Highly engineered Alloy Engineering 625 alloy pickling hooks provide at least 20 times the life of carbon steel hooks in the unpredictable and highly corrosive environment of HCl-based wire-coil pickling lines.
They ensure a bright, clean pickled-wire surface by eliminating the progressive production of wire-staining corrosion residue that travels along a typically grooved and corroded carbon steel hook and subsequently drips on cleaned product.
Alloy Engineering 625 hooks are fabricated from Inconel 625—a corrosion-resistant alloy of Cr, Ni and Al whose corrosion-resistant characteristics are predictable and only change gradually with temperature and variations in acid-bath concentration.
