Polishing small stamped components is challenging. Mechanical polishing methods are often not possible, due to the high probability of bending, distorting, and deforming. Electropolishing can be a good way to polish these types of fragile components, however, it has its own challenges. Every single part must be electrically connected to the electrodes to provide electricity. This can be extremely cumbersome and time consuming, driving the component cost up.

with chemical polishing, batch processing is easily performed as all it is needed to submerge the components in the polishing solution. Chemically polshed components are free of burr, stress and polishing-induced defects.
