Gray Non-Woven Polishing Wheel, commonly referred to as a “non-woven wheel,” is an important abrasive material widely used in metal polishing. Let’s explore more about this material in the following article.
General Introduction to the gray non-woven polishing wheel
The gray non-woven polishing wheel belongs to the group of abrasive materials commonly known as non-woven wheels, felt wheels, or felt buffs. Its main components include non-woven fibers, abrasive grains, adhesive, and industrial additives. The abrasive grains on the wheel’s surface create roughness and texture, enabling it to effectively remove imperfections from metal surfaces.
Gray Non-Woven Polishing Wheel – A Specialized Abrasive Material for Mechanical Polishing
Non-woven wheels come in a variety of colors such as green, red, black, and gray. Among these, red and gray non-woven wheels are the most commonly used, with each type serving different polishing purposes.
Non-woven wheels are typically used with mechanical grinding or polishing machines. The operator mounts the wheel onto the machine’s spindle (either a tapered or straight spindle) and starts the machine so that the wheel makes direct contact with the workpiece surface through friction.
Applications of the gray non-woven polishing wheel
The grit size of the abrasive grains on the wheel determines its surface finishing capability. Coarse-grit wheels are used for removing burrs, bumps, and surface irregularities on metal. Fine-grit wheels are used to enhance the gloss and smoothness of the surface. Notably, gray non-woven polishing wheels can also create attractive hairline finishes on metal surfaces.
The abrasive grains on the non-woven wheel effectively remove imperfections from metal surfaces.
Similar to sandpaper, a non-woven wheel uses the friction between its abrasive grains and the metal surface to smooth and enhance the surface’s gloss. After manufacturing, raw products often have rough surfaces, sharp burrs, and a dull appearance. Polishing with a non-woven wheel improves the surface finish and enhances the overall aesthetics of the product.
In addition to smoothing and polishing, non-woven wheels can also create hairline scratches on stainless steel surfaces, adding to their visual appeal. A specialized polishing machine equipped with non-woven wheels is commonly used to create hairline finishes on sheet-type products.
