摘要:Electro-chemical polishing is a process of improving micro smoothness, micro topology, and materialbrightness. Electro polishing streamlines the microscopic surface of a metal object by removing metal from theobject's surface through an electrochemical process. In Electro polishing the anode surface is smoothened andbrightened by the use of appropriate electrolyte under optimum conditions of current density and temperature. Theprocess is carried out by anodic dissolving the substrate in an electrolyte with an external source of electricity. InElectro polishing the anode surface is smoothened and brightened by the use of appropriate electrolyte underoptimum conditions of current density and temperature. Traditional mechanical polishing processes results indeformed layer and induces residual stresses in material and hence it affects performances of the material. .It hasadvantages of high removal rate and no tool wear in process. It is also cost effective. In the present work,investigation is carried out to obtain extent of improvement of smoothness for SS202 stainless steel byelectrochemical polishing. The process variable parameters considered are electrolyte temperature, current densityand electrolysis time. The two methods are employed for measuring the surface roughness. In first method Totalfifteen samples are examined by changing the process parameters and corresponding surface roughness is recordedusing surface roughness tester then in second method there are twenty seven samples are taken and correspondingreadings are measured by changing its parameters simultaneously.
