In this particular application, the parts washing baskets would be exposed to a water-diluted ultrasonic cleaning solution with a pH value around 10 (making it a very strong alkaline). 

Instruction

1. To survive this chemical concentration and temperature for this amount of time, grade 304 stainless steel was deemed sufficient for the task. However, this alloy was not to be used by itself—to keep the copper parts from getting scratched, a specialized coating would be applied to the wire basket.

2. This soft coating would also have to take the punishment of the ultrasonic washing process. 

3. Once the dimensions of the wire basket, open space between wires, and other specific design features were set, the engineering team created a CAD file detailing the basket's specs and ran it through the Autodesk physics simulation software to test it virtually.

4. This test would reveal any major flaws which could cause the wire basket to fail under normal use conditions. Any such flaws were corrected before the design was moved to production—saving precious time, money, and material on bad basket prototypes.

5. The end result was a durable ultrasonic parts cleaning wire basket that could take the rigors of the cleaning process while protecting the delicate copper parts held within. Need a durable custom wire basket for your own production process.
