Galvanizing plant

2002

What is the best way to ensure proper cleaning of the soft annealed wires used in galvanizing plants? Could poor pickling result in a golden brown finishing? Please, I will appreciate more information about pickling.

When you mean the wire you use to hang the material to be galvanized I do not understand your question, because this wire will be cleaned much faster than the material to be galvanized. What has a golden brown finish? When the problem is clear, I can help you.
