The Science of Electropolishing

Much of our business revolves around science and chemistry. Electropolish gives a shiny surface to (metal) using electrolysis. Electropolishing, also known as electrochemical polishing or electrolytic polishing (especially in the metallography field), is an electrochemical process that removes material from a metallic workpiece. It is used to polish, passivate, and deburr metal parts. It is often described as the reverse of electroplating.

We offer:

• Hand polishing and buffing services (for more info, click here)
• Electropolishing services

Electropolishing is usually used for stainless alloys but can be used on many metals, such as titanium parts.
