Electrolytic polishing is a process in which metal from the object being treated is dissolved as a result of electric current. The object is for this purpose placed in a special electrically conductive solution. Electrolytic polishing is therefore the opposite of electroplating. In electroplating dissolved metal ions are deposited on the metal surface. In electrolytic polishing the object is partially dissolved causing metals in the form of metal ions to dissolve. 4, record 2, English, - electro%2Dpolishing
