Industrial parts usually require smooth surfaces to comply with their function. Metal work pieces need to be smoothed, not only in case of uneven caused by pre-treatment processes, but also to remove grind marks or scratches, or for levelling the surface of castings and forgings. In case of moving parts, like transmissions, turbines, valves, bearings, forming tools or spindles a smooth finish cuts down on friction loss.

DLyte Surface finishing selectively smooth metal surfaces to the desired surface quality on workpieces made from a wide variety of materials, such as, steel, stainless steel, aluminum or brass. Smoothing operations improve parts aesthetics and quality perception, optimize wear and tear, minimize energy consumption and noise.

Dry electropolishing processes achieve homogeneous results across the surface and eliminates micro-scratches and milling lines. The system works efficiently at micro and macroscopic level. It enhances negative surface skewness (rsk), increasing the surface bearing contact area —therefore, allowing uniform lubricant film distribution—, improving the bearing ratio and reducing the friction between metal parts and the noise.

In addition, dry electropolishing respects tolerances and preserves the initial shape of pieces, even the cutting edges, avoids generating grinding texture patterns. It offers high ratio of roughness reduction and protection against corrosion.
