Process for Cleaning and Polishing Nitinol or Titanium

Minimum recommended process for electropolishing Titanium alloys

  1. Clean in MicroClean Ti™ (RDZ-1849) (Time and temperature to be determined, no such thing as “too much”)
  2. Water Rinse
  3. Alcohol Rinse
  4. ElectroPolish Ti2 (RDZ-1676), 300+ Amps/ft2, up to 10 minutes
    OR
    Generic Electropolish (70/30 Methanol/sulfuric) which you can make, or can purchase Nitinol Titanium ElectroPolish (RDZ-1867), used at 7-10 volts, ~50 Amps/ft2, and below -20 degrees C.  If you are making this exciting blend, you may want to read “Control of Methanol-Sulfuric blends”.

If the polishing is non-uniform, the surface may be oxidized, and require a treatment after the MicroClean Ti™: MicroClean MV™ (RDZ-1995), which, although it is a strong acid de-oxidizer it will NOT remove metal.

What is UV Printing and What Can It Do for You?

Ultra Violet (UV) printing is different from conventional printing in a number of ways. The basic elements – ink and paper – are the same, but the overall process and the products involved are completely unique.  

In conventional printing, ink dries when solvents found in the ink evaporate into the air and absorb into the paper. UV inks, on the other hand, are cured on press via UV lamps. 

Combined with high-quality products, UV printing offers a wide range of benefits, making it the preferred choice for a wide range of unique and high-quality print work.

Garbage In = Garbage Out!

Never sacrifice quality – learn the importance of choosing high-quality products for your Pressroom

If you have spent any time in a press room or manufacturing facility, you may have heard the expression, “Garbage in = Garbage out.” In other words, the quality of your end product is only as good as the quality of the materials you use to produce it.
