Electropolishing is an electrochemical surface finishing process in which metal is removed in a controlled manner at the ionic level.
The process smooths microscopic surface irregularities, improving cleanability, reducing bacterial adhesion, and giving the surface a bright, reflective finish.
Electropolishing is used for deburring, enhancing surface gloss, and strengthening the passive layer, thereby significantly improving corrosion resistance. The process reveals a metallurgically pure and flawless surface, free from mechanical or thermal stresses.
It is suitable for most stainless, acid-resistant, and duplex steels, as well as for components of various sizes and shapes, with limitations defined only by tank and power supply capacity.
Commonly applied standards include ISO 15730 and ASTM B912-13.
We offer a range of electropolishing solutions designed to meet the needs of different industries.
The treatment is ideal for pipes and pump housings in e.g. petrochemistry, nuclear power plants, pharmaceutical industry, semiconductor industry, paper industry, and food industry.
The treatment is perfect for surfaces, containers, filters, cooling water pipelines, heat exchangers, clean room equipment and other equipment with top hygienic requirements.
The treatment is suitable for equipment used in mining exploration, cooling elements, heat exchangers, valves, condensers, and other applications that are made of stainless steels in power plants.
It is the essential treatment for drilling rigs, pipelines, pumps, valves and other equipment that require maximum corrosion resistance.
It brings elegance and beauty into consumer products and other objects and structures made of stainless steel.
INOX Finland optimises the properties of stainless steel with chemical treatments. We specialise in bringing up the best in stainless steel. By selecting the right materials and optimising their qualities, we are able to produce the most outstanding results.
