ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
ISO draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use
of (a) patent(s). ISO takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed
patent rights in respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, ISO had not received
notice of (a) patent(s) which may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are
cautioned that this may not represent the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent
database available at www.iso.org/patents. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all
such patent rights.

Introduction
Electropolishing removes a small but finite amount of metal from the surface that, in addition to
smoothing and brightening, produces a hygienically clean surface desirable for use by manufacturers of
food processing and medical equipment.
In addition to improved passivation, electropolishing provides many other benefits. Some examples
are surface stress relief, removal of surface carbon and oxides and reduction of friction. Hydrogen
embrittlement of articles is not produced during the electropolishing process, which takes minutes to
perform.
The quality of passivation depends on the type of stainless steel, the formulation of the electropolishing
solution and the conditions of operation. Free iron on the surface of the stainless steel is removed
resulting in improved corrosion resistance. No further chemical treatment is necessary in order to
passivate the stainless steel surface. Surface smoothing obtained by electropolishing also improves
passivation.
