Abstract

The complex process of electropolishing involves both electrical and chemical reaction, and it is impacted by a number of process variables, including workpiece rotation, temperature, electrolyte types, and current densi-ty. The electropolishing process remains largely unexplained by any existing theory, particularly in light of recent improvements that have made the material removal mechanism increasingly difficult to comprehend. In order to provide readers with a brief understanding of the material removal mechanism, this paper reviews the fundamental theories and aspects of electricity and chemical reaction. A variety of process factors, including current density, temperature, and electrolyte types reviewed by different researchers, influence the mechanism. Lastly, an overview of the electropolishing technique's development is given as a resource for further study.
