Pickling is a metal surface treatment used to remove impurities, such as stains, inorganic contaminants, and rust or scale from ferrous metals, copper, precious metals and aluminium alloys. [1] A solution called pickle liquor , which usually contains acid , is used to remove the surface impurities.
The commercially most relevant field of application for HCl regeneration processes is the recovery of HCl from waste pickle liquors from carbon-steel pickling lines. Other applications include the production of metal oxides such as, but not limited, to Al 2 O 3 and MgO, as well as rare-earth oxides, by pyrohydrolysis of aqueous metal chloride or rare-earth chloride solutions.
Eco pickled surface (EPS) is a process applied to hot rolled sheet steel to remove all surface oxides and clean the steel surface.Steel which has undergone the EPS process acquires a high degree of resistance to subsequent development of surface oxide (rust), so long as it does not come into direct contact with moisture.
Worthington Steel is a publicly traded (NYSE:WS) steel processing company headquartered in Columbus, Ohio.Worthington Steel is an independent, intermediate processor of carbon flat-rolled steel in the United States, purchasing steel from integrated steel mills and mini-mills and custom processing it in areas such as type, length, width, thickness, shape and surface quality.

[25] [7] Technical quality HCl at typically 18% concentration is the most commonly used pickling agent for the pickling of carbon steel grades. Fe 3 O 4 + Fe + 8 HCl → 4 FeCl 2 + 4 H 2 O The spent acid has long been reused as iron(II) chloride (also known as ferrous chloride) solutions, but high heavy-metal levels in the pickling liquor have ...
Hydrogen embrittles a variety of metals including steel, [19] [20] aluminium (at high temperatures only [21]), and titanium. [22] Austempered iron is also susceptible, though austempered steel (and possibly other austempered metals) displays increased resistance to hydrogen embrittlement. [23]
Carbon steel is a steel with carbon content from about 0.05 up to 2.1 percent by weight. The definition of carbon steel from the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) states: no minimum content is specified or required for chromium , cobalt , molybdenum , nickel , niobium , titanium , tungsten , vanadium , zirconium , or any other element to ...
The steel is pickled in an acidic solution to remove mill scale. The pickling solution is rinsed off. A flux, often zinc ammonium chloride is applied to the steel to inhibit oxidation of the cleaned surface upon exposure to air. The flux is allowed to dry on the steel and aids in the process of the liquid zinc wetting and adhering to the steel.
