Product Description
Electrolytic polisher EPV1 helps in polishing & etching the specimens electrolytically. The Specimen is held in a clamp as anode & dipped in the solution of an electrolyte like KOH or NaOH or Oxalic acid. A fixed voltage at fixed current is passed for pre determined period of time. This polisher is recommended for etching specimens of stainless steels such as duplex .
Advanced Control and Safety FeaturesEquipped with a digital display and keypad, users can precisely set current (up to 10 A) and timing for each polishing cycle. The system includes overcurrent protection, a splash guard, and air cooling for safe polishing operations. The corrosion-resistant body further enhances long-term durability in rigorous laboratory environments.
Optimized for Metallurgical Sample PreparationDesigned to accommodate specimens up to 40 mm in diameter, this electrolytic polisher provides uniform, reproducible finish required for metallographic analysis. The device supports commonly used electrolytes including perchloric acid, with integrated heating ensuring consistent temperature conditions throughout the polishing process.
Reliable Performance and Flexible OperationThis semi-automatic polisher permits both manual and timed cycles, adapting to variable laboratory workflows. With a polished stainless steel finish and convenient included accessories (holder, tray, power cord), setup and maintenance are straightforward. Its compact design fits most laboratories and testing centers, maximizing workspace efficiency.
FAQs of Electrolytic Polisher:
