L
Lamination (a.k.a. Segregation or Piping)
Defect caused
by the presence of
internal blisters, seams or inclusions. Harmful to structural integrity; could cause
steel fracturing.
Lap Weld
Coil ends are "lapped" over one another
and welded or stitched for
production purposes. As a result, the thickness of the steel is doubled at the weld
area.
Line Stop
Referring
to coated steels, an area of a coil where the coating line was
halted. This region is usually characterized by irregular and questionable coating
integrity.
Loose Wrap
A coil that is not wound tight due to insufficient tension when winding.
Lüders Lines
Elongated surface markings or depressions appearing in
patterns
caused by localized plastic deformation that results from a discontinuous yield and
resulting yield point elongation.
M
Mark, Arbor
Surface damage at/near coil ID caused by roughened,
damaged or
non-circular arbor.
Mark, Bite
Lines which are generally perpendicular to the rolling direction, caused
by the leading end of the metal entering the leveling rolls resulting in minor surface
disruptions. These disruptions then transfer to the surface
of the rolled metal in
subsequent rotations.
