Systems and methods are described for beneficially influencing the surface morphology of conductive materials using electrochemistry. The systems and methods for beneficially influencing the surface morphology of conductive materials use a bimodal process in which a first current type (AC or DC) is applied to an electrolyte between an electrode and a workpiece, followed by a second current type that is different from the first current type used. The bimodal process can be repeated one or more times.
