Why is degreasing important before brazing?

Oils, grease, and other contaminants can interfere with proper brazing. Cleaning the component before processing helps provide a suitable surface for consistent brazing results.

What contaminants can degreasing remove?

Depending on the application, degreasing can remove oils, grease, machining fluids, forming lubricants, handling residue, and other manufacturing contaminants.

What types of parts can Rogers degrease?

Typical components include tubing, fittings, machined parts, stamped and formed components, brazing assemblies, and other precision metal components.

What materials can Rogers degrease?

Rogers can process stainless steel, carbon steel, copper, brass, nickel alloys, and other metals depending on the application.

Can degreasing be combined with brazing?

Yes. This is one of the strongest reasons to use Rogers. Cleaning can be integrated with brazing and other secondary operations to reduce supplier handoffs.

Do parts need to be cleaned before annealing?

Cleaning requirements depend on the material, surface condition, annealing process, and contaminants present. Rogers can evaluate the application and recommend an appropriate process sequence.

WHAT IS INDUSTRIAL DEGREASING?

Industrial degreasing removes oils, grease, machining fluids, lubricants, and other contaminants left on components during manufacturing and handling.

Proper cleaning is especially important before processes such as brazing and welding, where surface contamination can interfere with process quality and consistency.

Professional degreasing can help:

Remove oils and grease
Remove machining and forming residues
Prepare surfaces for subsequent operations
Improve process consistency
Reduce contamination-related defects
Deliver clean parts ready for the next production step

For customers using multiple Rogers services, degreasing can also be incorporated into a complete processing sequence.

OUR DEGREASING CAPABILITIES

PRE-BRAZE CLEANING

Prepare components for brazing by removing oils, grease, lubricants, and manufacturing contaminants that can interfere with joint quality.

PRODUCTION DEGREASING

Repeatable cleaning processes for production quantities of metal components requiring consistent surface cleanliness.

COMPLEX PART CLEANING

Cleaning solutions for fittings, tubing, machined components, stamped parts, and assemblies with challenging geometries.

INTEGRATED PROCESS CLEANING

Combine degreasing with brazing, annealing, welding, testing, assembly, and other Rogers services to streamline your production process.

WHY PROFESSIONAL DEGREASING?
Effective cleaning is more than a cosmetic step. Proper surface preparation can have a direct impact on downstream manufacturing quality and process reliability.
KEY ADVANTAGES

Clean
Surfaces

Remove oils, grease, lubricants, and manufacturing residues from metal components.

Better Brazing Results

Properly prepared surfaces help support consistent filler-metal flow and reliable brazed joints.

Fewer Process Defects

Reducing contamination helps minimize problems caused by dirty or improperly prepared components.

Consistent
Results

Controlled cleaning procedures provide repeatable preparation from batch to batch.

Ready for the next Process

Components can move directly into brazing, welding, assembly, testing, or other production operations.

Production
Efficiency

Combining cleaning with other Rogers capabilities can reduce handling, transportation, and supplier coordination.
