In-Situ Electropolishing
Catalogs:
Overview
Techniques developed for the in-situ electropolishing of objects that are too large for immersion. Item to be decontaminated is placed in a bath containing a decontamination solution (generally phosphoric acid or phosphoric acid/sulfuric acid) to act as the anode of an electrolyte cell. Electric current is passed through the bath, which causes oxidation, and consequent removal, of the contaminated surface.
