Electropolishing

Electropolishing, also known as electrochemical polishing, anodic polishing or electrolytic polishing, is an electrochemical finishing process that removes a thin layer of material from a metal part, typically stainless steel or similar alloys. Electropolishing is especially useful for polishing and deburring parts with complex geometries or fragile surfaces. The electropolishing process may improve the surface finish of your metal part by 10%-40% (depending on part tolerances and surface finish) or void of any tiny imperfections. Alfa Chemistry provides customers with professional electropolishing services to improve the quality of electroplating. You can fully trust our professionalism and service attitude.

Benefits of electropolishing

Alfa Chemistry has advanced plating solutions and the latest techniques in order to electropolish your small or large components. We specialize in electropolishing because of the following benefits:

• Prolongs life of parts in constant motion.
• Unlike mechanical finishing, electropolishing does not smear, bend, stress or fracture the crystalline metal surface.
• Electropolishing works on delicate parts that might be damaged in a tumbling process, thus, it can replace some mechanical finishing techniques such as grinding, buffing, milling and blasting.
• Electropolishing can polish areas that are inaccessible by other polishing methods without causing damage. Effectively treats tiny surfaces on complex components.

• On a microscopic level, electropolishing removes small pieces of displaced surface material that may cause potential snags and fractures.
• Electropolishing can remove embedded contaminants and create a clean surface.
• The electropolished metal surface has high reflectivity, a beautiful appearance, uniform gloss, and no fine lines that appear with abrasive polishing.

Influencing factors of electropolishing amount

• Electrolyte chemical composition.
• Temperature of the electrolyte.
• Duration of exposure to current.
• Electropolished metal composition.
• Density of electrical current (varies by electrolyte; typical range is 140-250 amps per square foot).
