Quartz Tube Pickling Process

The quartz tube pickling process is a common surface treatment method primarily used to remove oxides and impurities from the surface of quartz tubes, enhancing their surface smoothness and corrosion resistance. Below are the general steps of the quartz tube pickling process:

Check the quality of the quartz tubes to ensure their surfaces are free of cracks, pores, and other defects. Then, place the quartz tubes into the pickling tank.

Pour the pickling solution into the tank, ensuring the quartz tubes are completely submerged in the acid. Common pickling solutions include hydrofluoric acid and sulfuric acid. Select the appropriate pickling solution and treatment time based on the requirements.

After pickling, remove the quartz tubes and rinse them thoroughly with clean water. Be careful not to damage the surface of the quartz tubes during washing.

After washing, check whether the surface of the quartz tubes is smooth and free from oxides and impurities. If the treatment results are unsatisfactory, a second pickling or additional treatment may be necessary.

Place the cleaned quartz tubes on a drying rack to air dry, or wipe them clean with a clean cloth before proceeding to the next steps.

It is important to note that the pickling process requires strict control of various parameters such as the concentration of the pickling solution, temperature, and treatment time to ensure effective treatment and maintain the quality of the quartz tubes. Additionally, operators should wear protective gear such as safety goggles and acid-resistant gloves to ensure safety.
