To measure how rough a metal surface is, manufacturers often use a tool called a profilometer. It uses a diamond-tipped stylus to trace the surface, measuring all the tiny peaks and valleys. The results are usually shown in microinches or micrometers—the higher the number, the rougher the surface.
Here’s where electropolishing really shines: it typically cuts that roughness by half. So, if a part starts with a surface roughness of 16 microinches, electropolishing can bring it down to around 8 microinches. That’s a big improvement when surface quality counts.
Think of a metal surface under a microscope: lots of tiny peaks and valleys. During electropolishing, electrical current naturally concentrates on the high points—the peaks. As a result, those peaks get dissolved and leveled off. The overall effect? A much smoother surface with improved microfinish values.
On average, electropolishing removes about 0.0005 inches from each surface, which is usually enough to cut surface roughness in half. And as shown in the data (see Chart B), removing more metal than that won’t necessarily improve the finish further—it’s about precision, not excess.
Electropolishing is especially useful for parts that are delicate, intricately shaped, or too complex for traditional polishing methods. While techniques like grinding, lapping, or harperizing may work for simple shapes, they’re not ideal for multi-faceted or fragile components. Electropolishing, on the other hand, handles those parts with ease and delivers consistent results.
