1. Definition of electrolysis and polishing
Electrolysis is a surface treatment method that uses electrochemical principles to carry out a chemical reaction on the surface of a metal. Polishing, on the other hand, is a surface treatment method that removes undesirable textures on the surface of the material by mechanical force and improves the finish.
2.the application of electrolysis and polishing
Electrolysis is commonly used in metal surface treatment, can remove metal surface oxides, rust and other pollutants, improve the surface quality of the metal, at the same time has to improve the gloss of the metal surface, corrosion resistance and other good characteristics. Polishing is relatively wide, not only for metal materials, but also for plastics, glass and other materials surface treatment.
3. the principle of electrolysis and polishing
The principle of electrolysis is the use of electrolyte solution under the action of the current, the cathode surface oxides or other pollutants reduced to the solution, while the anode surface oxidation reaction. Polishing is mainly through mechanical force, the use of abrasives and other tools to remove the material surface imperfections, scratches, etc., to form a smooth and flat surface.
4. the difference between electrolysis and polishing
a. Different principles: electrolysis using electrochemical principles of metal surface treatment, polishing is through the role of mechanical force to achieve surface treatment.
b. Different scope of application: electrolysis is mainly applicable to metal surfaces, while polishing is applicable to metal, plastic, glass and other materials surface.
c. Different treatment effects: electrolysis can improve the gloss of the metal surface, corrosion resistance and other good characteristics, polishing is to remove the material surface imperfections, scratches, etc., to form a smooth and flat surface.
Overall, although electrolysis and polishing are both surface treatment methods, but the principle, scope of application and treatment effect are different, need to choose the appropriate treatment method according to the specific circumstances.
