What is Electropolishing? It is the process of polishing the stainless steel by removing micron from the surface of the stainless parts in a chemical environment under electric current and anodic current. Different formulations and different operating parameters are applied for each metal. Electropolishing is not a coating process. It is the process of polishing the stainless itself. It is the process of reaching the original appearance of stainless completely. It is the best method of polishing with etching method. Therefore, it is a process that must be applied to give a more noble appearance and quality to our stainless parts produced with great efforts. Regardless of the sector, part size and geometric shape where stainless is used, Electropolishing process is definitely applied in Europe and the USA.

Provides a new look to the treated product.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT ELECTROPOLISCAGE

What is Electropolishing? Electropolishing is the process of removing micron-sized pieces from the metal surface under anodic current and giving the metal its original shine. For more detailed information, visit our electropolishing page.

What are the Benefits of Electropolishing? It provides a shiny, homogeneous and decorative appearance without rusting, provides a sterile and anti-bacterial feature, provides high corrosion resistance, increases wear resistance, reduces friction resistance, provides high gloss and reflective appearance, takes the hydrogen brittleness of stainless, relieves stress and surface. . For more information, you can browse our electropolishing page.

How Large Part Can You Apply Electropolishing? Electropolishing is the process of removing micron-sized pieces from the metal surface under anodic current and giving the metal its original shine. For more detailed information, visit our electropolishing page.

How Durable Is The Electropolished Surface? Electropolishing itself is not a coating method, but a process of revealing the characteristic luster of the surface. For this reason, the physical properties of the polished metal remain the same. In addition to this, with other processes applied before and after electropolishing (passivation, pickling, mechanical polishing, etc.), various levels of protection are provided, such as removing part stress and increasing corrosion resistance.

How Many Parts Are Removed From The Surface With Electropolishing? The amount of pieces broken during the electropolishing process varies according to the duration of the process and is controlled by adjusting the time. Generally, its thickness is between 0.0003 and 0.0007 microns.

Why Is Electropolishing Called Electro Chemical Process? Since electropolishing is the process of polishing the part by giving a certain current in various chemicals, electropolishing is called an "electrochemical" process, which means both chemical and electrical.

How Necessary to Perform Partial or Full Passivation after Electropolishing? Since electropolishing does not provide protection on its own, passivation after the process is necessary for the longevity of stainless.
