I had an old dishwasher I used as an improvised parts washer when fixing up cars.
I used a ratchet strap to keep the door closed because the latch was busted, but it still heated the water and sprayed it just fine.
How did steel and aluminum parts react after coming into contact with hot water and soap? I can imagine a non-trivial amount of milling/resurfacing of any interface that is meant to take a gasket due to how metals react to caustic environments.
Unless you disabled the dishwasher’s internal heating element and used degreasers instead of water… that makes a lot more sense.
I work in a production line that makes parts for diesel engines. We wash the parts in water and alkaline solution, then they hit a drier and get dried. Basically a giant dishwasher. The company is multi million dollar and world wide.
Just a long winded way of saying your imagination is wrong
Steel is no issue, but keep aluminum out of the dishwasher. It is basically ruined after the first trip.
yep, got in a rush one day and put my rice cookers aluminum bits in the dishwasher.
Not ruined, but definitely permanently discolored and ugly looking, and harder to clean now thanks to it.
You guys arent talking about aluminium thats been under the hood of a Honda Civic for 25 years, heat cycled literally thousands of times and covered in all manner of filth.
I was not restoring Ferarris.
What does it do to them? I've never tried it.
The bare aluminum became discolored, rough and ugly. Food sticks to it more, requiring more scrubbing to clean them. I dont know what that reaction is from a materials science perspective, though, if thats what you're asking.
Oh, I had no perspective, I had no idea 😁. Thanks.
I just used dishwasher tablets and It was fine as long as you took the parts out straight away while they were still "you need gloves" hot and hit them with WD40 or sat them in the sun. Never had an issue so long as I did that.
most dishwasher detergent formulations contain corrosion inhibitors for steel, some even contain corrosion inhibitors for aluminium though those are usually in the upper price segment.
