The surface treatment of metals is already firmly implemented in many industrial sectors and is also urgently required. The main goal of surface treatment is cleaning, oxide reduction and pre-treatment of the respective metal. This serves in particular to achieve maximum wettability and to optimise adhesion by finest cleaning of the metals.
In the example below you can see a stainless steel plate where the left half is treated with the Piezobrush PZ2. The aim of the treatment is especially the fine cleaning of the surface in order to achieve a better wettability.
To clarify the result we use a test ink 48 nM. When applying the test ink, the increased wettability of the left side of the stainless steel plate compared to the non-wetted right side becomes very clear.
