Cleaning scrap for melting
#12
I think I'm going to have to do a little high-school science experiment, put similarly soiled pieces of scrap into jars of various substances for a week and see which comes out cleanest for least cost and effort. So far the contenders are diesel, simple green, caustic soda, bicarb solution. Each plus or minus electrolysis.

Manual cleaning of parts takes me back to 1979 when I was a first-year apprentice motor mechanic and got to wash all the tradesmen's parts. Needless to say I do not want to go back to 1979.
