What is the difference between electropolishing and chemical polishing? Surface treatment of steel grating

Table of Content [Hide]

    In the production process of stainless steel grating, surface treatment is a very critical process.

     

    Electropolishing

    Principle: In the electrolyte, the raised microscopic areas on the metal surface are dissolved first by applying an external current, so as to achieve a smooth and bright effect.

     

    Advantages: The surface is more uniform and flat, which can effectively remove microscopic cracks and improve corrosion resistance.

     

    Suitable scenarios: Steel grating projects with high-end requirements such as food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries.

     

    Cost: The equipment investment is high, but the effect is the best, and the cost performance is superior in the long run.

    Chemical Polishing

    Principle: Through the corrosion of chemical solutions, the micro-convex parts of the surface are dissolved first to achieve a certain degree of brightness.

     

    Advantages: Simple operation, no power supply required, suitable for steel grating processing with complex shapes and large batches.

     

    Suitable scenarios: General drainage platforms, sidewalks, and ordinary industrial platforms are required.

    Cost: Small one-time investment, but the surface brightness and durability are slightly inferior to electropolishing.

    Summary:

    If you have high requirements for corrosion resistance and surface accuracy, it is recommended to give priority to electropolishing;

    If you pursue efficiency, are cost-sensitive, and the use environment is general, chemical polishing can also meet daily needs.
