Electropolishing
Electropolishing (Electrochemical Polishing, Electrolytic Polishing)
The workpiece being polished serves as the anode and insoluble metal as the cathode. When two poles are immersed in bath of electrolyte, a current will pass from the anode, where metal on the surface is oxidized and dissolved in the electrolyte to the cathode, which results in removing the burrs of workpiece and increasing the brightness.
Advantages of Electropolishing
1. Color and lustre is consistent both inside and outside with long-lasting sheen. The concave places that mechanical polishing cannot reach can be leveled.
2. High efficiency and low cost. Bulk sample production.
3. With increasing surface corrosion resistance, it can be applied to all stainless steel materials.
