Cleaning and descaling stainless steel
This publication will describe for designers, manufacturers and consumers various practices for cleaning stainless steel before, during and after fabrication. This includes methods for removing oxide scales resulting from hot-forming operations, thermal treatment, and welding and brazing; for removing free-iron contamination on stainless steel surfaces that may have been picked up from metalworking tools; for removing metal-forming lubricants and coolants; and for removing the general accumulation of dirt, grime, and surface stains that occur during normal storage, handling and fabrication.
