Electropolished Metal Parts
Why do companies in Iowa, from coast-to-coast and around the world ship their critical metal parts to Able Electropolishing’s state-of-the-art facility in Chicago for microfinishing improvement?

Because Able is the largest electropolisher in the world, supporting more metal alloys than any other company. Our 50,000 square foot facility in Chicago with 22 production lines is manned by 150 employees and 13 robots, working 24 hours a day, 5 days a week.

Able Electropolishing is ISO 9001:2015, ISO 13485:2016 and AS9100:2016 certified and can handle production runs from 1 to 1 million parts. Custom tooling, racking and video operator instructions for your parts help ensure quality and consistency.

We will electropolish your parts to resist corrosion, prevent pathogen contamination and optimize them for cleanability. Electropolishing offers the following benefits:

Electropolishing is 30x more corrosion resistant than using passivation alone – and electropolished parts are passivated as part of the process.

When is Stainless Steel Passivation Required?

While stainless steel is known for its corrosion resistance, it contains iron, which is susceptible to corrosion, especially if parts are frequently exposed to moisture or harsh environments. Contamination left behind by machining processes can also impede the corrosion resistance…

Electropolishing Specialist vs. a Local Metal Finishing Company

Electropolishing is a highly controlled electrochemical process that directly impacts surface integrity, corrosion resistance, cleanliness, and performance.

Why Electropolishing is the Aerospace Solution for EDM Recast

In aerospace manufacturing, electrical discharge machining (EDM) is often the only practical way to create the intricate shapes, micro-features, and tight-tolerance geometries required in high-performance parts. From fuel-system components to actuator housings, landing-gear hardware, and propulsion assemblies, EDM enables precision…

Deburring Metal Parts with Precision

Burrs—those unwanted raised edges, micro-protrusions, and sharp fragments left behind after machining, stamping, or laser cutting—are a common challenge in metal manufacturing.
