A Process to Clear Ball Jam in Ball Pen Tips

The jam in ball pen tips made of copper alloys due to corrosion can be cleared using the chemical treatment process to make the damaged tips functional. Chemical treatment of jammed ball pen tips made of copper alloys to clean the corrosion products and make the tips operative.

• The chemical treatment of the jammed ball pen tips is done in the batch process to clear the jam and restore the tip functionality.
• The treatment process involves contacting the jammed ball pen tips with the treatment solution for a duration of 1-2 minutes by dipping.
• The chemical treatment is done at ambient conditions in an ultrasonic bath.
• The chemical treatment removes the corrosion products around the jammed ball and forms a conversion coating of less than 10 nm thickness on the top surface to protect it from further corrosion.
• The chemical treatment process improves the appearance of the tips and does not alter the writing performance of the ball pen tips.
• The process is scalable and economical

• Clears the jam in ball pen tips.
• Restores the shine and writing functionality of jammed tips.
• Improves the corrosion resistance and performance of tips.
