Electropolishing is a specialized electrochemical process that removes a microscopically thin layer from the surface of stainless steel. This technique not only produces a visually striking, bright finish but also offers numerous technological advantages.
What is Electropolishing?
The workpiece is immersed in an electrolytic bath, and a controlled electric current is applied to remove the topmost uneven micro-layer of the metal. This results in a smooth, bright, and seamless surface that is easy to clean—all achieved without material loss or mechanical damage.
Why is it Beneficial for Stainless Steel?
Mirror-Smooth, Bright Finish: Provides a premium appearance, repels dust, and is easy to clean.
-
-
Excellent Hygiene: The smooth, crack-free surface prevents the accumulation of contaminants and bacteria.
-
Enhanced Corrosion Resistance: Removes residual contaminants from manufacturing and renews the passive layer.
-
Precise Contour Preservation: Does not deform the workpiece, ensuring uniform surfaces even on complex geometries.
-
Where is it Applied?

-
-
Food and pharmaceutical industry equipment
-
Critical stainless steel components
-
Internal surfaces of tanks, pipelines, and valves
-
