Electro Polishing

Electro Polishing

At JCM Stainless, our electropolishing process achieves substantial material removal, reaching up to 20 μm, resulting in an exceptionally smooth and glossy finish with a surface quality of Ra ≤ 0.38 μm (15 μin). This meticulous process ensures the highest quality stainless steel products with unparalleled surface refinement.

Benefits of Electro Polishing:

• Enhanced Surface Smoothness: Electropolishing removes microscopic peaks and imperfections on the surface, creating an ultra-smooth, mirror-like finish that reduces friction and resists particle build-up, ideal for applications where cleanliness is critical.
• Corrosion Resistance Improvement: The electropolishing process removes surface contaminants and enriches the chromium layer, enhancing the natural corrosion resistance of stainless steel, prolonging the lifespan of tubes and pipes in harsh environments.
• Improved Aesthetic Appeal: Electropolishing results in a high-gloss, visually appealing surface that improves the look of stainless steel components, making them ideal for architectural and decorative applications.
• Reduced Contamination Risks: By creating a non-porous, smooth surface, electropolishing minimizes areas where bacteria and contaminants can accumulate, which is essential in industries like food processing, pharmaceuticals, and medical equipment.
• Increased Durability and Wear Resistance: The process strengthens the surface layer, making it more resistant to mechanical wear, scratches, and abrasion, ensuring long-lasting performance in demanding applications.
• Efficient Cleaning and Maintenance: The smooth, reflective surface from electropolishing simplifies cleaning and maintenance, reducing downtime and upkeep costs, especially in industrial and sanitary environments.
• Optimized Flow Characteristics: For fluid transfer applications, the electropolished surface enhances flow rates by minimizing drag, essential for maximizing efficiency in piping systems and maintaining a sterile environment in applications like biotech and semiconductor industries.
