Descaling

Description:

The descaling is a chemical and/or electrolytic process where surface impurities like stains, inorganic pollutants, heat tint from welding, slag from aluminum, copper and/or iron metals are removed through the use of strong acids.
Depending on the alloy and the sector where the product is addressed to, they are applied different rules which define as much to the paint stripper bath composition as to the conditions of use, that’s why particular industries set their own rules.

Applications:

The applications for descaling are varied. As it is mainly used in order to remove the metallic pollution on the surface, its use in industry is very interesting in order to make disappear the faults produced during the mechanization or manipulation, as well as to prepare the pieces for further processing: electropolishing, painting, silver plating, etc.

Look/ Appearance:

The obtained surface generally is less bright than the one provided by the previous material, unlike the electropolishing treatment, which strengthens the shine.
It produces a more or less intense satin effect as desired.
