E) Welds that cannot be cleaned
If the area around the weld is black (not blue) from contami-
nation, this is a problem of high heat generated during the
welding process. The contaminated areas do not conduct
electricity. If there is no conductivity in the material, the
SURFOX system cannot work.
If there are two welds on top of the other, the structure of
the material has been seriously altered. These areas may
not be cleaned.
The quality of the weld is critical. The better the weld, the
easier it will be to clean.
