Page 2. BUYER SELECTION Choosing a surface treatment YIYI Mesh Belt www.yiyimeshbelt.com www.yiyimeshbelts.com 02 / 08 Pickling Removes scale and heat tint from stainless steel fabrication. The resulting appearance may be matt or less reflective. Electropolishing Uses electrochemical metal removal to reduce micro-roughness. Can produce a smoother, brighter surface and improve cleanability. Select by material, application and cleaning conditions. Agree a finish sample when appearance is important. YIYI Mesh Belt
Page 3. PROCESS BASICS Pickling and passivation YIYI Mesh Belt www.yiyimeshbelt.com www.yiyimeshbelts.com 03 / 08 Pickling Removes heat-related oxides and the chromium-depleted layer beneath them. Passivation Targets surface contamination such as free iron and supports the passive film. It is a separate treatment concept. Confirm the required treatment sequence and final rinsing requirements.
