Molten salts

Molten salts are used as a key process in salt bath cleaning. Salt bath cleaning is a process that is used to clean workpieces made of metal or other materials. The process is based on the use of molten salts as a cleaning agent.

The molten salt dissolves impurities and residues from the workpieces that are immersed in the bath. This occurs through chemical reactions between the salts and the impurities, which lead to their removal. The high temperature of the molten salt also contributes to the residues being easily loosened and removed.

One advantage of salt bath cleaning is its ability to effectively clean even complex geometries and hard-to-reach areas. The molten salt can penetrate into small gaps and remove contaminants that may not be accessible with other cleaning methods. In addition, salt bath cleaning can be adapted for different types of materials and contaminants by adjusting the composition of the molten salt and the process parameters accordingly. This enables flexible adaptation to the specific requirements of different cleaning tasks.

An important aspect of salt bath cleaning is the subsequent treatment and disposal of the used molten salt. As this often contains impurities and residues from the cleaned workpieces, suitable processes must be implemented to treat and reuse or dispose of the molten salt in order to minimize environmental impact.

Overall, salt bath cleaning with molten salt is an effective process for cleaning workpieces in various industries. By utilizing the cleaning power of molten salt, contaminants can be effectively removed, resulting in clean and high-quality end products.
