In the last years, surface finishing in the automotive industry and motor racing experienced robust growth, a trend that is expected to consolidate with new challenges and opportunities related to fuel efficiency, gas emissions, longer part life, component downsizing and electric vehicles.
Dry electropolishing performs high-quality, fully automated surface finishing increasing efficiency, performance and lifespan of automotive components. Metal-to-metal contact power transfer components like gears, transmission parts, crankshafts and camshafts, bearings and other high value, delicate or complex parts are treated with precision following specific finishing requirements.
The technology is able to improve surfaces with smoothness, precision and negative skewness impacting positively in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions reduction of automotive vehicles.
DLyte surface finishing has also impact in the fatigue life and overall safety and reliability of the parts providing an ultraclean, corrosion resistance and free of burrs surface. Additionally, the process gives auto parts a uniformly bright, shiny and chrome-like appearance.
DLyte also improves the work environment of companies by replacing traditional polishing and hazardous materials. Surface finishing automation protects technicians from exposure to chemical agents in the workplace.
The consumables used are safe and clean, without the risk of generating liquid chemical waste or dust during the polishing process.
