The most common industrial cleaning methods in the mechanical machining sector are chemical spray or immersion cleaning, which uses solvents or alkaline detergents to remove oils, greases, and chips, and ultrasonic cleaning, which uses high-frequency sound waves to clean. Positioned cleaning is used for complex-shaped products. Surface treatment includes processes such as pickling, passivation, galvanizing, chrome plating, and anodizing, all designed to protect metals from corrosion, improve the adhesion of paints or coatings, and impart specific aesthetic or functional characteristics. These operations, often integrated into automated lines, ensure components that are more resistant to wear, dimensionally stable, and ready for further processing or assembly, thus representing a strategic step in the mechanical production chain.
