Mill Scale Removal
Mill scale is a layer of iron oxide that forms on the surface of hot rolled steel. It can affect the quality and performance of coatings, welds, and adhesives. Therefore, it is important to remove it before applying any surface treatment.
Mill scale (also called scale) is the flaky surface that forms on hot-rolled steel. Its composition includes FeO (iron(II) oxide), Fe2O3 (iron(III) oxide), and Fe3O4 (iron(II,III) oxide). You will find mill scaling on steel sheets, plates, and profiles
