Electropolishing is...scientifically... the anodic ion dissolution of metal in an electrolyte solution. By explaining the mechanism by which electropolishing works will help answer the question  ...

Passivation is the process of making a material "passive" in relation to another material prior to using the materials together. Using a different combination of chemicals for different metals the part ...

This is an abrasive one directional "line" surface finish. Typically what you would see on a stainless steel elevator door. The standard used to create this finish is generally 180 grit ...

Chilco is located at 1449 Charlotte Road, North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Take the No.1 Hwy North over the Second Narrows (Iron Workers Memorial) Bridge. Take the Main Street or second ...

For in house orders typically one to a few days . On-site jobs depend on complexity and current scheduling.

Stainless steel does not "rust" or oxidize the same as the standard mild steel we are familiar with. If you can see rust on your stainless it is most commonly due ...

Yes! for Electropolishing it is ASTM-B912 For passivating it is ASTM-A967 For Cleaning, Descaling, Pickling it is ASTM-A380

Passivation is a non-electrolytic process which removes iron, iron oxides and other impurities from the surface, rendering stainless steel more rust-proof. Electropolishing is an electrolytic process which dissolves ...

Welding Scale is the staining and discoloration as a result of welding. If not removed this area will be subject to corrosion. Passivating, Pickling, and Electropolishing will completely remove weld scale, ...

The process by which a #8 or "mirror polish" is created is by a series of progressive steps. Depending on the condition of the part, various increasing grit abrasives in succession ...

Unfortunately Not, we can however chemially clean and mechanically prepare parts for Electro-PLATING. We can also reccommend a good plater.

The main difference between Electropolishing and Electroplating is: Electro-Polishing REMOVES surface metal by ionic dissolution. Electro-Plating DEPOSITS/ADDS a layer of metal onto ...

Depending on the part one of two steps is nessessary. Do nothing, just bring it in. If the part is constructed of ...

Use a Magnet! You can tell the difference between 300 series Stainless Steels and mild carbon steel by magnetism. If the magnet "sticks" or is attracted to the metal ...

Standard Stainless Steel Finishes No. 0: Hot rolled, annealed, thicker plates No. 1: Hot rolled, annealed and passivated No. 2D: Cold rolled, ...

Material removal by electropolishing is directly proportional to: process time, temperature, and current passed through the work piece. By manipulating different combinations of these perameters, the amount of material removed by ...
