Electro Chemical De-burring of Micro Surgical Knife  

June 13, 2008

Sir

We are manufacturing Micro Surgical knives from AISI 420 grade stainless steel material. We like to remove the edge grinding burr by using electro chemical machining process. At present we do buffing. Kindly suggest suitable process with diagram and technical details. Then we can develop this process. Any further more information required by you please mail us.

Electrochemical deburring is a technology that evolved from electrochemical polishing. There are numerous patents on the subject and I am sure that one of the larger razor blade manufacturers such as Warner Lambert, Schick or Gillette may be willing to license some of their older technology to you for a suitable fee. Alternatively, you can develop and use your own process, based on electropolishing.
