Faraday Technology, Inc. has continued to develop advanced technologies for edge and surface finishing of metals and alloys. The technology focuses on finishing difficult to cut materials prominent in the medical industry, such as titanium, titanium alloys, and stainless steel. Unlike other finishing processes where the working fluids are highly acidic and toxic, this process achieves high rates of metal removal in the presence of water based, neutral salt electrolytes (e.g. sodium chloride). The driving force behind this advanced finishing technique is the electric field, which is applied in the form of a user-defined pulsed waveform. Through the proper selection of the waveform parameters, this process can provide: (1) enhanced process control and (2) excellent surface finishes. This paper will provide a brief introduction to the theoretical aspects of this technology as well as current development efforts funded by both government agencies and private companies.
