Salt bath cleaning
Salt bath cleaning is a process used in various branches of industry to clean workpieces. In this process, the workpieces are immersed in a bath of molten salts to remove impurities and residues.
The salt bath cleaning process is based on the ability of the salts to dissolve impurities from the workpieces. Due to the high temperature of the molten salts, the contaminants are dissolved and can be easily removed. This enables effective cleaning even of complex geometries and hard-to-reach areas of the workpieces.
One advantage of salt bath cleaning is its versatility. The process can be adapted for a variety of materials and contaminants by adjusting the composition of the salt solution and the process parameters accordingly. This makes it possible to adapt salt bath cleaning to the specific requirements of different cleaning tasks.
Another advantage is the efficiency of salt bath cleaning. By utilizing the cleaning power of the molten salts, impurities can be removed quickly and thoroughly, resulting in clean and high-quality workpieces. After cleaning, the used salts must be processed and disposed of. This can be done using various processes to minimize environmental impact and ensure sustainable use of resources.
Overall, salt bath cleaning is an effective process for cleaning workpieces in various industries. By utilizing the cleaning power of molten salts, contaminants can be removed effectively and efficiently, resulting in clean and high-quality end products.
