Cleaning Non-Stainless Steel or Hybrid Components
To clean non-stainless steel or hybrid components, you will need:
• Acetone, reagent grade (or other suitable polar solvent, such as Methanol or Ethanol)
• Aluminum oxide abrasive, number 600
• Applicators, cotton-tipped
• Beaker, 450 mL
• De-ionized water
• Detergent (Alconox, Micro, or equivalent)
• Dremel rotary tool or equivalent (recommended)
• Forceps
• Gas, clean and dry (N
2
or He)
• Gloves, latex, impermeable
• Gloves, clean, lint- and powder-free
• Lint-free cloth
• Protective eyewear
• Tap water
• Toothbrush, soft
1. Remove contamination from metal surfaces. It is only necessary to clean surfaces that
come in contact with the ion beam. Do not clean non-metallic components.
a.
Use a slurry of number 600 aluminum oxide (PN 32000-60340) in glycerol and a
cleaning brush or cotton-tipped applicator (PN A0301-02000). Contamination may
appear as a dark or discolored area, but often is not visible.
b. Clean each components thoroughly, even if no contamination is visible.
c.
Use the wooden end of an applicator cut at an angle to clean the inside corners.
2. Rinse the components with clean water. Use a clean applicator or toothbrush to remove
the aluminum oxide slurry. Do not let the slurry dry on the metal; dried aluminum oxide
is difficult to remove.
3. Scrub all of the components with a warm detergent solution.
a.
Scrub the components with a toothbrush or clean applicator. Do not soak or sonicate
the components in detergent.
WARNING - MATERIAL AND EYE HAZARD.
Wear impermeable laboratory gloves and
eye protection when cleaning components.
Tip
To clean components faster, use a Dremel® tool with the polishing swab at its lowest
speed. Keep the tool away from possible hazards, such as standing water or flammable
solvents.
