This research proposes an integrated optimization framework combining artificial neural networks (ANN) and Taguchi robust design for an eco-friendly deep eutectic solvent-based electrolyte. Five key ...

Electrochemical metal processing is a process that generates harmful pollution. An important goal often disregarded by researchers is not only the achievement of the best possible quality of ...

Table I. (Click to Enlarge) Roughness parameters after differing processes, from atomic force microscopy. Blood-contacting implants, such as stents, filters, and sutures, are part of a very special ...

Many stainless-steel automotive parts must undergo passivation to ensure they are adequately corrosion-resistant and not prone to early failure, two factors critical for performance and a long ...

An SEM image shows a cobalt-chrome surface after high-voltage electropolishing. Ultrapolishing provides a clean surface for implants, instruments, and invasive medical devices. The process enables the ...

Electropolishing is often the last step to finishing metal parts after manufacturing, and has numerous benefits that improve the parts’ performance and increase life span. Electropolishing is a ...

The field of surface finishing is characterized by demands for higher quality with, at the same time, an increasing need for process consistency, traceability and resource efficiency. Frequently, this ...

Electropolishing smooths, polishes, deburrs, and cleans steel, stainless steel, and copper or aluminum alloys in an electrolytic bath. It selectively removes high points on metal surfaces, giving ...
