Electrochemical buffing (ECB) is our
proprietary dual-action surface finishing technology that combines
the power of electrolytic metal dissolution and mechanical polishing
with an abrasive.
ECB is a surface processing method that efficiently finishes metal
surfaces to mirror-brilliance. The electrolytic reaction forms a stable
film conforming to the surface of the processing subject (the anode).
We target the micro-projections of the film for removal by polishing
using an abrasive powder and then focusing the electrolytic reaction
there.

1.
|
Makes surfaces exceptionally
flat and smooth |
|
| |
An outstanding, mirror-smooth submicron
finish is guaranteed by combining the dual power of the electrolytic
reaction and polishing with an abrasive powder. |
| 2. Offers excellent homogeneity |
| |
Homogeneity of the metallic foundation
is achieved by removing layers of impurities and minute defects.
ECB eliminates adsorbed gases and interposed nonmetallic substances
on the surface, as well as rolling cracks and blow holes. |
| 3. Ensures corrosion resistance |
| |
Corrosion resistance is improved
because it is easy to form uniform, stable films on the polished
surfaces. Similarly, ECB also keeps metal ion elution to an
absolute minimum. |
|
4.
|
Surfaces are non-adhering
and extremely clean |
|
| |
Adhesiveness of the subject's
contents to its finished surfaces diminishes remarkably due
to the outstanding flatness and smoothness of the polished surfaces.
Any adhering substances can be purged easily, and cleaning is
effortless. |
| 5. Polishing benefits subjects of many forms |
| |
We finish surfaces that are planar,
concave, convex, and freeform curves. Surfaces of all forms
and sizes can be processed, without exception. |
| 6. Polishing benefits all types of materials |
| |
All conductive metals can be processed,
including common steel, stainless steel, copper, titanium, and
aluminum.
