Casting Cleaner.Kolene's Kastech Electrolytic e·lec·tro·lyt·ic adj. 1. Of or relating to electrolysis. 2. Produced by electrolysis. 3. Of or relating to electrolytes. e·lec salt bath is capable of removing 100% of burned-in sand, scale, oxides and free graphite from the surface and internal passages of intricate castings, such as hydraulic valves and engine cylinder heads. The process employs chemical reduction to clean castings, which are submerged in a salt bath as a negative charge is applied. In most applications, castings are cleaned in 30 mm. To remove surface graphite from castings, the chemical reduction cycle is followed by a chemical oxidation cycle that requires a positive charge. This cleaning cycle creates metallurgical met·al·lur·gy n. 1. The science that deals with procedures used in extracting metals from their ores, purifying and alloying metals, and creating useful objects from metals. 2. voids to improve bonding during subsequent brazing brazing, method of joining metal parts using nonferrous filler metals with high melting points such as copper, silver, and aluminum alloys. Brazing differs from soldering (see solder) by using a higher temperature; and unlike welding, the parts are not melted. , tinning, babbitizing and soldering soldering Process that uses metal alloys with low melting points to join metallic surfaces without melting them. Tin-lead solders, once widely used in the electrical and plumbing industries, are now replaced by lead-free alloys. operations. A final reduction cycle removes the light bath oxide from the casting surface. The salt bath also minimizes part distortion, does not attack the base metal and does not mask part defects.--Kolene Corp. |
