The textures of oxide scales grown on low carbon steel in air over the temperature range 850-950 degrees C were investigated. The low carbon steel was oxidized with the air velocity of 4.2 cm/s for 10 s in order to approximate the formation of tertiary scales in hot rolling. At 850 degrees C, the wustite texture and magnetite texture are weak with no dominant components. For the temperatures of 900 and 950 degrees C, the wustite and magnetite phases have a cube texture (001)< 100 >. The experimental results indicate that during hot rolling in the gamma region, the texture of the oxide scale is cubic and when rolling in the a region, the texture of the oxide scale is weak with no dominant components.
