ECO-BRITE™ Electropolishing
Electro
Polishing on Nitinol - An Effective Coating
|
ECO-BRITESM is
a proprietary mass finishing system for electropolishing stainless
steel parts. This new technology allows the fast, uniform
polishing of all exterior surfaces and
produces a brighter luster than other
methods. Directing low current, elec-trochemical energy evenly to the
entire component surface results in a faster, more cost-effective polish
that is not attainable through other processes. |
|
This process auto de-burrs and eliminates contact marks,
corrosion-causing impurities, scratches and other imperfections from
the metal part, leaving a highly polished, smooth and uniform appearance.
ECO-BRITESM is environmentally safe, as all constituents of the electropolishing
bath are recycled and nothing is discharged into the environment.
|
| In addition,
the increased presence of chromium oxide on the finished
product reduces corrosion and creates a passivated, biologically
safe metal surface. This is an important feature for medical
device finishing. |
| |
Conventional
electropolishing requires the manual racking and unracking
of parts, adding to the time and cost of the
process. These can be significant, especially when polishing
large quantities of small, delicate parts. ECO-BRITESM allows
bulk finishing in about one-third the time because machined
metal parts are placed directly into an electro-polishing bath
without racking. A proprietary
| chemical
mixture affects all metal surfaces evenly to produce
a consistent result
on all surfaces without regard to size, shape or quantity.
In addition, contact areas are eliminated. The |
|
| capacity
of the bath tank allows mass finishing of up to several
thousand pieces at once, depending on the size of the
component. |
|

|
|
| APPLICATIONS |
| ECO-BRITESM is the appropriate electropolishing method for
creating a uniform, high-luster surface on stainless steel
components. This bulk-processing method is highly recommended
for polishing small, delicate parts, especially those with
biomedical applications. |
