The importance of electropolishing in the medical industry | Limat | 07.02.10
The medical industry has unwavering hygiene and safety standards, which apply to all of its aspects, and especially to tools and components used in surgery and transplants; where the quality of stainless steel cannot be compromised.
Study: Electropolish is the Best Way to Prevent Microbial Accrual | Limat | 15.12.09
A new study looking at 11 metal polishing techniques concluded that electropolish is the best way of preventing bacterial accumulation.
Common misconceptions regarding metal polishing | Limat | 04.12.09
There are various methods for polishing metals and some are more effective than others; but there is, however a tendency to generalize the different methods, making it difficult to distinguish between them. Perhaps the most common misconception is that stainless steel is at no risk of corrosion. While stainless steel is rust-resistant to a degree and takes longer to corrode or chip
Study: Electropolishing Improves Welded Areas’ Corrosion Resistance | Limat | 03.11.09
A study commissioned in order to determine which is the best treatment for such metals. The study reviewed corrosion-resistance improvements in metals which were welded, and therefore subjected to the welding process' heat, before undergoing electropolishing
Report: Electropolish 6,000 Times More Effective Than Traditional Polishing | Limat | 29.08.09
Electropolishing-derived passivation of stainless steel products has several significant advantages over more traditional passivation methods. A frequently asked question is exactly what are the advantages to this kind of passivation
Three Steps to Electropolishing Characterization | Limat | 02.07.09
Many clients have suffered over the years from lack of actual information when choosing a metal polishing technique to suit their needs. Here are three simple steps to electropolishing characterization for various industries
Comparative analysis: electropolishing prevents microbial accumulation better than other polishing methods | Limat | 07.05.09
Corrosion and infections have a particularly costly affect on stainless steel surfaces. Various methods of metal surfaces' polishing have been developed to address this problem, among them electrochemical polishing, also known as electropolishing.
Electropolishing – the best way to prevent rust | Limat | 06.04.09
The following is a common problem is almost every industry: surfaces and tools are crafted out of stainless steel, in hope to prevent rapid corrosion and rust accumulation, and while certain alloyed are, supposedly, rust-resistant, such surfaces still have to undergo polishing in order to survive in harsh conditions, which often include exposure to chemicals and moisture.
Electropolishing – the most effective way of preventing microorganism accumulation on food processing surfaces | Limat | 22.03.09
The food industry is constantly striving to maximize hygiene levels in a long-term, cost effective way, but how can food processing factories guarantee the strict requirements are met without going over budget?
Recent developments in electropolishing standards | Limat | 29.01.09
While it was customary in the past to polish mostly metals which were used as external architectural features, today – and after numerous studies have concluded that quality polishing not only improves the appearance of a metal surface, but enhances its durability as well – such polishing is a part of any industry which uses stainless steel components.
A Guide to Electropolishing | Limat | 31.12.08
The guide offers answers to some of the industry's core questions and is a great tool for engineers, designers and the industry in general, as part of the effort to extend the use of electrochemical metal polishing to a wider range of applications
Distinguishing between perfect and imperfect electropolishing | Limat | 23.12.08
Quality electrochemical polishing begins with using the best products. Quality products alongside experience, professional techniques and optimal execution conditions greatly increase the chances achieving the desired result.
Electropolish: The only solution for stainless steel car parts | Limat | 14.12.08
Metal polishing is a great way to maintain stainless steel's shiny and attractive appearance over time. Metal polishing can also be a great way to restore faded stainless steel parts. There are many ways to polish stainless steel parts, and some can even be applied to stainless steel and aluminum car parts. Electrochemical polishing is a state-of-the-art way
