Abstract: Method of reducing the formation of heat-induced folds on metal strips (1) exposed to rapid heating in continuous heat-treatment lines, in which lines said strips are caused to pass through heating sections (2) comprising successive and separate heating means (5; 5a; 5b; 5c; 5d), wherein the average slope of the increase in temperature of the strip between the inlet and the outlet of a heating means decreases from one heating means to the following heating means. In this way, the variation of the heating speed at all points on the strip is reduced as the temperature of the strip increases, such that the transversal compressive stresses do not exceed the critical level of fold formation.
