that low-carbon steel on its own does not have. These mechanical properties include high strength while still maintaining adequate toughness, weldability, ductility, and formability.[1–3] Because of this, the as-hot-rolled micro-alloyed steel without subsequent processing such as cold rolling has the potential to become an ideal candidate for a wide range of promising applications, particularly in automotive applications for fuel efficiency and weight saving.[4] Another promising potential for the Nb-V-Ti micro-alloyed steel lies in the tight oxide scale formed on the surface of the hot-rolled strip due to thermal oxidation at elevated temperatures.[5,6] Along with the steel substrate, the tight oxide scale is expected to deform without blistering failures and to further enhance the tribological properties of the as-hot-rolled steels during the downstream metal forming process.[7–9] This means that we need to further characterize the microstructural and crystallographic features of the oxide scale formed on the hot-coiled steel after coiling during hot rolling,[10,11] i.e., the tertiary oxide scale. The oxide scale formed in the particular case of hot rolling can generally be classified as the primary, secondary, and tertiary oxide scales, normally corresponding to the reheating stages, roughing stages
