TLDR
This study attempted to polish pure titanium test pieces electrolytically to mirror surface at the size of cast denture frames by using a solution consisting of 70 ml ethyl alcohol, 30 ml iso-propylcohol, 6 g aluminum chloride, and 25 g zinc chloride.Abstract:
This study attempted to polish pure titanium test pieces electrolytically to mirror surface at the size of cast denture frames. Electrolytic polishing of pure titanium could be done on an area of 30 cm2 with a non-aqueous electrolyte. Small pure titanium plates could be polished electrolytically, but a uniformly smooth surface could not be obtained easily with large testpiece. The optimal electrolytic conditions were 30 V for 6 min at 25 degrees C using a solution consisting of 70 ml ethyl alcohol, 30 ml iso-propyl alcohol, 6 g aluminum chloride, and 25 g zinc chloride. The solution was safe and had less restriction of frequency of use.read more

TL;DR: SEM observation of the polished surfaces showed that wrought CP Ti was even and completely featureless, while wrought Ti-6Al-4V alloy was pitted, and a needle-like phase containing traces of iron was observed on the polished surface.

Surface properties of electrochemically buffed titanium casting.
TL;DR: Electrochemical buffing, a combined process of electrochemical and mechanical polishing, was applied to titanium casting and high amount of aluminum was present in MEP surface, indicating surface alteration due to chemical reactions with the abrasive material.
