Effect of Oxidation Agent on Pickling of 430 Stainless Steel

Abstract:

430 stainless steel is used as raw material and pickling in HCl-based electrolytes is adopted, and the effect of oxidation agent on removal behavior of the oxide layer on stainless steel is systematically studied; study found that the oxide layer of stainless steel after heat treatment in the lab is composed of iron oxide and chromium oxide, and outer oxide layer has dense structure while inner layer has multihole structure; with the increasing oxidation agent addition, corrosion potential of stainless steel after heat treatment increased; under 1.0% oxidation agent addtion condition, only few inner oxide remained and removal tendency of oxide layer is obvious when pickled for 200s; oxide on surface totally got removed, and a smooth surface obtained after pickled for 400s.
