Description

DynaPower is an electrolytic cleaning process that replaces acid pickling for the removal of oxides and lubricants from metal surfaces using ordinary salt water as an electrolyte. The process saves $16.35/ton, generates no liquid effluent, and reduces sludge by 40 percent, as compared with acid pickling which produces and estimated 55 million tons of liquid waste per year. The process produces a more uniform metal surface and the micro roughness can be easily controlled. Other benefits include no entrapped hydrogen to reduce metal strength. The surface is also less susceptible to rusting.
