    The document compares two surface treatments for tubes: bright annealing and annealed/pickled. Bright annealing is done in a protective atmosphere and results in the lowest surface roughness of 1 micron maximum. Annealed and pickled involves acid baths and water treatments, leaving a light grey surface with a roughness of 1.5-3 microns. Bright annealing reduces surface roughness by 50% and produces a more homogeneous, dense oxide layer with fewer defects and places for contaminants, reducing corrosion and potential for leaks or blockages.

    Bright Annealed vs Annealed Pickled

    Annealed and Pickled Ra = 1.5 4.5 m

    Solution-annealing operation performed in a protective (reducing) atmosphere, containing hydrogen.

    Bright annealed Ra = 1 m max.

    A series of dips in different acid baths and water, then highpressure water and warm water, leaving the tube surface with a light grey/white surface.

    Ra = 1 m vs Ra = 1.5 3.0 m for annealed and pickled (p.a) materials

    Bright Annealed vs Annealed Pickled


    Ra value is reduced, on tubes often by 50%. Homogenous surface Better corrosion resistance less deposits Oxide layer with higher density less defects Less chance for leakage between the tube and fitting Less places to hide for dangerous particles that can block valves and pump seals Pickling leads to rough surfaces, trapping contaminants and salts, leading to potential corrosion attack.
