Importance of workpiece surface cleaning for electric scooters

1. Definition and scope of workpiece surface cleaning
1.1 Definition of surface cleaning
Workpiece surface cleaning refers to the process of removing impurities, stains, scale, rust and other substances on the surface of the workpiece by physical, chemical or mechanical methods, so that the surface of the workpiece reaches a certain degree of cleanliness and quality requirements. This process is crucial to ensure the performance, quality and smooth progress of subsequent processing technology of the workpiece. Surface cleaning can not only improve the aesthetics of the workpiece, but also enhance its corrosion resistance and service life.
1.2 Scope of workpiece surface cleaning for electric scooters
The surface cleaning of workpieces for electric scooters covers multiple key components, mainly including the following aspects:
Frame surface cleaning: The frame is the main structure of the electric scooter, and its surface cleaning is crucial. The surface of the frame usually has residual oil, iron filings and dust from the production process. If these impurities are not cleaned, it will affect the quality of subsequent painting or coating. According to research, the adhesion of the coating on the uncleaned frame surface will be reduced by 30% to 40%, causing the coating to peel off easily, affecting the corrosion resistance and service life of the vehicle. Therefore, the surface cleaning of the frame usually adopts methods such as sandblasting or chemical degreasing to ensure that the surface cleanliness reaches the Sa2.5 standard, providing a good foundation for the subsequent coating process.
Motor housing cleaning: The surface cleaning of the motor housing is equally important. The motor generates heat during operation, and dust and oil may accumulate on the surface of the housing, affecting the heat dissipation effect. Studies have shown that for every 0.1 mm thick layer of dirt on the surface of the motor housing, its heat dissipation efficiency will be reduced by about 15%. This may cause the motor to overheat, reduce motor efficiency, and even cause failures. Therefore, the cleaning of the motor housing usually adopts methods such as high-pressure water gun flushing or ultrasonic cleaning to ensure the surface is clean to maintain good heat dissipation performance.
Wheel hub surface cleaning: The wheel hub is a key component of the electric scooter that contacts the ground, and its surface cleaning cannot be ignored. The surface of the wheel hub may be contaminated with impurities such as mud, sand and brake dust. These impurities not only affect the appearance of the wheel hub, but also pose a potential threat to the structural integrity of the wheel hub. For example, metal particles in brake dust may form tiny scratches on the surface of the wheel hub, reducing the strength of the wheel hub. Therefore, the surface cleaning of the wheel hub is usually done by manual wiping or chemical cleaning agents to ensure that there are no obvious stains and impurities on the surface of the wheel hub to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle.
Cleaning of other parts: In addition to the above-mentioned main parts, other parts of the electric scooter such as handlebars, pedals, brake systems, etc. also need to be cleaned. Although these parts are relatively small, their surface cleaning is equally important. For example, the surface cleaning of the brake system can ensure good contact between the brake pads and the brake discs and improve the braking performance. According to tests, the braking distance of the cleaned brake system can be shortened by about 10%, which significantly improves the safety of the vehicle.
