I've got a big problem in relation to cleaning dross and other contaminants from the inside of small bore tubes.
We laser cut patterns into 304L stainless steel tubes of .017 inch internal diameter. We are having problems cleaning the dross and other contaminants from the inside of the tube. Currently we are pumping cleaning solution through the tube as well as using ultrasonics in the rinse baths. We are not having much success however.
Anyone got any suggestions?
I have experience using ferric chloride as a cleaning agent for removing oxides in other cleaning applications. Have not tried it here yet.
Any help/theories greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Dragon.
