About Ultrasonics

How Ultrasonics Work
Ground-In dirt and grime can be extremely tedious to remove by
hand, however it becomes easy with the use of ultrasonic cleaners.
A wide range of parts can be cleaned by the ultrasonic process to
a 'Like New' condition with the right detergent/solvent without
damaging the part.
A physical effect called "acoustic cavitation" generated in the liquid
is responsible for the cleaning process. Cavitations form when
ultrasonic waves travel through liquid. When a sound wave travels
through fluid it stretches and compresses the liquid to transmit
the sound, as the amplitude of such sound waves increase to a
critical level the negative pressures create cavities in the water.
As these cavities collapse high temperatures and large forces
are generated in a very localized area, the accumulative effect of
millions of these collapsing cavities is responsible for the cleaning
action and are particularly effective when used with the correct
detergent/solvent.
Cavitation takes place where ever the liquid comes into contact
with the object being cleaned, for example;
fine recesses/cracks and obscured chambers to clean where many
other cleaning methods cannot reach.
Objects Ultrasonics Can and
Can't Clean
Ultrasonic cleaners can be used to clean just about anything. The
list below names the most common items cleaned by ultrasonics:
• Taps, Dies, Milling cutters,
• Engine Blocks,
