Electropolishing for the Automotive Industry

Detail and quality are the two most important aspects of any automotive part. Customers both expect and deserve the highest levels of both, and only a professional electropolishing service can achieve these levels for auto manufacturers.

The most noticeable benefit of electropolishing for the automotive industry is the glorious, mirror-like finish it can impart to stainless steel auto parts. Electropolishing for the automotive industry can also improve the performance and life span as well.

The Lustrous Finish Of Electropolishing Services

A clean, smooth, uniform finish is what you can expect from electropolished auto parts. This is the first thing that auto manufacturers notice when they’ve used a good, professional electropolishing service. We all know that a new, shiny part is absolutely irresistible to car enthusiasts everywhere. The simple shine granted from an electropolishing service can increase the value of almost any auto part. 

Electropolishing Service Benefits For Exterior Auto Parts

Rain, snow, mud, and de-icing salts can wreak havoc on the quality, appearance and performance of a vehicle. Rims, runners, grills, and exhaust components are exposed to the elements more than any other part on a car. As such, they are very susceptible to rust and corrosion. There’s nothing more heartbreaking to a car owner than watching the shiny bits of a new car decay.

A professional electropolishing service helps to control and reduce the onset of rust and corrosion by eliminating imperfections on the metal surface. It also results in a smooth finish to exterior parts which in turn, makes them easier to clean.

Electropolishing Benefits For Interior Auto Parts

Electropolishing is not just for the outer components of an automobile but also benefits the interior parts as well. Specifically, pistons and cylinders can profit from a quality electropolishing service. Electropolishing creates corrosion resistance, increased performance and an increased lifespan on these interior auto parts.

Benefits of Electropolishing for Car Manufacturers and Production Facilities

During the manufacturing process, there are certain imperfections that can be left behind from the factory or facility. When left on the surface of an automotive part, this can cause decreased performance and a shorter life span. These can include:

• Burrs
• Shavings
• Weld Slag
• Peaks & Valleys
• Organic, Inorganic, & Chemical Contaminants

The electropolishing process effectively lifts and scrubs these and other imperfections away.  Amazingly, this does not alter the dimensions of the auto part. Parts requiring a tight seal will still be able to hold that seal after an electropolishing service. What’s left after a quality electropolishing service is a clean, shiny, smooth auto part with reduced friction and increased corrosion resistance. Overall, electropolishing is beneficial to all aspects of the automotive industry.
