The 46th William Blum Lecture, Adventures in Pulse/Pulse Reverse Electrolytic Processes: Explorations and Applications in Surface Finishing

This paper focuses on the application of pulse/pulse reverse (P/PR) electrolytic processes to problems of relevance to the surface finishing industry. After a brief introduction to the concept and principles of P/PR electrolysis, I discuss the importance of electrolytic cell design in establishing a uniform hydrodynamic boundary layer. I then focus on past developments and current applications of P/PR electrolysis at Faraday Technology, including (1) cathodic processes for electrodeposition and electrophoretic deposition, (2) anodic processes for electrodeburring, electropolishing and electroetching and (3) processes for electro-assisted ion exchange.
