Weld Descale

Descaling is the removal of heavy, tightly adherent oxide films resulting from hot-forming, heat-treatment, welding, and other high-temperature operations. Weld descaling is performed prior to passivation.

Pickling

Pickling removes metallic contamination and welding and heat-treating scales. Etching promotes surface adhesion.

Vapor & Aqueous Degreasing

Vapor & aqueous degreasing is a cleaning process that employs hot vapors of a volatile chlorinated solvent to remove contaminants, and is particularly effective against oils, waxes, and greases.

Baking

The baking process is used to prevent hydrogen embrittlement. This is a monitored process and is customer specified.
