Electropolishing
Pharmalab provides the option of electropolishing to all its clients on request. Electropolishing becomes essential when a design requires a metal finish that demands smoothness that cannot be obtained by standard mechanical polishing. A surface can generally be improved to approximately one half the initial surface measurement. Some surfaces obtained by electropolishing can become non-particulating surfaces, i.e. so smooth that the particles cannot be entrapped or adhered to the metal.
In this process iron is removed from the surface of the component while the percentage of chromium or nickel on the material surface is enhance thereby promoting a bright deburred, corrosion resistant passive surface. Electropolishing leaves a beautiful mirror like finish on most components and the polishing stress relieves the surface of the components.
Electropolishing is provided to all our clients on request.
