Techmetals offers electropolishing (EP) and TM-BioBrite
(medical grade validated electropolishing EP) which can be performed on a variety of different metals; 300 SS, 17-4 SS, 400 SS, Copper Alloys, Nickel alloy, Cobalt alloys, Low Carbon Steels, Aluminum Alloys, and other Precipitating Hardening Grades of Stainless steel. As part of Techmetals Inc.’s commitment superior quality all of our electropolish processes are validated for processing. An on site research and develop facility allows Techmetals to tailor our electropolishing to specific customer and parts needs; this allows for new Electropolish processes and specialty procedures to be developed upon customer request. For a list of available medical processes at Techmetals follow the link to our

Electropolishing is an electrochemical etching and passivation process that is used to deburr, smooth, and brighten parts. Electrolytic reactions cause ionic conduction resulting in the removal of metal particles from parts. Metal dissolution reactions with the electrolyte form a viscous resistive layer film at the surface of the metal; the viscous layer is thicker over the valleys than over the peaks of the surface. This causes deburring, smoothing, and brightening by removal of material from the peaks and leveling the surface. Electropolishing is typically used in industries for de-burring of tools/ equipment, visual enhancement, passivation, improved corrosion resistance, surface inspection, and for functionality purposes.
