It came out of the tank clean but ugly. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)



I'm in the aerospace precision cleaning business and we never ultrasonic aluminum. What you see on the surface of the aluminum are cavitation marks generated by small implosions that are super hot in excess of 300F on the aluminum when the ultrasonics are on. Excessive exposure to sonication can generate pits and even cracks on the surface of the aluminum. When cleaning aluminum and ultrasonic cleaning is desired, its best to only do small burst 15-20 seconds of sonication at a time but not to exceed more that a few minutes in total for the cleaning.

Thank you for the education.

Parts look great....I don't like the name! Not a vapor process (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Water+compressed air+glass bead ≠ vapor (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
I didn't name it. Seems to be the name used in the motorcycle/industry that makes the device.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) With Herr Mueller. The first time I heard the phrase vapor blasting, I had something very different in mind until I started googling.

Brent’s carbs. I had to go easy because I didn’t want to strip off the plating on the hardware and fittings. Still, it looks better than what we started with and I was happy I could help out Brent. A little payback for such an entertaining and enjoyable build thread.

*I don’t do this for hire and since I no longer work at the shop, I’m not able to sneak in other peoples parts. Sorry.
The good thing is that there are more and more people offering this surface.

Restoration on the Morini riders club. http://www.morini-riders-club.com/forum/vi...amp;hilit=Early

There are a lot more pics and details on my builders site - Antietam classic cycle Facebook.
After seeing my vapor blasted parts, my engine builder has been using it on a lot of his builds.

Can't tell you how grateful I am that you brought my carbs back to beautiful. I still have to stop and stare at them in admiration at least once a week. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
