RETRACTED ARTICLE: Effect of cooling process on reducing residual stress of hot rolled high strength strip

Abstract

We, the Editors and Publisher of the journal Ironmaking & Steelmaking, have retracted the following article:

Xiao-li Tian, Jie Guo. Effect of cooling process on reducing residual stress of hot rolled high strength strip. Ironmaking & Steelmaking. 2021. doi:10.1080/03019233.2022.2049584

Since publication, concerns have been raised by the authors about the integrity of the data in the article. The authors checked their data and confirmed there are fundamental errors present. Therefore, they have agreed to the retraction of this article.

The authors also acknowledge that Table 1 is identical to Table 1 of the following paper:Zengshuai Qiu, Anrui He, Jian Shao, Xiaoming Xia, “Reduction of Residual Stress for High-Strength Low-Alloy Steel Strip Based on Finite Element Analysis”, Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, vol. 2018, Article ID 8131909, 13 pages, 2018.
