Improved Surface Finish

improved surface finish Improved microfinishes do more than improve the appearance of a part. Surface finishes improved by mechanical polishing or electropolishing can improve seals, lower friction, reduce real surface area, allow for easier sanitation, and improve heat and light reflection.

The roughness of a surface can be measured and quantified by a profilometer. A profilometer is an instrument that measures roughness by moving a diamond tipped stylus across a surface. A profilometer will produce a reading describing the Ra & RMS. This measurement of surface roughness is produced in either micro-inches or micrometers. Harrison Electropolishing can improve and certify the surface finish of a wide range of materials by either electropolishing or mechanical polishing.

Electropolishing is an electrochemical process by which surface material is removed by anodic dissolution. Electropolishing removes surface material, beginning with the high points within the microscopic surface texture. By removing these points, the electropolishing process will improve the surface finish of a metal such as stainless steel, nickel, and Hastelloy, leaving a smoother and more reflective surface. Common parts and components electropolished include tanks, piping, fittings, rods, discs, large parts & surfaces, and more.
