VITAL INDUSTRY EXPERIENCE

  • We have more than 30 years of experience in the industry.
  • Experience is vital for electropolishing, because if expertly done, it alone can improve the surface finish many-fold, and greatly improve the passive surface.
  • Our experienced engineering team works with the customer’s design requirements to allow for the proper material removal.

IMPROVE FATIGUE

  • Our electropolishing systems can improve fatigue by removing cold working stresses, heat affected zones (HAZ), and microcracks.
  • Our electropolishing systems can also be used to soften edges, stress risers, maximize fatigue resistance, improve surface smoothness, luster, and enhance passivity.
  • It is often considered the standard finishing process for medical implants.

DEDICATED PROCESS DEVELOPMENT TEAMS

  • Our experienced team of engineers works within our Process Development Centers (PDCs) to develop and validate cost-effective manufacturing methods required to produce prototype parts for our customers’ medtech product innovations.
