The final look of a component can say a lot about its quality. At Yicen Machining, we offer advanced brushed and electropolished finishes that not only elevate appearance but also enhance the part’s performance in critical applications. Whether you’re targeting a refined visual texture or improved functional surfaces, our dual-finishing process delivers results you can trust.
Unlike mechanical processes, electropolishing uses an electrochemical method to smooth and passivate metal surfaces. It carefully removes a thin surface layer, evening out microscopic peaks and valleys for a bright, hygienic, and corrosion-resistant finish. Particularly effective on stainless steel, electropolishing is a go-to solution for parts requiring sterility and precision.
Brushing sets the stage removing inconsistencies and creating uniformity. Electropolishing then refines that surface by adding brightness, smoothness, and added protection. Together, they produce components that perform reliably and look exceptional.
Yicen Machining adjusts each process to meet your unique specs, whether you need medical-grade finishes or visually striking consumer parts.

Not typically. Brushing is suitable for aluminum, but electropolishing is generally reserved for stainless steel and certain other metals.
Brushed parts have a matte grain, while electropolished ones are glossy. Combined, the result is sleek and professional.
Yes. Electropolished stainless steel meets hygiene standards required for sterile and clean-room environments.
It removes only a very thin layer, but it can slightly alter high-precision features. We account for this during process planning.
Not always, but brushing improves uniformity and ensures cleaner, more consistent electropolishing results.
