Metal Pickling

At Electro-Max we offer the best form of metal Pickling the industry has to offer. Our metal pickling process involves several steps to pretreat the weld prior to actually performing the pickling process. This pretreating of the weld removes any residue, foreign substances, markings, dyes, rust, grease or oil. Each step of pretreating uses a different type of cleaning agent such as solvent cleaners, vapor degreasers, etc. Pre-cleaning is not required for all applications but is highly recommended for most as etching promotes surface adhesion on the metal.

Pickling is known throughout the industry as stainless steel passivation or electropolishing of the welded material. This process ultimately performs a cleaning feature that involves the actual chemical descaling of the article. In the end, the entire procedure of metal pickling removes metallic contamination and welding and heat-treating scales.
