Standards for
Electropolishing
-----
Can you please tell me if there are any standards for
electropolishing. I work for a medical device manufacturer and we
need to include this information on our drawings for electropolished
parts. It seems that each electropolisher that we have spoken to has
their own standards. thanx,
Tony Bright
Yes there are. One that I've seen is ASTM
F86 [link is to spec at TechStreet]-76 "Surface Preparation
and Marking of Metallic Surgical Implants" which references
electropolishing. Another is
B912 [link is to spec at TechStreet], on "Passivation of
Stainless Steels Using Electropolishing" There probably are other
related specs.
Another approach would be to reference a specific patent or
process if desired (these are listed handily in Durney's
"Electroplating Engineering
Handbook" .
