Electro Polished is a “reverse plating” process that uses an electrochemical solution to remove the outer layer of stainless steel pipe. By stripping away a uniform layer of stainless steel tube, the electropolishing process also removes embedded contaminants, heat tint and oxide scale, micro cracks, burrs, pits, and other surface defect that can compromise the performance and durability of a part

Electropolished Stainless Steel Tubing is especially done on 300 Dan 400 series stainless steel that improves a part’s corrosion resistance which leaves a lasting bright finish. Unlike passivation electropolishing can be performed on all varieties of stainless steel which gives its parts of all kinds corrosion resistance superiorto passivation alone—electropolished parts are 30 times more corrosion resistant than those that are passivated. The process of dissolving a uniform layer of surface metal is more effective and aggressive, because it is highly controlled and it can be used to remove as little as .02″ of surface material.
