Electropolishing Stainless Steel

I work for a small stainless steel products manufacturing company. At the moment we are using machines to polish our products, however, we want to use a quicker process such as electropolishing. Could someone tell me where I could find the specifications/information and a design to build a electropolishing plant/bath?

Contact Global Stainless Technology via the 'Chemicals & Perishables' button below. Their electropolishing process was developed in Australia, so they may have a local contact for you.

If you want electropolishing without any acids, contact us for more information. 300-series and 400-series stainless steel, nickel are polished in this electrolyte.
