Michigan Seamless Tube announced it is slated to complete construction on a new 9,600-sq.-ft. pickling house at the end of January. The new pickling house will be
the fifth of its kind at the company’s 320,000-sq.-ft. facility, enabling MST to produce an additional 450 tons of product on a monthly basis. The pickling process is a surface treatment that removes oxides and scale from steel tubes, and is an integral part of the cold-drawn process.
