SS Polishing Work

Stainless Steel Polishing

Metal polishing smooths the surfaces of fabricated metal pieces such as sheets, angles, and pipes, often providing the final finish before parts or materials go to their end use. Polishing stainless steel is highly beneficial, as it noticeably improves its resistance to damage caused by corrosion, environmental factors, wear, and impacts.

Stainless steel can be more challenging to polish than some other metals, but experienced metal polishers can achieve smooth finishes without blemishes or damage. 

The Stainless Steel Polishing Process

The stainless steel polishing process contains between three and seven distinct stages to reach an ideal finish. Many of these stages involve using mechanical abrasive media—such as Alumina, Zirconia and Ceramics in the process of surface conditioning.

The requested finishing standard impacts the number of stages involved in the polishing process. Operators can use abrasives ranging in grit strength from 50-3,000 to gradually increase the smoothness of the finish without damaging the product. The No. 8 finish—one of the highest finishes that provides a mirror-like smoothness—requires abrasive alumina powder.
