From Able Electropolishing Company, Inc.
Electropolishing is a metal finishing process similar in theory to electroplating. Parts are immersed in a chemical bath and electrical current is applied to the parts. While electroplating deposits metal on fasteners, electropolishing carefully dissolves surface metal. Electropolished fasteners look plated, but the similarities end there.
