Electropolishing for medical devices: Relatively new... fascinatingly diverse
Surface with high quality is needed for all medical devices. New materials inspire designers and design drives high surface requirements. Nitinol and other titanium alloys are emerging as key materials in device manufacturing. The standardisation in the medical industry throws heavier emphasis on more standard surfaces processes for better performance and life-extension. Among all surface treatments, electropolishing is the most critical in the final surface appearance. For this, purpose a consistent and standard electropolishing process has been developed which is suited for precision surface levelling and brightening.
