Developed for stainless, acid resistant steel and duplex.
Used for pickling of heat treated and welded stainless steel constructions in pickling baths. (s.c. dip pickling). At pickling the annealing scales and/or welding oxides are removed from the surface of the stainless steel. After pickling and ample rinsing with water (high pressure) the corrosion resistance is restored in the welded area.
TACAB standard pickling bath is sold in the following sizes of packages: 20 ,200, 800 and 1000 litres. For larger volumes ask for quotation.
Pickling times att 20 ºC:
Stainless steel
30-60 minutes depending of welding method
Acid resistant steel
40-90 minutes depending of welding method
Duplex
60-120 minutes depending of welding method
Lean duplex
75-150 minutes depending of welding method
Note: At higher temperatures this pickling bath can pickle higher alloyed steel grades as higher temperaures improves the efficiency. Higher temperatures = shorter pickling times.
