C25F PROCESSES FOR THE ELECTROLYTIC REMOVAL OF MATERIALS FROM OBJECTS; APPARATUS THEREFOR
Introduced: July 1974
Description
C25F encompasses electrochemical processes and equipment designed to selectively remove material layers or deposits from solid objects through electrolysis. This includes electropolishing, electrorefining, electrostripping of coatings, and electrolytic cleaning or descaling applications across metallic and non-metallic substrates. The classification covers both the procedural parameters (current control, electrolyte composition, electrode configuration) and the apparatus configuration required for material removal, distinguishing it from electrodeposition (C25D) which adds material rather than removing it.
IPC and CPC are identically structured here. All 4 subcodes exist in both systems.
2 shared codes have differing titles between IPC and CPC.
IPC defines codes here since 1974.
