Electropolished Stainless Steel Sheet

Electropolishing for 304 stainless steel 304 stainless steel contains 18 chromium and 8 nickel and is non magnetic.

Electropolished stainless steel sheet.

Preparation before the electropolishing procedure begins the sheet is prepared through degreasing cleaning using an alkaline or other solvent and heat oxides. Electroplating is common process on stainless steel as it enhances its already good corrosion resistance. Here s the process step by step. The electropolished stainless steel parts shown above have no visible signs of rust even after 888 hours of exposure to salt spray.

Our manufacturing process for electropolished stainless steel pipes includes an adequate heat treatment and the examination of chemical and mechanical properties. Stainless steel is known to combine its mechanical properties with a proven corrosion resistance. The reason why this metal works well by being electropolished is because it chemically removes parties at a microscopic level making the steel impervious to rusting over time since it transforms it into a pure metal. Polished stainless steel sheet is available in a brushed or mirror like finish in both 304 and 316 grades.

The electropolishing process smooths and streamlines the microscopic surface of a metal object such as 304 316 and the 400 series stainless steel. As a result the surface of the metal is microscopically featureless with not even the smallest speck of a torn surface remaining. To explain how electropolishing works we ll use a sheet of stainless steel as an example. Euro inox is the european market development asso ciation for stainless steel.

European stainless steel producers national stainless steel development associations development associations of the alloying element industries the prime objectives of euro inox are to create aware ness of the unique properties of stainless steel and to further its use in existing applications and in new mar kets. Ft electropolished stainless steel or copper chamber with compact footprint easily stackable standard left hand door swing field reversible by qualified service support minimal easy to clean assembly with smooth inner chamber and rounded corners for easy cleaning. Electropolishing stainless steel is popular for these applications because it provides several crucial benefits for custom wire and sheet metal forms that are relevant to the industry. Stainless steel applications that require high resistance to corrosion for food semiconductor and biopharmaceutical equipment often specify electropolishing.

The most popular choice for cosmetic and architectural applications is our 4 brushed finish which is ideal for high traffic areas as it is durable and great at concealing scratches along with having superior corrosion resistance and temperature resistance. Here s a quick explanation of the stainless steel electropolishing procedure and its benefits for pharmaceutical and medical applications. Members of euro inox include.
