The dental industry has relied on electropolishing for its products for years. Although electropolishing dental instruments has a variety of benefits, the most notable is dramatically improved corrosion resistance. Dental instruments are subjected to repeated autoclave cleaning, which places them in a highly corrosive environment.
Electropolishing dental instruments electrochemically removes the amorphous layer that is created on the surface of a part during machining, stamping, grinding, vibratory finishing or other secondary operations. Unlike mechanical stainless steel polishing, our process effectively removes the free iron, lubricants and other contaminants that become embedded in the surface metal pores during machining while improving corrosion resistance. Left in the metal, those contaminants can become initiation sites for corrosion to take hold.
We recommend sending samples for electropolishing so that you can evaluate both finish and dimensional changes. If electropolishing is planned during the design stage, the material removal can be factored into your final size specifications.
Download our technical guide and discover how electropolishing provides repeatable results on parts like dental handles, instruments, implants, cassettes and blades.
Electropolishing, with its ability to remove a microscopically precise layer of surface material with consistent results, is the finishing process of choice for such parts, for many reasons. Learn why electropolishing is more effective than other methods for removing burrs.
Whether you are an original equipment manufacturer (OEM), a part manufacturer or a metal working shop looking to solve these common surface problems, it's critical to find a solution to adequately address these surface problems in a cost-effective method.
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 is a highly controlled electrochemical process that directly impacts surface integrity, corrosion resistance, cleanliness, and performance.
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…
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.
