Improving borax coating on mechanically descaled rod

$15.00

Borax coatings that are uniform, dry and clean improve the drawability of mechanically descaled medium and high carbon steel rod and the shelf life of the finish wire. This paper will review present methods and introduce a new process that results in more uniformity, rapid drying and a residual film with better rust retardation.
