Pickled Steel

Pickling is a metal surface treatment process that utilizes acids to remove oxide layers and impurities from steel surfaces. This enhances the steel’s surface quality, improving its paint adhesion and welding capabilities.It is widely used in various industries, such as automotive and construction, to ensure high-quality material performance.

Hot rolled flat products made of high yield strength steels for cold forming

Special steels produced by combining controlled rolling with heat treatment. It enhances their strength and ductility, making them ideal for various demanding applications. The key advantage is the improved mechanical properties achieved through microstructural control, which results in a more efficient and cost-effective material suitable for industries like construction and automotive.
