Nowadays, polishing steel after processing and manufacturing using machinery is becoming increasingly common. Polishing machines need to be combined properly with suitable abrasive materials to maximize their effectiveness. Let’s explore with LEKA the three specialized abrasive materials used for steel polishing.

Steel polishing stones (non-woven polishing wheels) specialized for creating hairline and satin scratches

Steel polishing stones, also known as non-woven polishing wheels, polishing buffs, or polishing wheels, are abrasive materials made from industrial fabric fibers, abrasive grains, and adhesive. Non-woven polishing wheels have a rough, coarse surface. Therefore, they provide good friction and have many advantages that make surfaces shiny, enhance aesthetics, and increase the product’s value.

Non-woven wheels mainly originate from countries like China and Thailand, and are trusted and widely used by consumers in the Vietnamese market.

Non-woven wheels 

The purpose of non-woven wheels is to create a uniform matte finish on the material’s surface, remove welding stains, eliminate rust, clean the surface, and enhance the product’s aesthetics. Additionally, non-woven polishing wheels can create decorative scratches on metal sheet surfaces and are used for polishing stainless steel, copper, aluminum, and more.

Non-woven wheels are compatible with various machines that have spindle holes, from simple machines like two-wheel grinders, belt sanders (belt grinding machines), to double-disc flat grinders.

Polishing compound used with mechanical grinders such as bench grinders, sanding belt machines, and sanding roll machines.

Polishing compound, also known as polishing wax, is a catalyst that helps stainless steel become shinier or smoother when processed with grinding machines. The compound comes in various colors such as green, white, and brown, usually formed into rectangular blocks wrapped in plastic film.

To use the polishing compound, the operator simply turns on the grinder. Once the grinding wheel or buffing pad is spinning steadily, the compound is brought into contact with the surface of the rotating wheel or pad. This allows the compound to adhere to the polishing wheel, enabling effective polishing and surface finishing of the product.

Polishing solution for steel used with vibratory machines and abrasive media

In vibratory polishing technology, to polish steel surfaces, we use vibratory machines combined with abrasive media and a polishing solution for steel. This polishing solution is widely favored for its ability to deliver a high-gloss finish, environmental friendliness, and ease of use. Compared to other polishing products, metal polishing solutions offer numerous outstanding advantages: safe for operators, non-irritating to the skin upon contact, non-flammable, and most notably, capable of achieving up to 90% surface quality.

Using the polishing solution is extremely simple. It is provided in liquid, paste, or concentrated form and is diluted with water at a ratio of 1:6 to 1:10. This flexibility helps customers select the right product and significantly reduces costs.
