Improved Surface Quality: Pickling removes mill scale and surface oxides, providing a clean and uniform surface for welding, painting, coating, and further processing.
Hot Rolled Pickled & Oiled Steel (HRPO) is produced by removing the oxide scale formed during hot rolling through an acid pickling process, followed by the application of a protective oil coating. This treatment provides a clean, scale-free surface and temporary corrosion protection during storage and transportation.
Positioned between conventional hot rolled steel and cold rolled steel, HRPO combines the strength and cost advantages of hot rolled steel with improved surface quality and processing performance. It is widely used in automotive components, home appliances, machinery, storage systems, steel structures, and industrial equipment requiring forming, welding, painting, or fabrication.
Through partnerships with leading steel mills worldwide, CUMIC supplies a comprehensive range of HRPO products to support efficient manufacturing, reliable performance, and optimized material costs.
