Electropolishing for Compression, Torsion & Flat Springs

Visit Able at SpringWorld 2024 (Booth #827) to Learn How to Double Your Spring Cycle Life

 
electropolished compression springThe 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.

Why Electropolishing Is Essential

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%.

Metal Finishing Precision with JCM-7000 SEM

With the addition of a fourth-generation tabletop Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Able’s state-of-the-art suite of analytic tools continues to grow to meet the requirements of high quality finishing for increasingly sophisticated metal parts.

Passivation for Stainless Steel Parts

Stainless steel alloys are prized by manufacturers across industries for their durability and corrosion resistance. Unfortunately, when free iron isn’t removed from the surface of stainless steel parts after machining or stamping, the inherent benefits of stainless alloys diminish: contaminated…

Electropolishing for More Durable Metal Springs

Springs may seem like simple components, but their role in countless applications — from medical devices to aerospace— demands perfection. Even the slightest defect in the metal surface can drastically shorten a spring’s lifespan or lead to catastrophic failure in…

High-Tech Tools for Enhanced Analytic Capability

Finishing processes for critical metal parts require precision at a microscopic level to meet the level of quality required in industries like medical, aerospace, semiconductor and automotive manufacturing, among others.
