Electropolish: This electrolytic process removes high points all over stainless steel parts giving a high luster and a smooth, passive surface. It is particularly effective for 316 SS.

EN plating is a chemical process that involves several simultaneous reactions in an aqueous solution, which occur without the use of external electrical power. The reaction is accomplished when hydrogen is released by a reducing agent (normally sodium hypophosphite), and oxidized thus producing a negative charge on the surface of the part. The charge causes a layer of nickel and phosphorus to form and this continues until the part is removed from the solution. Since the plating process requires no electrical current, the coating produced is a very uniform structure that can be applied over various metals and substrates.

There are many different types of EN coatings and processes available to meet a wide range of unique applications. Physical and mechanical properties vary considerably from one EN process to another depending on the phosphorus content, the formulation of the bath and both the pre-plate and post-plate treatments, yet all the EN coatings offer excellent deposit uniformity and superior corrosion protection.
