A new electropolishing technique for metallographic specimen preparation of zinc and zinc alloys [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
This article describes results obtained with a new method for electropolishing metallographic specimens of zinc and zinc alloys. An electrolyte containing ethanol, ethylene glycol, and sodium thiocyanate (or ammonium thiocyanate) has been developed. It is demonstrated that this solution has a good polishing action on pure zinc and zinc alloys in the systems ZnAlCu, ZnCuMn, and ZnNiCdFe. The electropolishing process ensures that bright, defect-free surfaces are obtained for most of these alloys, irrespective of the different chemical compositions and phases present. The process is quick and preliminary specimen preparation is minimal.
