While hot-rolled steel has many applications, there is residual scaling that is formed on the steel’s surface during the cooling process. This scale is mostly a by-product of the carbon in the steel. Some applications and manufacturing processes are incompatible with this scale and therefore pickling and oiling of the steel are required to create a more desirable working surface of the material.
Hot rolled pickled & oiled, also known as HRPO or HRP&O, steel is produced when hot rolled steel is immersed in an acid bath to remove the scale, a process known as pickling. After the pickling is complete, a layer of oil is applied to the steel’s surface to prevent rust formation or oxidization. Free of scale and oiled to prevent corrosion and the formation of rust, HRPO steel has a clean and smooth surface that can be used in a variety of applications.
Hot rolled pickled & oiled steel is popular for applications that benefit from its extended longevity in corrosive environments, or where material needs to run smoothly across plasma and laser cutting tables. Among the industries that use hot rolled pickled & oiled steel are manufacturers of the following:
As a hot rolled pickled & oiled supplier, Premium Steel Sales stocks a wide variety of hot rolled pickled & oiled steel products, including master coils, and pre-cut sheets & light plates in a wide range of thicknesses, widths, and grades. We can help you choose the ideal hot-rolled pickled & oiled steel for your application, based on the fabrication method and type of environment in which the steel will be used.
Hot Rolled Pickled Dry (HRPD) – In some applications, pickling is desired without adding a layer of oil and this is referred to as hot rolled pickled dry (HRPD). On occasion, a layer of dry lubrication is applied to protect the surface of the steel from oxidization even when oil is not applied.
