How to Get Better Coating on HSS Tool Bits Using Aircraft & Metal Cleaner

Looking to improve coating on HSS tool bits? Aircraft & Metal Cleaner is a safe, rust-preventing solution that cleans deeply and prepares tools for better coating performance. Used in ultrasonic systems, it boosts tool life and reduces failures.

A smarter, safer way to clean and prepare metal tools before coating

If you're coating High-Speed Steel (HSS) tool bits, cleaning them the right way makes all the difference.

The wrong cleaner can damage the surface or leave behind rust. And that hurts coating quality — and your tool life.

Here’s a better option:

A water-based, non-toxic cleaner that protects your tools from flash rust and improves coating performance.

The Problem: Solvent cleaners fall short

Most factories use solvent-based cleaners.

But they:

  • Don’t clean deep enough 
  • Can damage coatings 
  • Are risky for your workers 
  • Leave metal open to flash rust

That’s where this cleaner helps.

It cleans well, prevents rust, and gets your tools ready for top-quality coating.

What we did:

We tested the cleaner in real working conditions. Here's how:

  • Picked different sizes of HSS tool bits 
  • Checked initial surface condition 
  • Cleaned them in a 5% solution (in an ultrasonic bath at 55°C, 33 kHz) 
  • Checked again for rust or issues 
  • Sent for coating 
  • Tested tool life, performance, and finish

Understanding these components is the first step to appreciating how treatment plants work to clean our water.

What we found:

  • Deep cleaning: Removed old grease, grime, carbon, and metal dust
  • No damage: Safe on metal — didn't affect surface or geometry
  • No flash rust: Thanks to rust-inhibiting formula
  • Better coating results: Improved finish, chip flow, and wear resistance
  • Longer tool life: Tools ran smoother and lasted longer

Why it works:

This is not your regular cleaner.

It’s made from natural ingredients.

It leaves a thin, dry, invisible layer that protects the surface from rust — even in moist air.

And it works on:

Stainless steel

Mild steel

Aluminium

Other soft metals

Better cleaning = better coating = better tool life.

This cleaner does all three — without the hazards of solvents.

If you're running a shop that coats HSS bits or precision tools, this product can cut your rejects, boost tool life, and reduce downtime.
