Degassing isopropyl alcohol used in cleaning metal parts 1

[dcopps]

I am a librarian in an engineering R&D company. A parts cleaner here has asked me to find an answer to a question. She is cleaning metals parts, mostly copper, titanium, stainless steel, phosphorus bronze, and brass. We are using isopropyl alcohol (2-propanol) for the cleaning, in the optima grade with 0.01% H<sub>2O. Are there benefits to degassing the alcohol and would degassing it reduce gasses significantly? Also, what can be some hazards, if any, of degassing at a temperature of 38degC (100degF)?

Thank you.

Is the alcohol being pressurized for a long period of time prior to use? Or, is the IPA being used under a vacuum in the cleaning process? If not, not sure what the benefit of "degassing" would be. De-gassing is to remove dissolved gas from a fluid, and is typically done to reduce or eliminate bubbles from occuring due to a large pressure drop in the liquid (such as flowing across an orifice or being subjected to a quick exposure to vacuum).
