One product was diluted to two concentrations, 5 and 10% using DI water in 250 ml beakers. Solutions were immersed in a water bath heated to 130 F and degassed using a Branson 3510 ultrasonic tank for five minutes. Six parts were immersed in each solution and cleaned with 40 kHz ultrasonic energy. Parts were rinsed in a tap water spray for 15 seconds at 120 F and dried using room temperature air for 30 seconds. Visual observations were made for both sets of cleaned parts and compared to each other.
The Hubbard Hall Ultrasoak 127 was very effective on most of the part types cleaned. Both the 5 and 10% dilutions had some trouble removing all the buffing compound from the back of the double bars.
