Electrolytic polishing of stainless steel

Electropolishing is like a reversal of the electrolytic coating process: it provides a stress-free removal of material. Because protruding peaks and burrs on the surface are levelled first, the process ensures an overall reduction in surface roughness. The process is particularly suited to steels that are capable of being polished and non-rust steels with a low non-metal percentage.

Advantages:

This results in a high-gloss, extremely decorative finish with high metallic purity.
The surface displays passive behaviour and product deposits can be reduced. Corrosion resistance is significantly increased by means of the highly polished surface.

Areas of application (examples):

• Medical technology
• Food industry
• Chemical industry
