  2. Smooth clean surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smooth_clean_surface

    Smooth clean surface (SCS) is a process applied to hot rolled sheet metal and coils to remove nearly all mill scale and clean the steel surface.. The SCS process feeds hot rolled sheet steel, either as individual blanks or as a continuous strip that is uncoiled, into the SCS "brushing machine".

  3. Tumble finishing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tumble_finishing

    Tumble finishing, also known as tumbling or rumbling, [1] is a technique for smoothing and polishing a rough surface on relatively small parts. In the field of metalworking , a similar process called barreling , or barrel finishing , [ 2 ] works upon the same principles.

  4. Polishing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polishing

    Polishing is the process of creating a smooth and shiny surface by rubbing it or by applying a chemical treatment, leaving a clean surface with a significant specular reflection (still limited by the index of refraction of the material according to the Fresnel equations). [1]

  5. Polishing (metalworking) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polishing_(metalworking)

    Polishing is often used to enhance the appearance of an item, prevent contamination of instruments, remove oxidation, create a reflective surface, or prevent corrosion in pipes. In metallography and metallurgy, polishing is used to create a flat, defect-free surface for examination of a metal's microstructure under a microscope. Silicon-based ...

  6. Surface grinding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_grinding

    Surface grinding is done on flat surfaces to produce a smooth finish. It is a widely used abrasive machining process in which a spinning wheel covered in rough particles ( grinding wheel ) cuts chips of metallic or nonmetallic substance from a workpiece, making a face of it flat or smooth.

  7. Electropolishing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electropolishing

    Creates a clean, smooth surface that is easier to sterilise. Can polish areas that are inaccessible by other polishing methods. Removes a small amount of material (typically 20-40 micrometre in depth in the case of stainless steel) from the surface of the parts, while also removing small burrs or high spots. It can be used to reduce the size of ...

  8. Surface finishing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_finishing

    Also known as a mirror finish. This finish is produced by polishing with at least a 320 grit belt or wheel finish. Care will be taken in making sure all surface defects are removed. The part is sisal buffed and then color buffed to achieve a mirror finish. The quality of this finish is dependent on the quality of the metal being polished.

  9. Sandblasting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandblasting

    Sandblasting, sometimes known as abrasive blasting, is the operation of forcibly propelling a stream of abrasive material against a surface under high pressure to smooth a rough surface, roughen a smooth surface, shape a surface or remove surface contaminants.
