In the metal processing process, to achieve a smooth, even surface or to create hairline or satin scratches on metal surfaces, selecting the right abrasive material or purchasing suitable nonwoven polishing wheels is extremely important. Therefore, having a clear understanding of the properties and applications of each type of polishing wheel will help you make accurate and effective decisions.
To assist you in this process, we will provide some helpful suggestions and essential knowledge to help you choose the product that best fits your specific needs.
1. What is a Nonwoven?
A nonwoven polishing wheel, also known as a felt or abrasive polishing wheel, is a common polishing material used in the metal surface finishing process. It functions to grind, deburr, polish, and shape products. This material is especially popular for creating hairline or satin finishes on metal surfaces.
Nonwoven polishing wheels are specialized for grinding, deburring, polishing, and shaping products.
2. Common types of nonwoven polishing wheels on the market
Nonwoven polishing wheels are made from felt material and are one of the top choices in metal polishing, especially for stainless steel. On the market today, these wheels come in various models, sizes, and colors, with the two most common types being gray and red nonwoven wheels.
LEKAR nonwoven polishing wheels are officially imported and distributed on the market.
Thanks to the flexibility and elasticity of the nonwoven material, polishing wheels can easily adapt to various tool shapes and sizes during use.
Compared to other polishing materials, polishing wheels deliver a much higher level of gloss and precision, making them the preferred choice for applications that require a superior surface finish such as in the production of medical equipment or restaurant utensils.
3. How to choose high-quality polishing wheels
To identify and purchase polishing wheels that are both high-quality and suitable for different metal types and surface finishing requirements, it’s important to consider several key factors. Below are some aspects you should take into account when making your selection.
Polishing wheels should be securely wrapped in a protective plastic layer to maintain product quality, especially under Vietnam’s harsh environmental conditions.
This protective layer helps safeguard the surface of the polishing wheel, ensuring its hardness and wear resistance remain unaffected during use.
The technical specifications of polishing wheels should be clearly displayed on the label, including basic parameters such as hardness, grit size, and other relevant details. The dimensions on the packaging should also be accurately measured to help users easily determine the actual size of the product.
In terms of appearance, the surface of the polishing wheel should be uniform, without exposed felt fibers. Abrasive particles must be firmly adhered to the wheel surface to ensure optimal grinding performance.
The arbor hole of the polishing wheel should be designed to fit the intended equipment, such as surface grinders, double-end grinders, and 2- or 3-roll grinders, to ensure stable and safe operation.
After polishing, if the product surface does not burn or blacken and no material sticks to it, the polishing wheel is considered high quality.
Note: Before use, the polishing wheel should be dressed once to ensure an even contact surface with the workpiece, preventing the product from blackening, sticking, or burning during polishing.
