About the Process

Pickling of steel is a process that removes any surface contamination from steel parts, leaving them clean and ready for plating or other coatings. Our metal and stainless steel pickling services ensure that your parts are free of any impurities that could compromise their performance or durability.

At Del's Plating Works, we use only the highest quality materials and the latest technology to ensure that your parts are coated to the highest standards of quality and performance. Contact us today to learn more about our metal pickling services and how they can benefit your industry.

Benefits of Metal Pickling

Elimination of Surface Contaminants

Pickling is a good way to get rid of oxides, mill scale, and other residues that are left over from hot working, welding, or heat treatment procedures.
It restores the structural and visual integrity of metal surfaces by cleaning them of corrosion.

Better Surface Quality

Pickling improves the metal's look by producing a clean, smooth surface.
Produces stronger and cleaner welds by eliminating impurities that could obstruct welding.
Offers a perfect foundation for painting, plating, galvanizing, or coatings, guaranteeing improved durability and adhesion.

Improved Metal Efficiency

By removing oxidation-related flaws, pickling returns the metal to its original mechanical and chemical characteristics.
Extends the life of the metal by eliminating elements that could hasten corrosion.

Allows for Additional Processing

When cutting, shaping, or performing other machining operations, clean surfaces increase precision and lessen tool wear.
Pre-cleaning the metal enables more reliable outcomes in later procedures.

MIL-SPEC Coatings

We provide metal finishing services for most MIL-SPEC coatings. All finished parts are inspected by our quality control center to make sure the highest standards are met.
