wet cleaning procedure for Ti substrates [split]

[jdulgerska]

Hi All,
Does anyone know where I can find a wet cleaning procedure for Ti substrates?
Many Thanks,
Juliana

Hi Juliana,

What exactly do you mean by wet cleaning? Degrease or heavy clean? J84A from CeeBee UK can be used on Ti in a relatively mild solution, works well too.

Hi Jim,
I mean not mechanical cleaning.May be acid solution for Ti targets.

Hi Juliana,

I'm no chemist and I can only comment on the methods we use here, but I do find the light duty alkaline cleaning solution of J84A (Supplied by McGean-Rohco Inc) or Turco 4181 is good for general cleaning. We have, on occasion used a acid strip solution for removing heat scale and oxide formation. This method needs a heated stainless tank (85o) and Turco Scale Gon 5 solution mixed with water. I'm not sure off hand what this stuff is but it seems to do the trick Dunk your part in for 15-30 mins then rinse.

Hi Juliana

to the Surface Engineering Forum.

I have split the thread that you originally posted in (crack-line-t-726.html) to form this new thread with a few edits. I hope you and Jim don't mind, as I felt two different topics in the same thread confusing and does not lend itself for searches.

Happy to see Jim helping you out
