Electropolishing is a finishing process that is electrochemical based. It removes a thin layer of material from the top of the metal part mainly stainless steel or alloys that are similar. This process will help get a smooth, shiny and clear finish to the thing getting electropolished. An electropolishing machine is used for doing electropolishing. In electropolishing, the top mental surface that is removed is controlled by some of the following factors such as:

• Electrolyte temperature
• Exposure time length
• Electrical current density
• Metal alloy composition
• Chemical composition of the electrolyte

These factors will affect the removal of the top layer. Electropolishing is a very common procedure and is used in a variety of industries including surgeons and dentists, appliance manufacturers, food, beverages processors, pharmaceuticals processors, aerospace manufacturers, 3D printing, semiconductor manufacturers, automakers, race industry etc. It is one process but has its uses in many industries. Many types of metals can be electropolished by electropolishing machines such as stainless steel, aluminium, cobalt chrome, brass, copper alloys, nickel alloys, titanium, nitinol etc.

There are various benefits that electropolishing provides such as:

• Decorative appearance
• Smoothness at the microscopic level
• Ultra-clean finish
• Defects from the surface are removed
• Deburring
• Friction is reduced
• Useful for fragile parts
• Oxide scale is eliminated
• Great for complex parts
• Control of size

Electropolishing is a great procedure and can come in handy in various industries. It has numerous benefits to offer. All one needs to do electropolishing of any part or material is electropolishing machine.
