Abstract

The hydrochloric acid pickling process which is widely applied in carbon steel pickling ensures high speeds with little pollution. In this research, hydrochloric acid pickling process was introduced into stainless steel pickling to improve the surface integrity. Research indicated that the impedance spectrum obtained from 430SS in HCl solution consisted of a capacitive loop at high frequencies and an inductive loop at low frequencies. As the concentration of hydrochloric acid rose, the radiuses of the capacitive loop decreased.And the corrosion potential of 430SS in hydrochloric acid solution moved to positive direction with band to a narrow 0.1V.And high HCl concentration more markedly influenced the charge-transfer resistance.
