Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provides an electropolishing treatment method for a stainless steel workpiece, wherein the method comprises the following steps: placing the stainless steel workpiece in an oxalic acid solution and performing supersonic oscillation; performing a first electropolishing treatment to the stainless steel workpiece, wherein the first electropolishing treatment uses the stainless steel workpiece as an anode and 10% to 15% perchloric acid as an electrolyte, and when a constant voltage is set as 12V, the first electropolishing treatment procedure is performed; and performing a second electropolishing treatment to the stainless steel workpiece, wherein the second electropolishing treatment uses the stainless steel workpiece after the first electropolishing treatment as an anode, and an electrolyte consists of ethanol, sulfuric acid and perchloric acid, and when a constant voltage is set as 12V, the second electropolishing treatment is performed to obtain the stainless steel workpiece after the second electropolishing treatment.

What is claimed is: 1. An electropolishing treatment method for a stainless steel workpiece, comprising following steps: placing the stainless steel workpiece in an oxalic acid solution and performing supersonic oscillation; performing a first electropolishing treatment to the stainless steel workpiece, wherein the first electropolishing treatment uses the stainless steel workpiece as an anode and 10% to 15% perchloric acid as an electrolyte, and when a constant voltage is set as 12V to 15V, the first electropolishing treatment procedure is performed; and performing a second electropolishing treatment to the stainless steel workpiece, wherein the second electropolishing treatment uses the stainless steel workpiece after the first electropolishing treatment as an anode, and an electrolyte consists of ethanol, sulfuric acid and perchloric acid, and when a constant voltage is set as 12V to 15V, the second electropolishing treatment is performed to obtain the stainless steel workpiece after the second electropolishing treatment. 2. The electropolishing treatment method for a stainless steel workpiece according to claim 1 , wherein the electrolyte of the second electropolishing treatment consists of 90% to 93% ethanol, 4% to 7% sulfuric acid and 2% to 3% perchloric acid. 3. The electropolishing treatment method for a stainless steel workpiece according to claim 1 , wherein the time of the first electropolishing treatment is between 5 and 10 minutes. 4. The electropolishing treatment method for a stainless steel workpiece according to claim 1 , wherein the time of the second electropolishing treatment is between 15 and 20 minutes. 5. The electropolishing treatment method for a stainless steel workpiece according to claim 1 , wherein the stainless steel workpiece is a workpiece produced by an additive manufacturing equipment. 6. The electropolishing treatment method for a stainless steel workpiece according to claim 1 , wherein the stainless steel workpiece is a 17-4PH® stainless steel workpiece. 7. The electropolishing treatment method for a stainless steel workpiece according to claim 1 , wherein the stainless steel workpiece is a stainless steel workpiece of heat treatment state or additive manufacturing state. 8. The electropolishing treatment method for a stainless steel workpiece according to claim 1 , wherein the time of the supersonic oscillation is between 60 and 70 minutes.
