The correct way to polish stainless steel

There are three common polishing methods: mechanical polishing, chemical polishing and electrochemical polishing, which have their own advantages and disadvantages. As for the specific choice, it is also necessary to comprehensively consider and select the appropriate polishing method according to the structure and size of stainless steel products and product performance requirements.

1. Mechanical stainless steel polishing.

It has the advantages of good levelness and high brightness after processing. Its disadvantages are high labor intensity, serious pollution, and complex parts can not be processed, and its gloss is not consistent, the gloss retention time is not long, and it is stuffy and rusty. It is suitable for processing simple parts, medium and small products.

2. Chemical stainless steel polishing.

Its advantages are less investment in processing equipment, complex parts can be cast, fast speed, high efficiency and good corrosion resistance. Its disadvantages are poor brightness, gas overflow, the need for ventilation equipment and difficult heating. It is suitable for processing small batch complex parts and products with low brightness requirements for small parts.

3. Electrochemical stainless steel polishing

Its advantages are long mirror gloss, stable process, less pollution, low cost and good corrosion resistance. Its disadvantages are high pollution resistance, large one-time investment in processing equipment, complex parts require tooling and auxiliary electrodes, and mass production also requires cooling facilities. Suitable for mass production, mainly used for high-end products,

Export products, tolerance products, its processing technology is stable and easy to operate.
