Steps of the Metal Polishing Process
Polishing involves different stages, each using specific tools and materials. However, not all stages may be necessary for every workpiece, depending on the material and its initial condition.
Cleaning
It is essential to thoroughly clean the surface before polishing. Metals often look dull because of scratches or dirt obstructing light reflection. Thoroughly clean the surface; if it remains dull, proceed with polishing. This process is mainly used for jewelry pieces with a coating or plating.
Metal Sanding
Metal sanding, also known as roughing, involves removing defects from a piece’s surface to achieve a smooth, imperfection-free finish. Some parts cannot undergo this process because they cannot tolerate the hardness of the sandpaper and must go directly to the grinding phase.
Grinding
Grinding, also known as honing, is essential for removing sandpaper marks and swarf and ensuring the part meets the required specifications.
Polishing
This stage removes the marks the grinding process leaves on the component, preparing it for the expected finish.
Glossing
The final step is to restore the shine to the piece’s surface and give it a uniform finish. This step is for parts that won’t have any additional metallic coating. Different finishes, such as textured, glossy, and matte, are available.
Advantages of Metal Polishing
Metal polishing has several advantages in Sheet metal fabrication, such as emphasizing shapes, designs, and features.
1. Add a layer of protection
Polishing metal, such as titanium, has advantages beyond just enhancing its appearance. Polished metals are more durable and maintain their good looks for longer than unpolished metals. The abrasive process in polishing helps prevent contamination and oxidation on the metal surface. It creates a protective layer that is reflective and reduces wear and tear, as well as corrosion.
2. Product Aesthetics
Machined Metal parts do not automatically have a smooth and attractive surface. The polishing machine’s abrasive wheels smooth the machined components’ rough surfaces. The process eliminates scratches or imperfections on the metal part’s surface, resulting in a smooth and shiny finish.
3. Enhanced Reflection of Light
The highly reflective surface of polished metal parts makes them ideal for architecture, jewelry, and decor.
4. Improvement in Cleanliness
Proper metal polishing techniques provide a suitable finish for your parts, which helps to prevent the growth of bacteria and germs that could harm and worsen the surface. Additionally, well-polished metal components have smooth surfaces that are easy to clean and maintain, resulting in increased efficiency and reduced cleaning time. It also means a decrease in harmful chemicals when cleaning the metal surface, as some substances can accelerate the wear and corrosion of metal parts.
5. Improved Functionality
Metal polishing enhances the functionality of metal components in precision instruments and machinery. It eliminates surface imperfections, achieves a smooth finish, and reduces friction, improving performance and conductivity.
Types of Metal Polishing Finishes
Fine Finish – It creates a smooth surface.
Brushed Satin Finish: Fine polishing lines that run in a single direction.
Grain Finish – The final surface of a course has a uniform rough finish.
Mirror Finish: All surface defects are removed, creating a bright finish with a clear reflection. The metal type determines the required buffing and coloring.
Smooth and Buffed Finish: A typical chrome plating finish has a bright, shiny appearance but may have imperfections.
Metal Polishing Tips
1. To prevent overheating, use fast-cutting pastes and avoid prolonged rubbing. For uniform roughness, use abrasive discs with polyester films. Use a reliable wax polish to preserve polished metal. Ensure the abrasive material is clear and tight enough.
2. It’s essential to use a separate polishing buffing wheel for each color of the polishing compound.
3. It is important to avoid combining various polishing compounds on one polishing buffing wheel.
4. For the protection of shiny objects, it is recommended to use a high-quality wax polish.
5. To eliminate black grease stains, use a gentle and dry microfiber cloth.
6. Apply the polishing compound in small amounts and frequently.
7.When removing marks or scratches, try to polish them rather than along them.
8. Remember to wear the proper safety equipment.
