[0042] Step four, nitric acid soaking;

[0043] The external voltage is applied to the component, a syringe is used to suck a proper amount of pure water to flush the pipeline, then a proper amount of nitric acid solution is sucked, and the solution is injected from the liquid inlet of the component at a speed of 25ml / L, the flushing is continued for 2 minutes, the power is cut off, the drug solution is kept full, and the component is kept for 6 hours;

After cleaning, the component is flushed with deionized water to remove residual drug solution.

[0054] Third, hydrochloric acid hydrogen peroxide soaking cleaning. The remaining metal impurities such as Fe, Zn, Ni and Cu in the raw material are removed. After washing, the component is flushed with deionized water.

[0056] Finally, rinse with pure water and dry with nitrogen.

[0057] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, it should be noted that for those skilled in the art, without departing from the principles of the present application, can also make a number of improvements and refinements, these improvements and refinements should also be considered within the scope of the present application.
