The machining of compression, torsion and flat springs creates notches, burrs, fissures, cracks and other microscopic defects that can lead to accelerated corrosion, cracking and premature part failure for these parts that flex, bend and twist.
To increase cycle life and prevent premature failure, manufacturers and users of springs try tumbling, shot peening, passivation, and other finishing methods to eliminate these microscopic problems but nothing is as effective as electropolishing.
Only electropolishing can precisely remove microscopic surface anomalies, leaving your parts with a consistently smooth, shiny and decorative finish that is free of heat tint.
Able Electropolishing processes millions of springs every year, which has extended spring cycle life by 200% or more compared with any other metal finishing method. Some customers that we’ve served for over 20 years have tested their electropolished springs and have seen increased spring cycle life of 400% to 500%.

Standard delivery is 3 to 5 working days after receipt of order. Next day and same day services are offered at an additional cost. Please contact our sales department for further details.
Passivation is a chemical process designed to remove free iron and other contaminants from the part surface. Electropolishing is an electro-chemical process that removes surface metal which improves micro finish, provides deburring and adds to the aesthetics of your part.
