Electropolishing

Electro Chemical Polishing has many applications in the metal finishing industry because of its simplicity, it can be applied to Mechanical Components of complex shape and to Polish areas inaccessible by other polishing methods.

The Electrolytic Polishing on specific Components improves the surface finish by leveling micro peaks and valleys and in particular it removes a small amount of material from the surface of the parts, also removing small burrs. Results are aesthetically shining-surface.

Typically, the workpiece is immersed in a temperature-controlled bath of electrolyte and serves as the anode. A current passes from the anode, where metal on the surface is oxidized and dissolved in the electrolyte, to the cathode. At the cathode, a reduction reaction occurs on stainless steel AISI 304 or copper or sometimes lead plate.
