Can ultrasonic cleaning damage objects?

September 5, 2020 By Miranda Jackson Leave a Comment

The accumulation of dirt in objects over time can damage them. Valuable items such as jewelry or watches as well as important items such as dental or surgical instruments and optical accessories are maintained by ultrasonic cleaning. This simple but effective method effectively removes dirt embedded in small items. But is it safe for cleaned materials?

The effects of ultrasonic cleaning on objects

Using an ultrasonic cleaner on small parts is very beneficial. However, the compression and decompression phases of the bubbles during cavitation can affect the structure of the parts to be cleaned. When using ultrasonic cleaning, it is best to select the right product for the parts that are immersed in the ultrasonic box. An unsuitable solution can damage objects if you are not careful.

When using an ultrasonic cleaner, it is important to know that ultrasonic cleaning is not suitable for parts already damaged, damaged, or with natural asperities. The latter will only widen the cavities or increase the cracks. It should be noted that opals, emeralds, pearls, corals, turquoise, lapis, malachite and tanzanite should not be passed to the ultrasound tank.

What is ultrasonic cleaning?

Ultrasonic cleaning is a method of removing dirt easily and quickly from small parts such as jewelry, dental and surgical accessories or electronic components. To remove impurities from these various elements, they must be immersed in the ultrasonic cleaner or the ultrasound tank. It is a container containing water or a suitable solvent in which the parts to be cleaned are deposited and in which the electrical energy of a frequency of 20 to 40 kHz is projected. This causes a reaction called cavitation. This phenomenon occurs when microbubbles of dirt form and then implode during compression and decompression phases. These small bubbles present in the ultrasonic cleaner, therefore, remove impurities and grease that are difficult to access. For more information, do not hesitate to consult our article on the mode of operation of an ultrasonic cleaner.

The benefits of ultrasonic cleaning

The use of an ultrasound bin has many advantages, especially for professionals handling small parts that are difficult to maintain. Very fast, ultrasonic cleaning allows treating several elements simultaneously. Depending on the intensity of the waves emitted in the ultrasonic cleaner and the size of the elements that are deposited there, the operation can take between 3 to 20 minutes.

This type of cleaning is also appreciated for its high accuracy. By using an ultrasound tank, the professional removes dirt residues that have accumulated in the smallest spaces. The ultrasonic cleaner reaches the smallest cracks as well as the most inaccessible breaks and recesses of the parts. Also, this type of cleaning can shine parts. He is also appreciated for the excellent result he provides each time.
