• What is Electropolishing? Electropolishing is
  commonly referred to as a reverse plating process
  instead of depositing material this
  electrochemical process removes material in a
  controlled fashion.

4
The Workpiece is Fixtured and immersed into an
acidic bath unlike plating the workpiece becomes
the anode and cathode are placed inside of the
electrolyte Observe. When current is applied
ions are removed from the surface resulting in a
smoother surface finish the result is a bright
shiny part free from scale discoloration and
impurities. Electropolishing is specified for
many reasons and can present significant cost
savings when multiple benefits can be recognized .

• The Most Common Reasons for Electropolishing are
• Benefits of electropolishing -
• Deburring
• Micro Finishing
• Corrosion Resistance
• Fatigue life Improvement
• Ultra Cleaning

6
Deburring - The transfer of ions occurs more
rapidly on corners or edges the process can
remove micro burrs from complex or fragile parts
that don't lend themselves to conventional
tumbling or vibratory finishing technique
7

• Micro Finishing - by removing 510 thousandths
  material through each surface electro polishing
  typically reduces micro finish values by
  approximately 50 without the potential of
  embedding foreign material.

8

• Corrosion Resistance - unlike conventional
  methods of passivation electro polishing actually
  removes the outer skin of metal and embedded
  contaminants.

9

• Fatigue life Improvement - able electropolishing
  millions of Springs every year to help meet the
  most demanding cycle life requirements.

10

• Ultra Cleaning - unlike parts that are painted
  plated or coated electro polished components are
  free from foreign materials and cannot peel or
  braid and are suitable for ultra-high purity
  applications.
