiencies of C711 and H668 silicon steels increase by 4.79 and 3.15 dB respectively after scribing of 16 mm. Before scribing, shielding efficiency of H668 steel was higher than that of C711 steel, while after scribing, both absorption and shielding efficiency gaps were largely abridged between C711 and H668 steels. Plate thickness of C711 steel could be reduced from 3.18 mm without scribing to 2. 20 mm after scribing of 16 mm. There is no apparent thickness reduction at lower flux densities; while the peak flux density is above 0.3 T, the shielding effect becomes apparent, and the thickness could be reduced from 2.28 mm without scribing to 1.70 mm with scribing spacing of 16 ram. Magnetizing process and its effect on variation of magnetic shielding were also analyzed.
Microstructural evolution and mechanical properties of cryogenic rolled Fe-36Ni steel were investigated. The annealed Fe-36Ni steel was rolled at cryogenic temperature（ 123-173 K） with 20%- 90% rolling reduction in thickness.The deformation process was accompanied by twinning at cryogenic temperature,and the mean thickness of deformation twins was about 200 nm with 20% rolling reduction. When the rolling reduction was above 40%,twinning was suppressed due to the stress concentration in the tested steel. Deformation microstructure of Fe-36Ni steel consisted of both twin boundaries and dislocations by cryogenic rolling（ CR）,while it only contained dislocations after rolling at room temperature（ RT）. The tensile strength of Fe-36Ni steel was improved to 930 MPa after 90% reduction at cryogenic temperature,while the tensile strength after 90% reduction at RT was only 760 MPa. More dislocations could be produced as the nucleation sites of recrystallization during CR process.

The thermal scratch significantly influences the surface quality of the stainless steel in cold strip rolling. The thermal scratch has a close relation to the rolling parameters, the rolls surface and the emulsions used in rolling. In order to explain the thermal scratch on the strip surface, the cold roiling process of SUS430 stainless steel strip was investigated in the laboratory. The thermal scratch defect occurs frequently in the second rolling pass （maximum reduction in height is 32.3 ~）, especially on the lower surface of strips. When concentration and temperature of the emulsion are the same, the thermal scratch on the surface o{ the strip is aggravated with increasing the roll surface roughness. With the same roll surface roughness and emulsion concentration, the thermal scratch is obviously more severe at an emulsion temperature of 63 ℃ than 55 ℃. With the same roll surface roughness and emulsion tempera- ture, the thermal scratch is distinctly weaker at the emulsion concentration of 6 % than that of 3 %.

In order to optimize the production process, improve the production efficiency and accelerate the development and application of the domestic dual-phase steel, the effects of heat treatment process parameters on microstructure and mechanical properties of DP440 cold rolled strip were studied by the CAS-300 simulated continuous annealing equipment. When the heating rate increased from 5 to 100 ℃/s, both the tensile strength and yield strength increased because of the decreased grain size. When the intercritical annealing temperature increased from 780 to 850 ℃, the martensite content decreased so that the tensile strength decreased first, then increased, and the yield strength increased. When the rapid cooling rate increased from 25 to 100 ℃/s, because the martensite content increased, the tensile strength increased, while the yield strength decreased. When the overaging temperature increased from 260 to 400 ℃, the tensile strength decreased, while the yield strength increased. When the overaging time increased from 240 to 480 s, the tensile strength decreased a little, while the yield strength increased a little.

The thermal scratch significantly influences the surface quality of the cold rolled stainless steel strip. In or der to establish a precise mathematical model of oil film thickness in deformation zone, the lubrication in cold rolling process of B443NT stainless steel strip was studied in the laboratory. According to the principle of statistics, a math- ematical model of critical oil film thickness in deformation zone for thermal scratch was built, with fitting and regres- sion analytical method, and then based on temperature comparison method, the criterion for deciding thermal scratch defect was put forward. Storing and calling data through SQI. Server 2005, a software on thermal scratch control was developed in the Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 environment by MFC technique for stainless steel in tandem cold roll- ing, and then it was used into the practical production. Statistical results demonstrated that the hit rate of thermal scratch arrives at 91.47%, the occurrence rate of thermal scratch is decreased by 87.81%, and rolling speed is in- creased by 7.3%. The developed software is of significance to the control of products quality of stainless steel strips, and the analysis and solution to the problem of thermal scratch defects in tandem cold rolling.
