Many stainless-steel automotive parts must undergo passivation to ensure they are adequately corrosion-resistant and not prone to early failure, two factors critical for performance and a long ...

The field of surface finishing is characterized by demands for higher quality with, at the same time, an increasing need for process consistency, traceability and resource efficiency. Frequently, this ...

An associate at Fort Wayne Anodizing finishes the electropolishing process and prepares the parts for anodizing. Electropolishing smooths, polishes, deburrs, and cleans steel, stainless steel, and ...

Mechanical Engineering Associate Professor Pradeep Menezes and his colleagues have published the article “Ultrasonic assisted electropolishing to reduce the surface roughness of laser powder bed ...

An SEM image shows a cobalt-chrome surface after high-voltage electropolishing. Ultrapolishing provides a clean surface for implants, instruments, and invasive medical devices. The process enables the ...

Table I. (Click to Enlarge) Roughness parameters after differing processes, from atomic force microscopy. Blood-contacting implants, such as stents, filters, and sutures, are part of a very special ...

Harrison Electropolishing is a leading provider of electropolishing, passivation, oxygen cleaning, mechanical polishing and pickling services to improve surface finish and resistance to corrosion.

All manufacturers know they need to add “value” to their output, to satisfy and hold on to their customers, and to attract new ones. For machine shops and fabricators, “added value” frequently comes ...
