Tube Internal Surface Treatment

Tube Internal Surface Treatment
Social requirement has been in need of advancing corrosion resistance of internal surface of steel tubes. Coping with the circumstance, a surface treatment method named as HINIC®, Double Layer Nickel, was developed on purpose of not only complying with use of alcohol-blended fuel and other fuels but also incresaing corrosion resistivity to tube internal surface.

Corrosion Resistance to Alcohol-Blended Fuel and Sour Gasoline

a.Test Sample
ø8 x L100 Electric-resistance Welded Steel Tube
  1. Plain Coating(Corresponding to Copper Plating of 3 µm.)
  2. Nickel Plating
  3. HINIC® (Double Layer Nickel)
b.Test Solution
  1. Sour Gasoline : Regular Gasoline + Lauroyl per Oxide(3%)
  2. M-85(with Additive 1.) : Regular Gasoline + Formic Acid(100PPM) + Chlorine(100PPM) + Water(1%)
  3. M-85(with Additive 2.) : Regular Gasoline + Formic Acid(1%) + Formaldehyde(1%) + Water(1%)
