Electropolish

The Electropolish process removes oxides and impurities from the surface and leaves a sterile and passive finish. It creates a smoothness that cannot be obtained by mechanical means and leaves a bright reflective surface. Electropolishing reduces surface roughness by one-half. Electropolishing reduces hydrogen which bacteria cannot live without making this process perfect for hospital equipment, food manufacturing and pneumatics

Specs

ASTM B912-02 is the most common Electropolish Specification
