Parts are placed in a concentrated acid solution as the anode (positive side) of an electric circuit. An oxygen layer forms in the low areas of the surface, leaving the peaks exposed. Because the peaks receive greater current density than the valleys, more metal ions are pulled from the peaks than the valleys. |
