Abstract

In electropolishing, the ion from the surface of the metal is eliminated by means of an electrical potential and current. Electropolishing is being generally known as a replacement for mechanical finishing. In addition to making a surface smoother, it is a more visible means of brightening, deburring, cleaning, stress-relieving and improving the physical characteristics of most metals and alloys. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to investigate the characteristic of electropolishing STS304 and A12024 in terms of current density, polishing time and electrode gap, etc.
