What is Pickled and Oiled Steel?

Pickled and Oiled is a specialized process in the steel industry designed to enhance both the appearance and performance of steel products. This process involves two key steps: pickling and oiling.

Pickling involves the removal of impurities, such as rust and scale, from the steel’s surface. This is achieved by immersing the steel in an acid bath, which dissolves these contaminants, leaving behind a clean surface.

Oiling is the subsequent step where a thin layer of oil is applied to the pickled steel. This layer acts as a protective barrier, preventing rust and corrosion.

The combination of pickling and oiling ensures a clean, smooth surface and provides long-lasting protection against corrosion, thereby enhancing the overall quality and lifespan of steel products. This process is commonly used for hot rolled pickled and oiled steel sheet, which benefits greatly from the enhanced properties.

By pickling and oiling steel, Farwest Steel ensures that our products provide optimal performance and durability for various applications. Whether you require hot rolled pickled and oiled steel sheet for automotive, construction, or other industries, our pickled and oiled steel is a reliable choice.
