ALUMINIUM DEGREASING ALM – 81
Aluminum degreasing is a very important step in a multi-stage aluminum process and is key before starting any other mechanical or chemical process.
Heavy-duty alkaline and caustic-based cleaners commonly used to clean steel will partially dissolve aluminum and can blacken the surface. In addition, the types of mill lubricants, cutting oils, and stamping compounds used on aluminum are different to those found on steel.
