Electropolishing Tungsten

I am interested in finding a process that would be suitable for electropolishing Tungsten, including any pretreatment processes that may be required.

There are different methods of electropolishing Tungsten, the low-voltage method is pretty environmentally clean. It depends on the type of alloy you want to polish.

I'm also looking to electropolish tungsten, specifically tungsten-rhenium.
Information on the electrolyte and its concentration, current density etc would be very helpful
