The machining of compression, torsion and flat springs creates notches, burrs, fissures, cracks and other microscopic defects that can lead to accelerated corrosion, cracking and premature part failure for these parts that flex, bend and twist.
To increase cycle life and prevent premature failure, manufacturers and users of springs try tumbling, shot peening, passivation, and other finishing methods to eliminate these microscopic problems but nothing is as effective as electropolishing.
Only electropolishing can precisely remove microscopic surface anomalies, leaving your parts with a consistently smooth, shiny and decorative finish that is free of heat tint.
Able Electropolishing processes millions of springs every year, which has extended spring cycle life by 200% or more compared with any other metal finishing method. Some customers that we’ve served for over 20 years have tested their electropolished springs and have seen increased spring cycle life of 400% to 500%.

At Able, we process springs of all types on a daily basis. Regardless of the metal alloy your springs are made from, Able will provide the electropolishing service to make them defect-free.

While stainless steel is known for its corrosion resistance, it contains iron, which is susceptible to corrosion, especially if parts are frequently exposed to moisture or harsh environments. Contamination left behind by machining processes can also impede the corrosion resistance…
Electropolishing is a highly controlled electrochemical process that directly impacts surface integrity, corrosion resistance, cleanliness, and performance.
In aerospace manufacturing, electrical discharge machining (EDM) is often the only practical way to create the intricate shapes, micro-features, and tight-tolerance geometries required in high-performance parts. From fuel-system components to actuator housings, landing-gear hardware, and propulsion assemblies, EDM enables precision…
Burrs—those unwanted raised edges, micro-protrusions, and sharp fragments left behind after machining, stamping, or laser cutting—are a common challenge in metal manufacturing.
