Our reputation is built on processes that don’t just work – they work with the repeatable, consistently high-quality results that our aerospace, medical and other customers demand. For us, however, consistency in the quality of results means processes that are anything but generic.
We customize the process for every part that we finish, from custom tooling and racking to customized formulations that ensure that no matter how big or small, how fragile or intricate, every metal part that we finish reaches the same microscopically-precise surface finish, free of burrs, microcracks or other surface imperfections that affect the fit, finish, function and safety of metal parts.
Our Free Sample offer is equally customized, allowing customers to see for themselves how electropolishing works in the very specific context of their part. From the very first step, we put our expertise to work to determine the precise requirements for finishing your sample part.
It starts with a one-on-one Lunch and Learn meeting to talk through the case studies, the technology and the metal finishing challenges for your specific part, including review of the diagrams and specifications to ensure the best outcome.
The sample part process is then fully engineered, including the construction of custom tooling and racking. As part of our Finish First process, we can work with your design and prototyping team if product changes are needed to ensure the highest-quality finishing outcome.
Sample parts are processed on full production equipment—not test equipment—and processed within 24-48 hours. Results will often include detailed images of the final finish under magnification.
Often as part of a WebEx review, the process is further refined to determine the optimal amount of material removal based on your requirements and part tolerances. If we need to re-run your samples to hone in on the perfect processing parameters, you can count on us to do so.
It’s a meticulous process designed to give you confidence that your parts will have the highest quality surface finish for optimal fit, function, durability, and corrosion resistance whether the finished product is a flight-critical aerospace component or a lifesaving medical implant.

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.

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.
