What is the best water composition in Pickling Baths for Hot-dip Galvanizing?
+++++++ We are installing a new hot-dip galvanizing plant.We are gonna fill up the water into pickling baths(degreasing, HCl Acid etc.)Surely water chemical composition affects the surface quality directly.Are there any suggestions for this case?We need chemical composition of water before filling up.Therefore,according to this data we will buy water or provide.In Brief,we have water in our plant.We will compare with our water chemical composition and water you have suggested.If our water is not suitable we will provide your suggested water. Hakan Esen, Material Engineer(BSc.) galvanizing plant manager Bursa, Turkey +++++++ Unless your water is grossly contaminated, then mains (town supply) water is usually adequate. Pickle chemistry is not so critical that a little variation is water quality will have any noticeable effect.
