METAL PRE‐TREATMENT: By the Sodium Hydride Process

Abstract

CONVENTIONAL processes for descaling metals are generally by acid pickling or sand or shot blasting. Both these processes inevitably result in metal loss: acid pickling has the disadvantage of causing hydrogen embrittlement; shot blasting affects the surface of the metal, as it may become impregnated by iron from the shot.
