 Technology Profile

Title:

Brush Electropolishing of 316LN Stainless steel

Value Proposition:

This technology is useful for removing nuclear waste which is deposited on nuclear  pump walls and pipeline on site. This is only process to remove the nuclear waste efficiently.

Summary Application:

Useful for contamination removal in nuclear pump walls and pipelines.

Advantages:
  • We can use this technology on site, i.e no need to dismantle the contaminated components.
  • This technology we can execute using robot. So this approach will avoid the nuclear material exposure on to the environment and human.
  • We can achieve ultra smooth surface with very low roughness.
  • Controlled removal of surface contamination without affecting the base substrate.
  • This technology provides defect free surfaces without pits and  scratches .
