Neutralytes
Because most electrolytes are salt solutions, any mark or
etch must be neutralized by wiping it with, or soaking
it in, a neutralizing solution for a specified period
of time. If the wiping operation is used, the part should
be dried before wiping with the neutralizer.
If a pad saturated with neutralizer is used to wipe parts
which have not been dried, soon the pad will have more electrolyte
than neutralyte on it, and the corrosion problem will be
aggravated instead of eliminated. Soaking in a solution especially
prepared to counteract the action of the electrolyte is the
other method of neutralizing. These solutions usually are
diluted with water ( up to twenty parts of water) depending
upon the application. Soaking time is about ten minutes.
After this, the use of proper neutralizing oils will insure
against corrosion. The type of oil depends upon the application. |
