Removing Forging residue from Steel - Case Study

Stage 1- Ultrasonic wash with H14: The tank was filled with tap water and then diluted with a 10% concentration of H14 cleaning detergent. The tank was allowed to degas and reach the required temperature before cleaning. H14 has been specially formulated to remove important deposits on cast iron parts, stainless steel, martensitic or austenitic stainless and refractory alloys, magnesium, titanium and its alloys. Aluminium is to be avoided. Powerful deoxidizer for the same metals. Concentrated cleaning product made of a mix of high-performing surfactants, liquid averagely alkaline, designed to implement degreasing by ultra-sounds. H14 offers outstanding characteristics to be rinsed without any residual film. Can also be used for the removal of hard-to-remove varnishes, resists, lacquers and paints from metals mentioned above. The mould had a 90-minute cycle in the ultrasonic cleaner.

Stage 2 – Tap water: Next, the part was placed in an empty tank and rinsed manually with a hose. Typically, a rinse tank would be used.

Stage 3 – Dry: Lastly, the die was dried manually with an airline. As the tool retained the heat from the cleaning cycle it dried very quickly. An airline was used to flush the holes before packing.
