Approvals:
Deox LNC meets Boeing Process Specification BAC 5765 [as Solution 29], Cleaning and Deoxidizing Aluminum Alloys, and can be used to meet the requirements of SAE-AMS-W-6858, Welding, Resistance: Spot and Seam.
Application Procedure:
Surfaces should be clean and free of organic contaminants. Immerse in a 10 – 20% by volume solution of Oakite Deoxidizer LNC at ambient temperature. Immersion time is normally 1 – 5 minutes. Process parameters will vary depending on the age of the bath and the degree of smut, oxidation or other contaminant on the surface. The solution should be air agitated. Rinse thoroughly in clean ambient temperature water.
A bath of Deoxidizer LNC has an etch rate on alloy 2024-T3 aluminum that ranges between 0.03 and 0.10 mils/surface/hour, depending upon the age and concentration of the bath.
Solution Control:
Deoxidizer LNC should be monitored and replenished on a regular basis, for example daily, by the ferric iron titration, Gardotest Procedure 25. On a less frequent basis, for example weekly or monthly, Deoxidizer LNC should be monitored and replenished by the total acid titration, Gardotest Procedure 150.
Ferric Iron (Gardotest Procedure 25):
1. Place a 5 mL sample of the bath into an Erlenmeyer flask.
2. Add about 50 mL of deionized water.
3. Add 30 – 40 drops of Gardotest Indicator 195 (Sulfosalicylic Acid). The color will turn dark red.
4. Titrate with Gardotest Solution 90 (0.10 M Versene) until the color turns yellow.
5. Percent by volume Deoxidizer LNC may be calculated by multiplying the milliliters used by 1.1
Total Acid (Gardotest Procedure 150):
1. Place a 10 mL sample of the bath into an Erlenmeyer flask.
2. Add about 100 mL of deionized water.
3. Add about 10 mL of Gardotest Solution 10 (Potassium Fluoride).
4. Add 5 – 10 drops of Gardotest Indicator 2 (Phenolphthalein).
5. Titrate with Gardotest Solution 37 (1 N Alkali) until the solution turns from colorless to pink.
6. Percent by volume Deoxidizer LNC may be calculated by multiplying the milliliters used by 2.4
Replenishment:
Normal replenishment, based on the ferric iron titration is with additions of Deoxidizer LNC. As the bath is used, the total acid of the Deoxidizer LNC solution tends to decrease. For each percent by volume based on total acid, below the percent by volume based on ferric iron, add 9.5 gallons of Gardobond Additive H 7140/1 per 1000 gallons of bath.
