PICKLED & OILED STEEL

Pickled and Oiled Steel: The Ideal Fusion of Protection and Workability

Pickled and oiled steel is a unique product in the steel manufacturing industry. It involves taking hot- rolled steel and running it through a descaling process, known as pickling, followed by an application of oil. This process enhances the steel’s surface quality, protection, and workability.

Key Features and Benefits

Improved Surface Condition: The pickling process removes the scale that forms on the surface during hot rolling, resulting in a cleaner and smoother finish.

Enhanced Workability: The application of oil after pickling reduces the risk of rusting and makes the steel easier to handle and work with.

Corrosion Resistance: Oil acts as a protective layer, shielding the steel from moisture and oxidation.

Better Paint Adherence: The clean surface is ideal for applications that require painting, as it ensures better adhesion and finish.

Applications of Pickled and Oiled Steel

1. Automotive Industry: Used in the manufacturing of car parts that require painting, such as body panels.

2. Metal Stampings: Ideal for parts that require a high-quality surface finish for further processing.

3. Fabrication: Used in applications where steel is welded, punched, or bent.

4. Construction: Employed in various construction materials where a clean and rust-free surface is necessary.

Caring for Pickled and Oiled Steel

Storage in a dry, moisture-free environment is recommended to maintain the quality and lifespan of the material.

Handling should minimize direct contact with the surface to preserve the oil layer.
