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.

Send us your parts/prototypes and we’ll electropolish them for free – we’ll even pay for the shipping! Samples are processed in 24-48 hours.
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.
If you’re manufacturing parts with 440C stainless steel and relying on passivation to get the finish you need, you may be overlooking an opportunity to dramatically improve the corrosion resistance of your parts.
While electropolishing is best known for the results it achieves as the last step in the process for finishing critical metal parts, it can also be an interim step for improving the results of parts that will undergo plating.
The biocompatibility of medical devices, implants and instruments to ensure that every part that comes into contact with the human body poses no risk of irritation or harm is a fundamental requirement for medical manufacturers.
For every successful project at Able Electropolishing, there is a meticulous, high-quality process at work behind the scenes. Our clients rely on us for precise and consistent results, customized to the demanding needs of industries like medical device manufacturing, food and beverage production – and industries like yours.
