Summary
Steel plate pickling workers use pickling tanks to chemically remove oxide scale and films adhering to the surface of steel plates, preparing them in a suitable condition for subsequent processes such as painting or plating. They are manufacturing line operators.
Description
Steel plate pickling workers immerse steel plates in acidic solutions in the pickling line to remove scale and impurities from the surface. They continuously process steel plates while managing chemical concentrations and temperatures. After processing, the plates undergo washing and neutralization before being passed to the next process.
