Short answer: Electropolishing is the electrochemical reverse of plating: the part is the anode in a phosphoric/sulphuric bath and a controlled microlayer of metal dissolves, levelling peaks, removing burrs and leaving a bright, passive, ultra-clean surface. It is the finish of choice for hygienic stainless in food, pharma and semiconductor service, and for parts that must be passively clean without the directional lines of mechanical polishing.
