Pickled And Oiled Steel

Hot rolled pickled and oiled steel is steel that has been descaled of an oxide film and oiled to help fight corrosion. During the pickling process, hot rolled steel is descaled in a hydrochloric acid bath. The scale-free surface benefits forming, bending, stamping, and painting both in production savings and the quality of the finished part. The pickling and oiling process produces hot rolled steel that is durable and has improved formability while providing a cleaner surface for painting with a limited barrier to rust formation.
