Electropolishing
Electropolishing is a stainless steel polishing process based on the electrolytic removal of metal. Electropolishing achieves maximum cleanliness and passivation of stainless steel. Typically applied to surfaces with roughness factors of 20µ inch. Ra for the pharmaceutical industry.
WHAT DOES THE PROCESS INVOLVE?
The process involves removing material from metal surfaces using an acid bath.
Electropolishing levels out surface irregularities resulting from a metallographic structure altered by mechanical polishing and removes a layer of approximately half a thousandth of an inch (or more, depending on the desired finish), which typically harbors abrasive residues.
It is important to emphasize that the degree of uniformity and reflectivity will depend on the original finish of the material, and that the degree of "brightness" is not directly associated with the level of passivation.
QUALITIES OF ELECTROPOLISHING
-
Easy inspection, cleaning and maintenance

SPECTROMETER READINGS
Do you doubt the composition of a steel product you acquired? At OGMAN, we can help you verify it! We offer a spectrometer analysis service to confirm the steel type.

Contact us to request this service and verify your material.
-
This service is intended to identify and provide information about the steel composition based on the elements detected by the equipment*. To perform the analysis, the part must have a minimum dimension of 1 inch x 1 inch and an appropriate surface shape for testing. We cannot guarantee the analysis of parts that do not meet these requirements.
-
Results are presented in a PDF report and corresponds only to the analyzed sample.
-
Results should not be interpreted as confirmation for a full batch, the entirety of a piece, a variety of products with the same serial number, all the items contained in a purchase order, or any part other than the analyzed sample.
*Note: The table shows the alloys that can currently be identified through our spectrometer analysis service.
