AQUEOUS METAL FINISHING SOLUTION, METHODS FOR FINISHING METAL COMPONENTS, SYSTEM FOR CLEANING METAL COMPONENTS AND FINISHED BRASS PRODUCTS

摘要

An improved method of finishing metal components, such as brass fittings, is provided. The method employs a finishing solution comprised generally of an aqueous solution of organic acid, oxidizing agent and oxidation stabilizer. As such, the finishing of the metal component can be carried out in a single process tank and only requires a single set of rinses. The improved method provides a more efficient and economical process, while also providing a chromium-free finishing solution.
