Ultrasonic Cleaning

Cleaning aided by the application of high frequency sound waves in a cleaning solution. The high frequency sound waves are produced by transducers that convert electrical energy to mechanical energy causing microagitation. Microagitation results in localized low and high pressure fronts. At a low pressure front the solution vaporizes (boils) to form tiny bubbles. At a high pressure front these bubbles implode (cavitate) producing intense shock waves. It is the cavitation of a multitude of tiny bubbles to both exposed and hidden crevices that enables ultrasonics to clean the surface of components and precision parts (including the holes of diamond drawing dies) as well as removal of lubricant and loose scale on wire.
