Dry electropolishing equipment for high performance and superior finishing applications
Finishing Processes
Precision finishing
Superior surface finishing of precision components with tight tolerances improving mechanical properties, lifespan and corrosion resistance.
Smoothing
A smooth finish cuts down on friction loss, improving the bearing ratio, optimizing wear and tear and minimizing energy consumption and noise.
Mirror finishing
Mirror finish is a highly-polished finish, characterized by a bright, shiny, reflective metal surface. Remove any micro-scratches and milling lines.
Deburring
Remove burrs from sharp or fragile parts that are not suitable for traditional finishing techniques without rounding edges or damaging the part.
Rounding
Cutting edge geometry determines the thermo-mechanical stress suffered by the tool. Increase its lifespan with a controlled edge preparation.
Inner channels polishing
Improve surface quality of inner channels and complex metal parts with blind holes cost-effectively, reliable and with superior quality.
Benefits of Surface Treatment
Homogeneous results
DLyte achieves homogeneous results across the surface and eliminates micro scratches, as opposed to abrasive polishing. The system works efficiently at a micro and macroscopic level.
Geometry preservation
Respects the tolerances and preserves the initial shape, even the edges, guaranteeing the most precise result. It does not round the edges as there is no mechanical abrasion of the surface.
Best-in-class surface roughness
Reduces the roughness over 80% avoiding undesired effects. Liquid electropolishing is not able to reduce the roughness more than 50% without generating side effects like orange peel or pitting.
Low material removal
Removes material only from roughness peaks as the diameter of the particles is bigger than the roughness profile. It penetrates internal cavities that cannot be accessed mechanically.
Consistent repeatability
The DryLyte Technology ensures stable results among various batches along the electrolyte media lifespan. There is no physical wear, as would typically occur with abrasive particles.
Enhances negative surface skewness
DLyte increases the surface bearing contact area allowing uniform lubricant film distribution and improving the bearing ratio and reducing the friction between the pieces.
Avoids grinding texture patterns
This is the only technology that allows to remove roughness and improve the corrosion resistance of the metal pieces while reducing the number of processes required in the manufacturing process.
Biocompatibility proven
Uses only polymer particles with acids for surface improvement. It ensures that the parts meet all the appropriate requirements to pass a risk-benefit analysis evaluating biocompatibility and toxicity.
Improve the corrosion resistance
Reduces wear and improves fracture and fatigue strength, while improving the surface quality of metal parts. It also removes embedded free iron, contaminants and heat tint or oxide scale.
Aesthetic improvement
Dry electropolishing can improve the visual aspect of cutting tools because it is a highly precise and controllable process that can produce a very smooth, uniform surface.
Complex and fragile parts
Ideal for surface finishing fragile and complex parts that cannot be impinged because it is an electrochemical process that does involve very low physical contact with the workpiece.
Drastic lifespan increase
An electrical current is used to remove a very thin, uniform layer of material from the surface of a workpiece. This can result in a surface with a high degree of surface smoothness and uniformity.
