For more than 58 years, Able Electropolishing has provided electropolishing, passivation and our unique Brite Passivation services for a wide range of industries. From high tech applications for military helicopters in aerospace to medical implants and surgical instruments to steel racks for food processing, we have a long and proud history of helping engineers improve the fit, function and aesthetics of their components.

Improving Performance Across Industries

Unlike standard passivation services, our electropolishing process improves the performance of metal parts by removing a precise, highly controlled level of surface material. By removing that material, we eliminate the burrs and imperfections that make a part’s performance suffer. This also rids the metal of rugged surface areas where contaminants and moisture get trapped and lead to corrosion, improving the longevity of the part with a micro finish.

Electropolishing Small Parts

Electropolishing is an electrochemical process that uses precision science, not manual or mechanical polishing, to perfect metal parts of all shapes and sizes. Because of this, it can be used on parts big and small, including large batches of tiny, complex or otherwise delicate parts. Our exclusive Brite Passivation service—our lightest form of electropolishing—is ideal for removing the most minute layer of surface material possible, allowing us to give even the smallest, most fragile parts our signature finish.

Achieving Uniform Surface Finish

Our electropolishing services allow us to treat the surface area of a part uniformly, even if it has a complex and intricate design. Unlike mechanical polishes that can’t achieve perfectly uniform finishes on complex parts, the electropolishing process ensures an even, uniform finish across a part’s entire surface area.

The benefits unique to our electropolishing services make it the ideal solution for a variety of industries.

Electropolishing for Improved EV Battery Parts

Whatever the bumps along the road, the future of the automobile industry is electric – and the future of the EV auto industry is built on the reliability, safety and performance of its batteries.

New Guide: Solution to Metal Surface Problems

From stubborn burrs and other microscopic defects to cleanability, corrosion, and premature part failure, metal surface issues are a common manufacturing challenge. 

Reduce Pathogen Risk in Food Processing

Metal parts used in food processing machinery, including cutting blades, mixing tanks, and fittings face constant exposure to corrosive substances such as salts, acids and moisture, in addition to aggressive cleaning methods.

Custom Racking for Precision Electropolishing

Manufacturers that specify electropolishing for metal parts used in medical devices, pharmaceutical production equipment, semiconductors and food processing components need more than an ultrasmooth and defect-free surface; they need those results consistently – part after part, and across the surface…
