Electropolishing utilizes electrical current and chemicals in an electrolytic bath to remove burrs and produce a high luster finish. This process provides a stress-free polishing method that preserves the surface finish, improves the fatigue life of the part, removes contaminants, passivates, and creates a surface that retards corrosion.
Electropolishing flattens the surface, removes burrs, weld marks, scale from heat treating, and produces a flawless, mirror-like surface. Finishes can be improved as much as 50% RA, or down to an RA of 2, depending on the part. Electropolishing is ideal to reach interior surfaces where other polishing methods cannot. Also, Electropolishing provides a surface that will remain glossy and polished for a much longer period of time than standard mechanical polishing.
Electropolishing has become the preferred method for metal finishing in a variety of industries such as Medical, Pharmaceutical, Biotechnology, Food Processing, Water Treatment, Automotive, Marine, Aeronautics, and Electronics.
