Determination of Reasonable Value Range of Some Parameters When Cleaning Steel with Ultrasonic Assistance

There are many parameters affecting the amount of removed rust on the steel surface during ultrasonic cleaning. This article presents the experimental study results to determine the value range of some paratmeters of machining process to ensure the amount of removed rust on the steel surface with great value. Tests were performed in two different detergent solution media of without using acid and using acid. The reasonable value ranges of machine power, machining time, distance from steel plate to ultrasonic transducer (called machining distance) and detergent solution concentration have been determined. From the results achieved in this paper, the development direction for the next studies has also been proposed.
