It is common to electropolish Nitinol parts in a solution of sulfuric acid and methanol cooled to subzero temperatures, typically -30˚C to -50˚C. This works, and it almost considered a standard method of electropolishing Nitinol and similar materials. But working at these low temperatures is difficult. Powerful chillers are needed. It takes time to cool the solution. Condensation issues and icing around the EP vessel need to be addressed.
