Sheet Pickling Line

Steel pickling refers to a treatment that is used to remove impurities, rust, and scale from the surface of a material. During hot working processes, an oxide layer (referred to as “scale”, due to the scaly nature of its appearance) develops on the surface of the metal.Coil to Coil Pickling lines are a part of the finishing process of flat rolled steel in which oxides and scale are removed from the surface of the strip by dissolution in acid. Generally HCL is used for carbon steel applications and hydrofluoric or nitric acids are used for stainless steel.
