What is the Electropolishing and Polishing?
Electropolishing is an electrochemical finishing process that removes a thin layer of material from a metal part, typically stainless steel. The process leaves a shiny, smooth, ultra-clean surface finish.
Polishing is a finishing method that uses an abrasive material to smooth surfaces. When polished, the surfaces of metallic objects are freed of defects and become more reflective and shiny, enhancing their appearance. .
Difference between Electropolishing and Polishing
Electropolishing | Polishing |
---|---|
Through electropolishing to have smooth and bright metal surface | Through abrasion,cutting and deformation to have smooth and bright metal surface |
Passivation film is formed on the metal surfaceN | No passivation film is formed |
Complicated shapes and small workpieces can be processed | Only to make the simple shape metal parts |
Fast production speed with cheaper cost | Slow production speed with higher cost |
