Heat treating often requires changing the surface chemistry of the part from carburizing or Nitriding. In addition it is important to remove residual quench oil from parts after quenching. Discussion of various cleaner chemistries will be discussed, with application to heat treating. Case histories will be shown showing the effect of improper cleaning has on parts.
