Electropolishing Removes Burrs

Electropolishing kills two birds with one stone, so to speak. Not only does it provide all the benefits of polishing metal, but it is also a deburring process as well. Why is this? During the electropolishing process, the electric current is greatest at the high points of the surface profile. Therefore, more metal particles are removed from the high points of the metal surface than the low ones. Naturally, the surface of the metal eventually evens out, leaving a perfectly smooth and polished surface. So why is electropolishing superior to having y0ur metal deburred at another company? Usually, small and fragile metal parts are not suited for grinding, vibration, and other deburring techniques. The metal is at great risk of being harmed. Electropolishing, however, eliminates this risk by gently and effectively deburring the surface of the metal, taking out sharp and rough edges and surfaces.
