Electropolishing

[heatstuff]

Hi,

I am trying to find data on electropolished steels (emissivity, etc.) Can anybody please point me to a proper resource page?

Thanx a bunch,

Have you tried:

Yes, I have tried it. No good, though. I'll keep looking. Thanks.

Are you expected the emissivity to be radically different than the 0.11 given in the table?

No, I do not. This number is as good as any other, huh? At least a reference number. I appreciate the help.

That value seems pretty consistent with the value for polished nickel at 0.07.

Even polished aluminum is listed at 0.04 to 0.06.
