Gillespie, L. K.

This ten-lesson text on deburring is designed to provide engineers and production supervisors with an overall understanding of deburring economics and current capabilities. Chapter 7 discusses deburring techniques. Electropolish and electrochemical deburring (ECD) are not the answer to everyone's deburring problems. They are high technology processes when compared to tumbling processes. They require more care, skill, and knowledge than many of the older processes. They are not mass finishing processes. In contrast, they can deburr areas totally untouchable by other processes, and electropolish can produce brilliant finishes. ECD selectively works only in one area, and neither process exerts cutting forces which would distort thin sections. ECD is applicable to all metals and all sizes of burrs. Once established, both processes can be controlled by unskilled help.
