Abstract
Sodium chloride (NaCl) was shown to have a beneficial effect on the pickling of mild steel in different concentrations of sulfuric acid (H2SO4) at various temperatures and ferrous sulfate (FeSO4 . 7H(2)O) accumulations in the bath. Addition of this salt to the H2SO4 bath drastically reduced metal loss, enhanced the pickling rate, removed scale quickly. and improved the surface finish of the pickled material. Addition of hydrochloric acid (HCl) instead of NaCl, however, accelerated the corrosion rate of mild steel in the uninhibited acid solution but had a negligible effect in the inhibited solution. The beneficial effect of NaCl was discussed based upon electrochemical parameters
