Corrosion-Resistant Stainless Steel Treatments Stainless steel is known for its natural corrosion resistance—but in many demanding environments, that’s not always enough. Whether you’re manufacturing components for medical, marine, aerospace, or food processing...
Why Machined Stainless Steel Needs Passivation Stainless steel is valued for its natural corrosion resistance—but machining can diminish that advantage. Processes like cutting, grinding, and turning can embed free iron into the surface or disturb the protective...
Electropolishing vs. Passivation: Understanding the Differences When it comes to enhancing the corrosion resistance, cleanliness, and surface finish of stainless steel, two common processes are Electropolishing and Passivation. While both treatments improve the...
Our latest feature in Products Finishing highlights how bulk electropolishing enhances corrosion resistance, biocompatibility, and performance for surgical jaws Precision and efficiency are critical in medical device manufacturing, especially for surgical instruments....
How to Passivate Stainless Steel Welds Stainless steel is known for its corrosion resistance and strength, which makes it a go-to material in many demanding applications. However, stainless steel welds can be a weak point when it comes to corrosion resistance. During...
How Durable is an Electropolished Surface? When it comes to selecting materials for applications in demanding environments, durability is a crucial factor. Electropolishing is a popular surface treatment method that enhances the performance of metals, particularly...
