Electropolishing Eliminates Embedded Surface Contaminants

January 28, 2015
Remove Imbedded & Surface Contaminants with Electropolishing

If metal surfaces are kept clean and have a sufficient supply of oxygen to maintain their protective layer, they will usually maintain resistance to imbedded and surface contaminants for some time. However, corrosion can always occur with the severity dependent on how stable the environment is.
