Electropolishing Service

For aluminum anodizing, electropolishing is a part of anodizing process, but electropolishing is not just use in only for anodizing process, but also use for other alloy metal like stainless steel. Electropolishing definition also known as electrochemical polishing, it mean that the process of electropolishing using electrolytic system. Electropolishing is removed all the dirt that stick on the surface of aluminum. The work of electropolishing like the reverse of electroplating process, workpiece that usually is placed as Anode then moved to Katode position.

Electropolishing also removed small scratches on the surface of aluminum, burr and unwanted sharp edges of aluminum surface. Electropolishing on other metal also can do and will work and function the same way to aluminum metal. Electropolishing can work for most 300 and 400 series stainless steel alloys. Then finishing use satin to mirror bright can be produced by controlling timer, temperature, or both.

Electropolishing already applied to many application in the metal finishing industry because it can be work very simple and the result make very satisfied. Electropolishing even can be applied into complex object shaped. For example electropolishing for stainless steel tank for washing machine and also in stainless steel surgical devices. Other application of electropolishing are in preparation of thin metal for transmission electron microscopy because by using of electropolishing does make mechanical deformation of the surface metal. Equipment like Ultra high vacuum (UHV) components are also need be electropolished in order have smooth surface to improve the ability of vacuum pressure work, and pumping speed.

Electropolishing of aluminum will produce end product with high bright finished surface, by electropolishing process also will remove the bad scracth on the surface of aluminum. The simple process are by dipping aluminum metal into the chemcals solution as part of electrode of the system. To make perfect process on the electropolishing on the bath need to stir or agitate to ensure of high quality finished.
