Summary for heat-treated monel Discussion
heat-treated Monel is the likely topic here, but the question is too brief to identify a single chemical with confidence. SAKTHIVEL asks what chemical should be used for Monel clad material after heating. The reply notes that the intent could be soak cleaning, electrocleaning, pickling, or electropolishing, and says the best source is ASM Metals Handbook Vol. 5, which includes a full chapter on cleaning and finishing of nickel and nickel alloys, with specific references to Monel. No exact chemical recommendation is given in the thread, so the practical takeaway is to consult the handbook and clarify the finishing step before choosing a chemistry.

A. Hi SAKTHIVEL,
Your question is very brief. I think you might be asking what chemical should be used to soak clean or electroclean heat-treated Monel, or perhaps to pickle it, or to electropolish it?
Fortunately, ASM Metals Handbook Vol. 5 has a whole chapter of information on “Cleaning and Finishing of Nickel & Nickel Alloys” including specific references to Monel ⇨
