Electropolishing is an electro chemical process that is almost the opposite of electroplating. Layers of a steel surface are removed as opposed to added. The surface properties are also enhanced meaning that you can achieve the ultimate in corrosion resistance, ultra-cleanliness, efficient and attractive surfaces.

Corrosion resistance is commonly the most significant characteristic of a stainless steel, but can also be the most difficult to assess for a specific application. General corrosion resistance is comparatively easy to determine, but real environments are usually more complex. An evaluation of other pertinent variables such as fluid velocity, stagnation, turbulence, galvanic couples, welds, crevices, deposits, impurities, variation in temperature, and variation from planned operating chemistry among others issues need to be factored in to selecting the proper stainless steel for a specific environment.

To ensure a stainless steel fabrication or components corrosion resistance is optimized prior to delivery, it should undergo a passivation stage. Thorough pre-cleaning is essential to ensure grease, soil and scale to not inhibit the natural materials ability to form the inert passive layer. Traditionally carried out with corrosive high oxidising agents, all surfaces are either sprayed or immersed in a solution which dissolves Iron and readily oxidises the Chromium. This rapidly forms the inert layer of the material and creates the critical surface property relied upon in service. Read more about Passivating and Desmuting Stainless here.

In industries such as medical, surgical and pharmaceutical; ongoing cleaning programs must be employed stringently to keep the spread of disease to a minimum. Both existing and new equipment, should be sanitized to minimize the effect of the above. Surface finishing and treatment is necessary to obliterate surface contamination.

Whether destined for another surface finishing process or going for dispatch, all fabrications and components should be thoroughly cleaned after manufacture. Sometimes it is necessary to clean assemblies in between manufacturing steps to ensure contamination is not an issue. This can often be a problem when leading onto heat treatment or welding operations, as surface contaminants are easily absorbed into the upper surface layers and extremely difficult to remove.

The thermal oxides from any heat treatment process and welding are mainly, iron oxides of various states. They will readily corrode and in almost every application, will contaminate product material with which they contact. The removal of these oxides is paramount in order to maintain the surface properties of stainless steel. Read more about pickling stainless steel and descaling stainless steel here.
