Ultrasonic cleaning uses high-frequency sound waves in liquids to remove contaminants. Cavitation creates microbubbles that implode on the surface of parts and dislodge dirt particles – even in holes, crevices and threads. Common media are water-based cleaners or solvents with suitable additives. Important parameters: frequency, power, temperature, cleaning time, chemistry and rinsing/drying.
Advantages include uniform, gentle cleaning and reproducible results; critical factors include fitting tolerances, sensitive coatings and correct bath management. Regular filtration, degreasing, concentration and pH control ensure quality. The method is suitable for pre-cleaning and final cleaning, especially for fine assemblies, nozzle systems, bearings and precision parts.
