Metal degreasing may seem like a minor step, but in fact, it is a crucial operation that has a decisive impact on the final surface quality in the automotive industry. Every component must first undergo thorough degreasing to ensure adhesion of the protective passivation layer. Only then can subsequent processing take place. AUREL offers extensive and comprehensive surface treatment services to leading global car manufacturers. An essential part of these processes is degreasing.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Quality starts with cleanliness<\/h2>\n

Metal parts often arrive from production contaminated with various impurities<\/strong>. Typically, it\u2019s oils, greases, cooling emulsions, but also dust, corrosion, or oxidation residues. Their removal is vital not only for the adhesion of paints or phosphate layers, but also for the stability of subsequent processes such as bonding, assembly, or testing.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the automotive industry, degreasing of metal parts<\/a> is therefore a key step. Insufficient surface treatment will inevitably show up in the vehicle sooner or later. That is why surface cleanliness control and monitoring of degreasing process stability are integral to quality management systems and compliance with OEM standards.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Metal degreasing methods<\/h2>\n

The most common approach is chemical degreasing<\/strong>, usually with alkaline solutions, which realiably remove manufacturing contaminants from chassis, brake, or engine components. For complex or delicate parts, ultrasonic systems<\/strong> are often used, while plasma technologies<\/strong> are applied, for example, in the preparation of plastic components with metal inserts. Modern production lines rely on automation and online quality control<\/strong>, which are both essential to meeting strict OEM requirements.<\/span><\/p>\n
