Expert and Speedy Electropolishing Services 

Flawless Electropolishing uses some of the largest tanks in Australia, with both our Electropolishing and pickling/passivating tanks being 8 meters long by 2 meters wide by 1.7 meters deep. This means we can complete larger orders and deliver your parts and products faster.

 

Pickling

The process of pickling removes any high temperature scale and any adjacent low chromium layer of metal from the surface of stainless steel by specialist chemicals. This cleans up the surface of your metal for the passivating process and will prevent bacteria and rust generating around the scale and chromium.

We follow ASTM A380 – Practice for Cleaning, Descaling and Passivating of Stainless Steel Parts

 

Passivating

Passivation removes chemicals from the surface of your stainless steel and promotes the formation of a passive film on a freshly created surface. This seals the surface of your stainless steel, helping to protect it from bacteria and oxidisation.

We follow ASTM A380 – Practice for Cleaning, Descaling and Passivating of Stainless Steel Parts

 

Electropolishing

Electropolishing is an electrochemical process similar to, but the reverse of, electroplating. This process smooths the surface on a microscopic level, making it very hard for bacteria to grab hold. We recommend this process for marine and medical parts made from 304, 316, and the 400 series stainless steel to provide long lasting protection.

We follow ISO 15730 and ASTM B912-02 Passivation of Stainless Steels Using Electropolishing
