Automotive
Cleaning of precision parts before coating or bonding.
Prepare metal surfaces with electrochemical cleaning.
How it works
- 01
A direct electric current is passed between the part (acting as a cathode or anode) and an electrode.
- 02
This triggers an electrochemical reaction that breaks down and removes oxide layers, scales, oils, and other surface contaminants.
- 03
The result is a clean, activated surface ready for further processing like electroplating, anodizing, painting, or welding.
Industry applications
Electrolytic Cleaning Equipment is a specialized cleaning system that uses electrochemical reactions to remove oxides, scales, rust, oils, and contaminants from metal surfaces. Unlike conventional mechanical or chemical cleaning, electrolytic cleaning ensures uniform, efficient, and eco-friendly surface preparation that is critical for electroplating, coating, welding, and precision manufacturing.
