Often used to manufacture parts that are exposed to high-temperature environments, Haynes 214 & Haynes 230 benefit from electropolishing. Exposure to welding, heat-treating and use in high-heat applications can all compromise parts over time, including those as resilient as Haynes 214 & Haynes 230. Electropolishing parts after manufacturing eliminates even the microscopic imperfections and initiation sites for corrosion that cause unexpected part failure.
Electropolishing is an electrochemical process that removes a uniform amount of surface material from a part. When it removes this surface material, it eliminates embedded contaminants and imperfections as well as discoloration caused by heat-treating operations. Heat treating and welding can leave behind oxide scale, which compromises the protective qualities for which Haynes 214 and Haynes 230 are known. Electropolishing is an effective means for removing heat tint and scale from heat treating and welding.
Frequently used for their strength at high temperatures, these two alloys benefit from the enhanced dependability that comes with electropolishing. Haynes 214 & Haynes 230 can be electropolished to remove any surface imperfections that remain after manufacturing, which increases their longevity. Because they are often used in such critical applications as furnaces, turbine engines and aerospace manufacturing, parts made with these two alloys must be finished to perfection to ensure that they meet their full potential.

From implantable devices to surgical instruments, electropolishing is a single-process treatment that results in biocompatible, safe and ultra clean parts.
We offer aerospace vendors and original equipment manufacturers our signature metal finishing services to increase fatigue-resistance for their metal parts, rendering them capable of withstanding the stress and corrosion that comes with long-term use.
Our strict adherence to industry standards ensures that pharmaceutical components are electropolished in accordance with ASTM B912 and ASME BPE specifications. These products are clean and smooth, corrosion resistant and contaminant free.
Corrosion resistance and microfinish improvement are essential for critical automotive parts, making electropolishing an increasingly beneficial option for automakers.
Our metal finishing services help increase corrosion resistance for these parts, and by removing the outermost layer of metal withelectropolishing the durability and longevity of these appliance components is increased.
Electropolishing materials for this industry eliminates the buildup of bacterial biofilms, as well as keeping the equipment free of contaminants like Salmonella. Electropolishing delivers the level of sanitation required by a number of regulatory agencies.
From robotics to mobile equipment, the uses of electropolishing in the hydraulics and pneumatics industry are many. By helping prevent premature part failure, electropolishing reduces downtime and increases the life cycle of these components.
Improving conductivity and performance is just one benefit electropolishing offers for electronics parts. The surface finish is improved by as much as 50%, removing imperfections from the material without material removal.
Electropolishing provides an ultrasmooth, ultraclean surface, and improves corrosion resistance for metal fasteners.
Read Able Electropolishing’s guide on passivation, pickling, and electropolishing to learn about the benefits and drawbacks of each for your metal parts.
Across industries, electropolishing is the go-to metal finishing method for parts with no room for error. From aerospace to medical manufacturing, engineers rely on electropolishing to eliminate surface defects and create a hygienic, passive and ultra-smooth finish with improved fit, function and durability.
Electropolishing works by removing a microscopically precise layer of material from the surface of metal parts.
