摘要

An apparatus and method for cleaning articles in an electrolyte bath using a combined application of electrolytic and ultrasonic energy, including a cathode, an anode, and an ultrasonic generator adapted to emit an ultrasonic signal within the electrolyte. The electrolytic and ultrasonic energy is controllably applied to the article and the apparatus is adapted to allow the polarity of the anode and cathode to be periodically reversed.
