Electropolish

What is Electropolish?

Electropolishing is a finish that removes a thin layer of material from the surface and leaves behind a bright, smooth, clean surface. Instead of electroplating, this process removes microscopic imperfections and reduces surface roughness.

Electropolish is also referred to in prints as "Anodic Polishing" "Electrolytic Polishing" and "Electrochemical Polishing"

Typical removal is .0002" or as much as .0015"

Available finishes include Bright and Matte
