In one test of metal finishing processes conducted by the poultry and meat processing industry, electropolishing was found to be more effective than mechanical polishing, grinding, or sand blasting for increasing resistance to bacterial attachment.
When bacteria accumulates on metal parts, it becomes increasingly difficult to remove through normal chemical washing. A smooth, electropolished surface finish improves the ability to keep the processing equipment free of contaminates such as Salmonella.
Electropolishing brightens and cleans parts like welded wire racks that are used in various applications from meat processing to commercial ovens. The process removes the discoloration in heat affected zones (HAZ) and greatly improves corrosion resistance by fixing precipitation left behind by welding.

Carbon steel is widely favored in manufacturing for its affordability, hardness and ability to undergo heat-treatment to increase durability. Used in gears, springs, and other critical metal parts, it’s known for versatility and reliability.
Precision and reliability are non-negotiable standards in the aerospace industry, where every component must meet strict requirements for performance, durability, and safety.
With the addition of a fourth-generation tabletop Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Able’s state-of-the-art suite of analytic tools continues to grow to meet the requirements of high quality finishing for increasingly sophisticated metal parts.
Stainless steel alloys are prized by manufacturers across industries for their durability and corrosion resistance. Unfortunately, when free iron isn’t removed from the surface of stainless steel parts after machining or stamping, the inherent benefits of stainless alloys diminish: contaminated…
