Abstract

PURPOSE:To drastically reduce the amount of impurities generated from the surface of metallic material by performing electolytic polishing treatment on the metallic material and thereafter performing washing treatment due to ultra sonic wave. CONSTITUTION:After a pipeline member 1 made of metallic material such as stainless steel is electrolytically polished by a known method, this pipeline member 1 is immersed in ultra pure water 4 in a tank 3 made of quartz glass which is provided in an ultrasonic wave washing tank 2. While ultra pure water is passed through the pipeline member 1 at the flow rate of e.g. 1 ml/min, ultrasonic wave of 36kHz frequency is imparted and the pipeline member 1 is washed. Impurities such as the component (e.g. Cl<->, PO4<3-> and NO3<->) of an electrolyte are extremely reduced which are stuck to the inner wall of the pipeline member 1 made of stainless steel.
