During welding, mill scale hinders the flow of the liquid weld pool, often causing an undesirable weld appearance or contour. Mill scale also can impede penetration into the base material and cause a lack of fusion and weld inclusions. The greater the thickness or severity of the mill scale, the more challenges there are in welding the material.

05-20-2008, 11:05 AM. Hi guys, Maybe you have a slick way of removing mill scale from hot rolled shapes, typically bar stock. I have tried wire wheels, 36 grit flap wheels on 4-1/2" angle grinder and 36 grit Roloc discs on a 2" air angle grinder. Wire wheel isn't aggressive enough. Sandpaper cuts thru the scale great for a short period then ...
This grit level on a flap disc is used for weld removal, removing galvanization or for getting rid of heavier mill scale. If you're dealing with really heavy mill scale you may want to take a look at my article "Mill Scale Removal Before Welding Mild Steel – 3 Ways" before you read further. 3. A 60 grit flap disc is a general purpose grade.
Mill scale, often shortened to just scale, is the flaky surface of hot rolled steel, consisting of the mixed iron oxides iron(II) oxide (FeO), iron(III) oxide (Fe 2 O 3), and iron(II,III) oxide (Fe 3 O 4, magnetite).. Mill scale is formed on the outer surfaces of plates, sheets or profiles when they are being produced by rolling red hot iron or steel billets in rolling mills.
The spheres have the black mill scale on them which needs to be removed for the finished product. Right now I am hand sanding them with an orbital sander and 80 grit paper, they take about 20-30 minutes for a dumbbell to get a nice consistent finish. …
Besides mill scale removal, our surface preparation tools also remove rust, paint, copper slag, or other dirt. The Bristle Blaster ® combines the ability to produce an abrasive blasted finish with the high mobility and flexibility of a portable hand-held tool.
I prefer Muriatic Acid for mill-scale removal. One Reason Only: It Works Faster. Soaking Hot-Rolled Steel in Muriatic Acid & Water, Mixed 1:1 (Equal Parts), or Even 1:2 (1 Gallon Muriatic Acid to 2 Gallons of Water), Will Also Remove 99% of Your Dross (Slag), if …
Re: Best sandblasting media for mill scale removal. Both Vapor and Dustless blasting will work well for removing mill scale. I'd opt for a cabinet vapor blaster if you have a lot of small parts to do, and a dustless blaster if large work that can be done outside.
Scale removal and cleaning are vital steps in metal fabrication. Mill scale is a flaky surface that forms on exterior surfaces of sheets and plates as they are being manufactured through rolling steel billets and hot iron into rolling mills.

High-pressure waterjetting (HP WJ) is carried out at pressures up to 30,000 psig and is suited for paint or mill scale removal, removal of burned deposits and for cutting concrete. Ultra high-pressure waterjetting (UHP WJ) is performed at pressures greater than 30,000 psig. It's used mainly to remove non-skid coatings from ship flight decks ...
Mill scale is porous and poorly adherent scale of magnetite, it will only give limited short term protection to steel against corrosion. If you are coating any steel surface against corrosion it is necessary to blast clean (with garnet or similar) to a finish of Sa2.5 blast standard before coating. Regards. Vijay.
For example, light-orange rust and black oxide generated near welding areas have a lower ablation threshold than mill scale layers and are thus removed faster. In fact, most oxides are quickly removed in a single laser pass. Read more on the subject: How Does Laser Cleaning Work in 5 Steps . Laser Oxide Removal Applications
