Electropolishing improves surface finish and corrosion resistance of metal parts
September 09, 2020The surface defects and contamination left behind by machining, stamping and welding can leave metal parts vulnerable to corrosion and premature failure.
That’s why manufacturers of critical metal parts in industries that include aerospace, medical device manufacturing, food processing - and more - often specify electropolishing for its ability to remove a microscopically precise layer of surface material and leave parts ultrasmooth, free of defects and with significantly improved corrosion resistance.
For stainless steel, aluminum, brass, copper and a wide variety of other alloys, electropolishing leaves surface metal with 30 times more corrosion resistance than passivation.
That’s a critical advantage, especially for parts destined for medical implants, military helicopters, pharmaceutical manufacturing machinery or food processing equipment.
At Able Electropolishing, our clients who make all of those products rely on our six decades of expertise, innovation and industry collaboration for consistently high-quality results.
Watch our video, Improve Corrosion Resistance of Stainless Steel & Aluminum Parts, to learn more about the effectiveness of electropolishing for leaving parts with substantially more protection against corrosion.
