Electropolishing Removes Heat Tint & Oxide Scale from Stainless Steel

February 26, 2016
Removing Heat Tint and Oxide Scale from Stainless Steel Parts With Electropolishing

Metal parts develop heat tint and oxide scale during manufacturing when exposed to high heat during welding or heat treating. Electropolishing is an effective process for removing the heat tint and associated oxide scale that results from a part being exposed to high heat. By removing the outer skin of metal, the process exposes the base metal and leaves the part passive and with an aesthetically pleasing finish
