Pickling of carbon steels

Chemical pickling removes oxides and scale from carbon steels using an acid process. The chemical pickling of carbon steels guarantees a restoration of the treated surfaces, in order to preserve their longevity and their resistance.

Carbon steel, as its name suggests, has a higher proportion of carbon. It is thus particularly exposed to corrosion and deterioration of its surface. It is important to preserve its properties and its resistance with appropriate cleanliness.

What techniques to pickle carbon steels?

This cleanliness operation of carbon steels is carried out by immersion in our workshops.
The stripping operation of the networks at our customers is carried out by circulation inside the networks, by sprinkling, spraying or runoff in the capacities.

Carbon steels can then be treated by neuro-passivation, to remove residual surface acidity and initiate passive conversion of the metal.
