Weld Cleaning

Electrochemical weld cleaning is a process by which post-weld impurities such as rust, heat tints, and discoloration are removed from metal surfaces under the effect of mild electrolytic fluids and a weak electrical current.

• Weld cleaning is done to increase the corrosion resistance of metal surfaces after TIG, MIG, and other types of welding.

• Metal surfaces and welds are quite susceptible to different types of degradation – Rust and cross-contamination are just some of the examples.

Electrochemical marking is a process by which conductive metal surfaces are marked and labeled with the help of electrical current and mild electrolytic fluids.

• Marking creates a dark imprint on the metal surface without changing its upper layer. Thus, the darkened color tone of the surface is the only change that occurs as a result of this process.

• Etching produces a small incision on the surface of the metal and removes some of the material. The resulting mark has a light/whitish appearance.

• Metal parts and machines are marked and etched for traceability and enhanced branding. This includes logos, QR codes, serial numbers, dates and other information relevant to industrial production.
