Armstrong Electropolishing Advantages
Appearance: Electropolishing gives metal a lustrous, bright finish that enhances its natural shine. It can also eliminate or minimize stains, heat discoloration, and minor scratches.
Corrosion resistance: Electropolishing removes surface imperfections, which makes it harder for moisture and contaminants to adhere to the metal and cause corrosion.
Reduced friction: Electropolishing can reduce friction between moving metal parts.
Improved heat transfer: Electropolishing can improve heat transfer efficiency in heat exchangers.
Easier sanitation: Electropolishing can make it easier to clean parts and components, sometimes by as much as 50 percent.
Improved weldability: Electropolishing can improve weldability without affecting surface hardness or introducing stresses to parts.
Non-mechanical process: Electropolishing is a non-mechanical process, so no tools come in contact with the part, which means no polishing lines.
No risk of distortion: Electropolishing does not risk distorting the material.
What is Electropolishing?
Electropolishing is an electrochemical or “reverse plating” process that removes the outer layer of “skin” on a metal part to address microscopic imperfections within its finish.
