Degreasing in the steel industry is an important process to remove oil, grease, and other contaminants from steel surfaces before proceeding to the next processing stage such as coating, welding, or painting.

This process aims to ensure that the steel surface is completely clean, thus providing optimal adhesion of coatings or other materials and reducing the risk of defects in the final product.

Degreasing can be performed through a variety of methods, including washing using chemical solutions, solvents, or water-based cleaning methods, as well as the use of steam or ultrasonic techniques.

The degreasing process in the steel industry is critical to improving the quality of the end product and extending the life of the material. If oil or other contaminants are not properly removed, this can lead to problems such as corrosion, delamination of protective coatings, or defects in welded joints.

Therefore, choosing the right degreasing method and ensuring that the process is thorough is key to ensuring the structural integrity and long-term performance of the processed steel products.
