Why does stainless steel rust? The science behind stainless steel corrosion Because of its resistance to corrosion, stainless steel is widely used in industries such as semiconductor, food service, marine and medical devices. However, even the most durable metals are...
Stainless Steel Electropolisher New England Electropolishing – a stainless steel electropolisher setting the standards for the stainless steel electropolishing industy. Electropolishing is the go to method for achieving stainless steel passivation, but there are many...
How Much Will Electropolishing Improve the Surface Finish on My Part? Electropolishing will reduce a part’s Ra by 10 to 30% depending on the starting finish. Generally speaking, the lower the Ra or RMS is prior to electropolishing, the lower the percentage in Ra and...
What’s the Difference Between Electropolishing and Passivation? Electropolishing and passivation are both used to enhance stainless steel surfaces—but they’re not the same. This quick guide breaks down the key differences to help you choose the right process for your...
Citric Acid Passivation for Underwater Load Cells and Torque Sensors In demanding environments where corrosion resistance is critical, the surface treatment of stainless steel components can mean the difference between long-term performance and premature failure....
