Ultrasonic pickling method and pickling device

Abstract

The present invention pertains to; a method of ultrasonic pickling by impressing a protective potential of not less than −300 mV baser than the corrosion potential of an ultrasonic diaphragm installed in a pickling solution on the ultrasonic wave imposing means and carrying out pickling while supplying corrosion preventive current of not less than 100 mA/m2 to a corrosion preventive current imposing means whose negative electric terminal is connected to the ultrasonic wave imposing means and whose positive electric terminal is connected to the pickling solution or a travelling strip material; and an apparatus for ultrasonic pickling, as an apparatus to embody the method, having an ultrasonic wave imposing means installed in a pickling solution and a corrosion preventive current imposing means whose negative electric terminal is connected to the ultrasonic wave imposing means and whose positive electric terminal is connected to the pickling solution or a travelling strip material.
