Smut removal using high performance ultrasound on high carbon steel wire

$15.00

During the pickling of high carbon steel wire, variations in the process variables that result in over-etching often cause a dark smut formation. This smut consists of fine particle iron carbides that are extremely tenacious and difficult to remove from the wire surface. DynaMotive Technologies Corp. has developed a high frequency focused beam ultrasonic cleaning system called DynaSonicsÆ.
