Tools for stainless steel workshop

(OP)
Dear friends,
i need some iformation about the latest tools and technologie documents for a stainless steel workshop developement.
Is there any information about ultra-sonic welding for stainless steel and also about the electric picling technique.
thank you
Happy new year.

RE: Tools for stainless steel workshop

Here are a couple of websites that have equipment for ultrasonic welding of S/S.  As far as the Electroplishing of S/S any supplier of plating equipment will have all the information needed.  Just be aware that electropolishing S/S requires a very high current density and has to be in well ventilated area.  We used 100% duty cycle welding machines for the power supplies for electropolishing S/S.

RE: Tools for stainless steel workshop

unclesyd gave some good ultrasonic welding sites.  Here are some for brush electropolishing/electrocleaning of welds:
Brooktronics -- http://www.brooktronics.com/Stainless%20Steel%20Pass..h...
Sifco -- http://www.brushplating.com/ep.htm
LDC -- http://www.ldcbrushplate.com/homepage.htm
I believe these are the 3 leading US companies in the field of selective electrofinishing. Am familiar with Brooktronics and Sifco. LDC seems to have very good worldwide distribution.

Brush electropolishing/electrocleaning of welds is similar to brush electroplating, except for reverse current:  the workpiece is the anode rather than the cathode.  I suggest a 0-25 VDC output anodizing or plating rectifier as power supply.
