It also removes the free iron from the surface, passivating the stainless steel. If it is "contact-free", it is no longer an electropolish, but a chemical polish. I have tried many proprietary chemical polishes for SS but have found none that match the finish of an electropolished substrate. If there is a new chemical polish on the market claiming to match the finish obtained from electropolishing, please post the information, as I would like to experiment with this as well. info@finishingtalk.com (Labrat) Thu, 01 Feb 2007 03:05:38 +0000 http://www.finishingtalk.com/community/post481.html#p481 http://www.finishingtalk.com/community/post384.html#p384 Hi everybody, Has a nybody already heard about contact free electropolishing?
