Electropolish FAQs

What are the characteristics of electropolishing treatment?

- Surface smoothness improvement: Electropolishing removes minor irregularities and oxide layers from the metal surface, resulting in a smoother and brighter surface.

- Corrosion resistance improvement: Electropolishing enhances the corrosion resistance of metals by removing impurities and oxide layers that could cause corrosion.

- Application to precision parts: This treatment method is commonly used for precision metal parts such as medical instruments, optical components, and high-precision mechanical parts.

- Surface brightness improvement: Electropolishing produces a surface with a mirror effect, making it more attractive in appearance. - Reduction of microcracks: In some cases, electropolishing can also reduce microcracks on the metal surface, improving the material's strength and durability.

- Surface flatness: This treatment method can also improve the flatness of the metal surface, making it more uniform.
What is the difference between electropolishing and traditional mechanical polishing?

Electropolishing is conducted in an electrolyte solution by passing an electric current. This process can be done without any mechanical abrasion, thus avoiding the introduction of particles or abrasion. In contrast, traditional mechanical polishing may leave behind minor abrasion marks.
What are the applications of electropolishing?

Electropolishing is widely used in manufacturing precision parts such as medical instruments, optical components, automotive parts, and aerospace components. It is also used to improve the corrosion resistance and appearance of metal surfaces.
Which metals can undergo electropolishing?

Electropolishing is suitable for various metals, including stainless steel, aluminum, copper, titanium, etc.
What is electropolishing?

Electropolishing is a metal surface treatment method where the metal surface is dissolved by the passage of an electric current in an electrolyte solution, achieving a smooth, bright, and clean surface.
