Deoxidizing: Deoxidizing is the process of removing metal oxides,particullarly on aluminium components. A caustic soda (%5) solution in water is quite effective in removing ozide on aluminium parts. The deoxidized parts are later immersed in a bath having 20 to 50 % nitric acid solution in water to clean up the surface completely.
