Abstract
A method and apparatus for cleaning conductive bodies using a basic aqueous disodium phosphate and sodium bicarbonate electrolyte. The outside surfaces of a metallic body is cleaned by placing the body in contact with the electrolyte and flowing DC current from an anode to the body, which forms a cathode. The body may be immersed in the electrolyte or the electrolyte may be sprayed onto the body.
