Electropolished Stainless Steel Tubing

Electropolished is a “Reverse Plating” process that uses an electrochemical solution to remove the outer layer of Stainless Steel Pipe. By stripping away a uniform layer of Stainless Steel Tube. By stripping away a uniform layer of SS Pipe, the Electropolishing process also removes embedded contaminants, heat tint and oxide scale, micro-cracks, burrs, pits, and another surface defect that can compromise the performance and durability of a part.

Electropolished Stainless Steel Tubing is especially done on 300 and 400 series Stainless Steel that improves a part’s corrosion resistance which leaves a lasting bright finish. Unlike passivation electropolishing can be performed on all varieties of stainless steel which gives its parts of all kinds corrosion resistance superior to passivation alone — electro polished parts are 30 times more corrosion resistant than those that are passivated. The process of dissolving a uniform layer of surface metal is more effective and aggressive because it is highly controlled and can be used to remove as little as .02″ of surface material.

EP Pipes are widely used by surgeons and dentists, appliance manufacturers, automakers, and the racing industry and in food, beverages, and pharmaceutical processing.SS 304 Electropolished Pipes has excellent forming and welding characteristics. It is excellent in a wide range of atmospheric environments and many corrosive media. In warm chloride environments, it is subject to crevice corrosion & pitting.

Stainless Steel 316l Electropolished Tubes are readily braked or roll-formed into a variety of parts for applications in the architectural, industrial, and transportation fields. It also has outstanding welding characteristics.

No 4 Brushed Finish Stainless Steel Pipe is the most common and is used on appliances and in the food industry. Its appearance is characterized by parallel, short polishing lines that extend uniformly along the length of the coil. According to the requirements of the application, the final finish can be anywhere between 120- and 320-grit. Higher grit numbers produce more reflective finishes and finer polishing lines.

A249 Polished Steel Pipe and A270 Polish Pipe are polished by using a grinder and grinding disc by grinding down any welds that are on the pipe. It is mounted into a pipe vise. And then polishing compound is applied to it. The polishing belt is slide between 120 – 180 grit and as the needed additional polishing compound is applied to it. Then it continues by using a grinding belt. And after that polishing compound is applied to the steel pipe and the fine lines are buffed with a buffer grinding disc.

Electro polished Stainless Steel Tubing has a “Reverse Plating” process that uses an electrochemical solution to remove the outer skin of a metal part.

Electro polished Stainless Steel Pipe has a shiny, smooth, ultra-clean surface finish. It is also known as Electro chemical Polishing, Anodic Polishing, or Electrolytic Polishing, electro polishing stainless steel pipe.

Stainless Steel Polished Tube consists of the austenitic grades of stainless steel such as TP304, TP304L, TP316, TP316L, TP321, TP321H and TP347.

Polished Stainless Steel Square Tubing is widely used for various applications including beverages, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, food processing, biotechnology, pure water movement, high purity gases, vacuum, and semiconductors.

Polished Stainless Steel Pipe is a group of iron-based alloys that contain approximately a minimum of 11% chromium a composition that prevents the iron from rusting and also provides heat-resistant properties. 

Mirror Polished Stainless Steel Tube goes through a polishing process of rough grinding, fine grinding to achieve a smooth, shiny mirror-like surface. It is performed by using a chemical solution to remove the surface oxide scale to achieve a brightening effect.

316 Polished Stainless Tubing offers vastly superior corrosion resistance to chlorides and acids which makes it popular for a wide range of environments such as Brewing facilities, medical equipment, and implants, coastal environments, and areas with high salt levels. 

EP Tubing is a process through with the absolute roughness of the electro polished Stainless Steel Tube is reduced. This makes the pipes more accurate in dimensions and it can be installed with accuracy in sensitive systems like pharmaceutical industrial applications.
