Electro Finishing (EF) is a highly precise process for surface treatment of metallic workpieces using an external power source. In this electrochemical removal process, the workpiece is dipped into a specific Electro Finishing Media and anodically removed. Electro Finishing is primarily used to smooth and polish surfaces.
The process is particularly effective in processing difficult materials such as stainless steel, titanium, and other alloys. The application of Electro Finishing results in workpieces with a metallically pure surface, an unaffected basic structure, improved corrosion resistance, and a permanently shiny surface.
Electro Finishing offers numerous advantages over other surface treatment methods. It is a fast, effective, and precise method for achieving high-quality surfaces that meet the high demands of modern industry. Therefore, if you are looking for an optimal solution for processing metallic workpieces, you should definitely consider Electrofinish.
Processing is carried out in an open drum (the process container) with a base plate in the form of turntable or disc. The workpieces, together with a suitable polishing or grinding granulate, are set in motion by the rotation of the disc to create a toroidal stream inside the stationary drum.
The contact between the workpieces and the medium generates a very intense finishing effect which is up to 20 times more efficient than can be achieved with systems such as conventional vibrators.
Only we at OTEC have the relevant know-how to finish very fine workpieces (< 0.4 mm) using our zero-gap drum system. This makes these models especially suitable for the deburring, edge rounding and polishing of delicate and intrate workpieces.
