'''Electropolishing'''<br />
<br />
<br />
Electropolishing is a commonly used electrochemical method for smoothing, polishing, deburring and cleaning various metals, generally steel, stainless steel, copper and its alloys and aluminium and its aluminium alloys. It is widely used in food equipment, surgical equipment and implants, the pharmaceutical, paper, pulp and food-industries, as well as in automotive and architectural applications. Electropolishing removes a fine surface layer electrolytically, and is often used in cases where very smooth and bright finishes are needed. In electropolishing, the workpiece (anode) is immersed in electrolyte and electric current (usually DC) is connected between the workpiece and the cathode. The workpiece becomes polarised and metal ions start to diffuse to the cathode, and metal is removed from the anode. The reaction can be controlled by adjusting bath and process parameters and by choosing the metal or alloy being electropolished.<br />
<br />
In these electropolishing processes, different electrolytes are used. Electrolytes are usually mixtures of various acids (sulphuric acid, chrome acid, citric acid, and/or phosphoric acid) and sometimes organic compounds (such as glycerine or diethyleneglycolmonobutylether) are added.<br />
<br />
During electropolishing of stainless steels, hydrogen is formed, which mixes with oxygen at the solution surface. If ignited by a spark, this can produce an explosion. It is therefore advisable to extract gases forming on top of the solution. This is vital when processing the internal surfaces of enclosed vessels, otherwise a serious, possibly fatal, injury may occur. Repeated noise of this type may have an impact beyond the perimeter of the installation (as well as being an occupational health issue).<br />

<br />
Electropolishing with electric discharge (also known as plasma – electrolytic polishing)Plasma-electrolytic polishing is an alternative method for some applications. The process differs from conventional electropolishing mostly because of its electrolytes and process parameters used. Instead of mixed acids, these electrolytes are different salt solutions and far more friendly for employers and for environment. In this process, the used electric potential between anode and cathode is in the range of 200 – 400 V DC depending on the solution and temperature (40-95°C) used.<br />
<br />
The same process can be used also for plasma-electrolytic oxidation in order to get hard oxide-ceramic coatings.<br />
