Manufacturers of metal parts destined for food or pharmaceutical production equipment, or for fuel lines, gear assemblies and other critical components of aerospace manufacturing, can’t take chances with surface imperfections.

Burrs and microburrs are common problems left behind during processes like broaching, fine blanking, grinding, lapping or milling. They’re also a potentially disastrous defect that can cause seizing of screws or fasteners, prevent proper sealing between parts or even become dislodged near moving parts.

That’s why manufacturers in these industries specify electropolishing for their critical metal parts. Read our whitepaper, The Advantages of Electropolishing for Deburring Metal Parts, to learn how electropolishing works to eliminate burrs and microburrs from the surface and improve the fit, finish and function of critical metal parts.
