Surface Treatment from a Mechanical Point of View

6 Surface Treatment (from a Mechanical Point of View) 

Specify uniform and, in critical areas, top grade cleaning of surface. 

Specify removal of oxidized, contaminated, or decarburized surface layers. 

High-strength steels should not be acid cleaned (except anodically) nor cathodicaUy cleaned in an alkaline bath. Select a cleaning method that does not interfere with the mechanical strength of a 

Specify for avoidance of deep surface finish marks in production (or select appropriate fabrication
