Abstract

In this study, we intended to extend the life of electropolishing solution through the reduction of electric resistance by improving the electrolysis efficiency. The optimum conditions were obtained by half round bus bar and Taguchi method. As the main control factors in the electropolishing process, current density, polishing time, electrolyte temperature and flow rate were selected. The electrolyte temperature was the most significant to the electrolysis efficiency. The optimum conditions for the life extension of electropolishing solution were as follows: current density, $45A/dm^2$; polishing time, 6 min; electrolyte temperature, $70^{\circ}C$; flow rate, 11 L/min. As a results of ANOVA of SN ratios, it was found that the electrolyte temperature was significant factor at the 90% confidence level.
