Our main services are pickling and electropolishing of stainless steel items including castings, forgings, pressings, wirework and welded fabrications. Ancillary treatments also available are general cleaning and passivation of stainless steel, whether ferritic, martensitic or austenitic.
The unique surface finish produced by electropolishing has benefited numerous industries where corrosion resistance, reduction in adhesion and friction and crevice-free surfaces are of paramount importance.| |

Instruments and devices are electropolished to improve corrosion resistance and remove bacteria traps.
Opposite: Stent - A tiny stainless steel tubular device used to alleviate vascular conditions by expanding narrowed or blocked arteries. Electropolished for cleanliness and removal of micro-burrs.
Large critical components such as head boxes, slices and stock feed tubes are electropolished to avoid build-up of fibres and prevent "snow-balling". Holes and slots in screen cylinders can be increased and sized with precision to suit the type of paper being produced and simultaneously prevent clogging.
Opposite: In-situ electropolishing of a head box at a paper mill in India
Vacuum systems benefit from electropolishing by eliminating occluded surface gases and thereby reducing pump-down times.
Opposite: Jet Torus fusion reactor at Culham Lab.
Complex patterned gates, door furniture, durbar plate flooring, handrails, lampposts and sculptures have all been electropolished to improve both finish and durability in service.
Opposite: Four metre high electropolished panels for Blue Water Mill complex in Kent
