The Benefits of Electropolished Tubing

Improved Corrosion Resistance:

Electro-polishing increases the thickness of the oxide layer on a part, making it more resistant to corrosion and environmental attacks.

 

Improved Surface Finish:

Electropolishing removes material from a part’s surface, resulting in better adhesion of paint or other coatings. This means that you’ll have less rust and oxidation on your parts because they’ll be smoother after electro-polishing.

Reduced Product Adhesion & Ease of Cleaning

Electro-polishing can help reduce product buildup on your parts by removing any dirt or residue before it has time to build up over time causing damage or clogging filters during use.

De-burring

In addition to improving corrosion resistance and increasing surface finish, electro-polishing can also help reduce sharp edges or burrs left behind during manufacturing processes which can cause scratches or damage to the material.

Appearance

As no tools come into touch with the item, there is no possibility of directional polishing lines forming. The material is electrochemical reaction treated, resulting in a microscopic examination smooth and extremely glossy surface.

Process of Electropolished Tubing

Surface preparation – The removal of dirt, debris, paints, and oxides from the pipe surface must be done using solvents or alkaline and pickling. A pickling bath is usually performed using hydrochloric and sulfuric acid to remove the oxides and the alkaline layer.

 

Electrolytic solution – The ideal electrolytic solution for (316L) stainless steel is a mixture of orthophosphoric acid and sulfuric acid which may have varying concentrations depending on the application.

 

Passivation – Passivation may be required after electropolishing, for instance in the case of austenitic stainless steel, to restore the corrosion-resistant properties of the metal. Dilute nitric acid is the ideal solution for passivation treatment.

 

Post-electropolishing treatment– It is important to rinse and clean the electropolished stainless steel pipe to remove the residual solution for hygienic operation. Water alone cannot completely rinse the solution, so it needs a nitric acid treatment. The residual nitric acid can then be washed off with cold water, followed by hot-water rinse and drying.

Application of Electropolished Tubing
 

For Clean Rooms
Clean rooms demand non-contaminating and non-particulating surfaces. Electropolishing is the ultimate finish for clean room tables, chairs, waste containers, light fixtures, exposed electrical conduit and outlet boxes, manufacturing and processing equipment, and other metallic components used in this application.

 

For Food & Beverage Processing
Electropolishing provides the smooth, easy cleaning and cosmetically pleasing surfaces demanded by this industry coupled with unmatched non-contamination and sanitary qualities. The process reduces oxidation and contamination of stainless steel components used in kitchen, dairy and automatic food processing equipment, and descales food and beverage containers.

 

For Medical Applications
For many years, the medical field has been a beneficiary of electropolishing. All hospital, medical and surgical equipment (scalpels, clamps, saws, bone and joint implants, prosthetic devices, burn beds and rehabilitation whirlpools) should be electropolished to facilitate cleaning and achieve high levels of non-contamination.

 

For Machined Parts
All screws, bolts, washers, valve stems and bodies, and other machined parts benefit from electropolishing. The process provides a number of advantages, including deburring and stress relieving of the surface, easy clean up, a non-stick, non-contaminating, non-particulating finish, and a pleasing cosmetic appearance.

 

For Nuclear Applications
Electropolishing is a critical finish in the nuclear industry. Used to polish surfaces located in radioactive environments, electropolishing reduces contamination pick-up and increases the effectiveness of conventional decontamination techniques.

 

 

FAQ

 

 

Q: Is electropolishing better than passivation?

A: Only electropolishing can remove burrs, cracks and other surface defects with microscopic precision and Ra improvement of up to 50% Electropolishing can be used on far more metal alloys than passivation even when there are low levels of chromium and nickel – this includes aluminum, Nitinol and titanium.

Q: What is electropolished tubing?

A: Understanding Electropolish Tubing
Electropolishing is a process that removes a microscopic layer of material from the surface of a metal object, resulting in a smooth and shiny finish. This process can be used on tubing made from different metals, including stainless steel and titanium.

Q: Do you need to passivate after electropolishing?

A: Chemical passivation is required after the electropolishing process occurs since electropolishing passivates the surface only to a condition typically attained by phosphoric acid.

Q: How to electropolish steel?

A: The Electropolishing Process
Electropolishing stainless steel involves the racking of parts, then immersing them into a temperature-controlled bath of electrolyte which is composed of a mixture of sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid. Parts are positively charged during electropolishing using DC power.
