What are the Process Steps to Electropolishing?

To obtain high quality electropolished finishes on most stainless steel alloys, it is necessary to process the work through three major operations:

  1. METAL PREPARATION: To remove surface oils, greases, oxides, and other contaminants, which interfere with the uniformity of electropolishing.
  2. ELECTROPOLISHING: To accomplish the desired smoothing, brightening, and/or deburring of the metal, followed by re-capture of the electrolyte to minimize waste treatment.
  3. POST TREATMENT: To remove residual electrolyte, to remove by- products of the electropolishing reaction, and to dry the metal to prevent staining.
