Characteristics

Plasma polishing can be applied to a wide range of metal alloys, even titanium can be processed. A list of the most common materials can be found here: Materials. EPP is more accurate than conventional polishing processes such as barreling and electropolishing. Due to the absence of acids it also is more environmentally friendly than other processes. We have a quick turnaround and keep prices per product low. The roughness (Ra <0.05) and dimensions are highly reproducible. EPP is very suitable for complex shapes, and can also be applied for internal polishing.
