Need system for Reel to Reel wire electropolishing of nickel alloys

July 14, 2009

We are producing Nickel alloy wires. Some of the applications like glass sealing require the wire to be mirror finish. I think EP can be a solution. We are also producing Nickel plated steel wire for lighting industry and have lot of experience in plating of wires but no experience of Electro polishing.
Can someone give me a lead for equipment supplier, process, chemicals etc for EP.
Our wire is in reels of about 50 kg and we need a machine which can EP from reel to reel. Wire dia is 0.4 to 1.0 mm and as I said before they are NIckel, Nickel Manganese, Nickel iron (50/50).
