Hvordan står det til, Einar?

Different cleaning processes used in the aerospace industry include abrasive cleaning as well as Nitric/Hydrofluoric acid pickling. Some of the technical details are presented in MIL-HDBK-697, which is available on the Internet at: astimage.daps.dla.mil/quicksearch

Hyggelig å treffe deg,

Dear Einar,

Depends on sort of parts, you can use nitric/hydrofluoric acid, very good result you can also reach with reducing melt (sodium hydroxide+sodium hydride).

Best Regards,
