Beyond the Surface: The Hidden Science of Nitinol Electropolishing
A practical look at Nitinol electropolishing from two technical perspectives.
Live Webinar
Why does Nitinol electropolishing sometimes feel more like a “dark art” than a repeatable manufacturing process?
Nitinol electropolishing goes far beyond creating a smooth, polished surface. Component geometry, oxide layers, heat-affected zones, surface condition, chemistry, and process parameters all shape the final result.
Those variables can affect more than appearance, impacting final device performance, longevity, and overall patient safety.
Join technical experts from Lighteum Medical and RBP Chemical Technology for a live discussion bringing together two perspectives on Nitinol electropolishing: deep application and process expertise, and the specialized chemistry behind it.
Jose Maeso and Witold Paw, Ph.D., will share practical insights into the hidden variables driving results, common processing challenges, and how teams can reduce inconsistency and rework throughout product development.
