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 benefits an electropolisher can bring to your stainless steel manufacturing process. An experienced electropolisher can help to passivate your parts, improve aesthetic appearance, improve product durability and make parts easier to clean and sterilize.
Stainless Steel Electropolisher
Electropolishing is an electrochemical process that removes a thin layer of metal or “skin” from the surface of stainless steel parts. This results in a smooth, uniform surface that is free from imperfections and “free iron” left behind from the manufacturing process. To achieve consistent repeatable results, you need to work with an experienced electropolisher that understands your specific needs and part tolerances.
Another advantage offered by electropolishing is improved product efficacy and longevity. When a surface is smooth and passivated it is less prone to wear and tear, friction and scratching. This can extend the lifespan of stainless steel components and parts.
There are several factors that need to be considered when using electropolishing to achieve your needs. It pays to work with an experienced electropolisher who not only understands the process, but takes the time to understand your specific needs and devise methods and procedures to ensure consistent repeatable results across every part, every time.
If you are considering using an electroplisher for your stainless steel passivation needs, please contact the experts at New England Electropolishing. They will be happy to answer any questions you may have and offer a free sample part electropolished and delivered back to you at no charge.
