F.A.Q.

Please see our services menu drop down and select electropolish for more information.

We polish stainless steel components and high nickel alloys.

We can polish parts of all sizes! We have done small hardware such as fill needles including the inside diameter, all the way to large tanks and hoppers. If a part is too big to be dipped into our tank, we have a mobile hand polishing station ready to tackle even the largest jobs.

No, electropolishing will not remove scratches. To achieve certain surface RA's (roughness average) the part needs to be prefinished to a certain extent. The lower the RA needed after electropolishing then the lower the RA needed prior. However, scratches can still be electropolished, but a certain RA cannot be guaranteed unless they are removed beforehand. In other words, the scratches will still be present, just polished over. 

No, electropolishing will not remove scratches or dents. To achieve certain surface RA's (roughness average) the part needs to be prefinished to a certain extent. The lower the RA needed after electropolishing then the lower the RA needed prior. 

Please see our services menu drop down and select passivation for more information.

No, passivation will only remove the surface iron from a part and will create a protective oxide layer that will help prevent rust. It does not change the appearance of the part.

 Please see our services menu drop down and select pickling for more information.  

Yes! Pickling will remove weld burn marks and weld scale leaving the product with a nice dull steel finish.

Please see our services menu drop down and select glass bead blasting for more information.

Yes, bead blasting offers a cost-effective, stress-resistant method of creating a uniform surface on a metal part. Glass bead blasting will remove surface debris without any resulting dimensional changes. It will also remove burrs from the corners and edges of a metal part, allowing proper assembly and operation of the finished product.
