Finish Name
Electropolishing
Electrochemical polishing
Anodic or Electrolytic polishing
Specification
ASTM-B912
Benefit
Electropolishing uses current flow in a chemical bath to smooth a metal surface by removing surface material. It reduces the surface roughness by preferentially eroding micro-peaks. It is used to passivate (make the surface less reactive), and deburr metal parts. The end result is a very clean and smooth finish.
Base metal substrate
Stainless steel alloys
