The FerroChem and ChemoLux process are used to deburring and smooth metal surfaces. Compared to grinding and honing, there is no mechanical stress or heat effect on the surface. Inaccessible corners and edges are also included and treated very effectively. Roughness is reduced and surface defects are eliminated, which gives the components greater fatigue resistance.

Chemical polishing causes controlled chemical removal at the surface with the effects of deburring and smoothing. The parts are immersed in the processing bath loose in baskets or drums or individually on racks. For processing long pipe or bore holes, the bath fluid can be pumped through the component.
FerroChem and ChemoLux baths are chemically stable for a long period of use, which allows precise control of the metal removal based on the dwell time. The rate of removal is between 0.5 and 4 µm per minute – depending on the hardness and composition of the material – and can be increased by movement of the liquid. The FerroChem and ChemoLux baths are distinguished by their efficiency and cost-effectiveness as well as low emissions compared to conventional processes.
