A low-hazardous electropolishing process has been developed to remove oxide layer(s) from the surface of nitinol needles. Low concentrations of citric acid and sulfamic acid are mixed with medium concentrations of sulfuric acid to use as an electrolyte solution. The process can be easily fitted into current suture needle manufacturing processes as well as into processes require electropolishing of nitinol-containing medical devices.

Disclosed is a method for manufacturing a corrosion-resistant hot-stamping part and a device thereof. The method includes the following steps: blanking a bare steel plate into a required blank shape; heating the blank to above AC3 in an oxygen-free heating furnace to austenite the blank; putting the austenitized blank into a mold to mold a part; and conducting a surface treatment of the part to form a corrosion-resistant coating layer on a surface of the part. The hot-stamping part manufactured using the described method has good surface quality and great corrosion-resistant performance

A method of plating a workpiece, the method includes electrochemically removing any oxide on the surface of the workpiece by applying a first waveform to the workpiece and a cathode both placed in a first electrolyte solution, and electroplating the workpiece surface by applying a second waveform to the workpiece and an anode both placed in a second electrolyte solution including a plating material.

Systems and methods for beneficially affecting the surface morphology of electrically conductive materials using electrochemistry are described. The systems and methods for beneficially affecting the surface morphology of electrically conductive materials use a bimodal process in which a first current type (alternating or direct) is applied across an electrolyte between an electrode and a workpiece followed by applying a second current type different from the first current type is used. The bimodal process may be repeated one or more times.

An electrolyte for electropolishing metal surfaces, in particular workpieces, in particular made of titanium or titanium alloys such as nitinol. The electrolyte composition includes methanesulfonic acid and more than one polyhydric alcohol. The content of methanesulfonic acid is less than 15 vol %, the polyhydric alcohols having at least one diol and at least one polyalcohol. The at least one diol accounts for 20 to 65 vol %, and the at least one polyalcohol accounts for 20 to 65 vol %
