If you teach in an engineering school, the library should have all of the references that you would ever need. Also, it would be more believable than anything that you get from the internet, unless it is an internationally recognized expert.

Ed. note: A couple of those books with coverage of electropolishing are the Electroplating Engineering Handbook [on AbeBooks or eBay or Amazon affil links] and the Metal Finishing Guidebook. Good luck!

Knowing Engineering Colleges in India, I would not expect this kind of literature there, not in the developing countries. There could be exceptions.

Sachin, have you contacted electroplating chemical or machinery suppliers and see if they have any literature? The other source would be NACE International in Mumbai. Contacts are Prof. A.S. Khanna, Corrosion Science and Engg, IIT Mumbai, and Dr. M. K. Tolani, Surface Eng. section of Metallurgy Div. BARC, Mumbai. Tolani probably would have knowledge of electropolishing. I am sure IIT library would have some books.
