Cleaning the easy way. \u00a0Ultrasonic cleaning\u00a0is not new. Whatever the reason, it took a while \"\"to catch on with competitive\u00a0action sh00ters.<\/p>\n

The unit I use is the Harbor Freight\u00a0<\/a>\u00a02.5 liter. Don’t forget and grab a 20% coupon.<\/p>\n

This unit can add heat about 180 degrees and many preset clean times.<\/p>\n

USED with good Results:<\/p>\n

Dawn Dish Detergent and Water<\/p>\n

White vinegar and water<\/p>\n

Some use a solution with simple green Aluminum CAUTION<\/p>\n

Other have used “outside only” solvents\u00a0that are not approved, like kerosene. it is a fire hazard when using solutions that can be flammable.<\/p>\n

Cleaning brass- white\u00a0vinegar to brighten.<\/p>\n

CAUTION –\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Other solvents work but the CAUTION is knowing the FLASHPOINT in temp. \u00a0Read the product SDS. A spark at that temp can yield very bad results as in FIRE or EXPLOSION. Ventilation, observation outdoor use required.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cavitation\u00a0of ultrasound will increase heat. Measure Temp of fluid to not exceed 39 Centigrade.<\/p>\n

FLASHPOINT all you need to know<\/a><\/p>\n

Typical Flast Points of:<\/p>\n

acetone’s flash point of \u221220 \u00b0C (\u22124 \u00b0F) \u00a0\u00a0Distilled Hydrocarbons 40 C<\/p>\n

Ecotech\u00a0(D Limonene, Distilled light hydrocarbons) which I use 3 oz to 50 oz distilled water – Flashpoint is 40C.<\/p>\n

AR\u00a0 Bolt buildup sometimes requires a good soak in solvent. Overnight to help loosen up the carbon. Photo left.<\/p>\n
