Corrosion resistance is an important indicator in the stainless steel product industry, and electropolishing can provide higher corrosion resistance relative to other technologies. Compared with traditional polishing, electropolishing technology has very significant advantages.

 

      a. Higher Corrosion Resistance — Electropolishing can remove surface contaminants, dissolve inclusions on the surface, thereby improving the corrosion resistance of stainless steel products.

 

      b. Better Physical Appearance Bright finish — By eliminating or minimizing stains and minor scratches,electropolishing can bring out the metal’s natural shine, which enhances the appearance of the piece.

 

      c. Reduced Risk of Sharps or Burrs — Electropolishing can strip sharps and burrs caused by other metal forming processes. It creates more smooth and clean surface. Then metal forms can be made safer for manual use.

 

      d. Ease of Cleaning — Electropolishing facilitates sterilization and maintenance of surfaces. It can reduce product adhesion and contamination buildup. Reduced adhesion can limit product build up and significantly lengthen duty cycles.

 

In railing industry, some metal products of railing accessories need to be used in outdoor and exposed environments, which requires the products to have stronger corrosion resistance and can maintain a clean and smooth appearance for a long time.

 

Electropolishing is the best option to achieve these. Although it costs more than the normal process, electropolished stainless steel products have higher corrosion resistance and better quality, so also have a longer service life, there is no doubt.
