FIRE SAFETY INDUSTRY: CORROSION-RESISTANT ELECTROPOLISHED PARTS
Stainless steel parts used in the manufacture of equipment for the fire safety industry have to be able to perform under frequently wet and corrosive conditions. Electropolishing extends the life of these parts by eliminating surface imperfections left behind by machining, stamping and welding that can become initiation sites for corrosion and lead to premature part failure.
Electropolishing For The Fire Safety Industry
Metal parts used for fire safety purposes need a metal finishing process thats removes any surface defects that can invite harmful corrosion. Electropolishing enhances corrosion resistance by removing embedded contaminants, micro-burrs and other imperfections. Parts used in the fire safety industry must be burr free to prevent the risk of critical malfunction in the field.
SS Electro Bright Electropolishing’s customers in the fire safety industry prize electropolishing’s ability to leave their parts with enhanced corrosion resistance. One customer sends us 420 stainless steel fasteners used by a major manufacturer of fire trucks. Electropolishing removes the outer skin of metal parts, eliminating embedded particulates that can be an initiation site for corrosion. In addition, the process removes micro-burrs on the threads, improves the surface finish and leaves the part with a bright, decorative finish.
