FINISH APPEARANCE & TYPICAL SURFACE READING (Ra)
In order to fully optimise the benefits of stainless steel a clear and precise specification of the finishing is an essential step. The size of the grit to be used as the abrasive for the mechanical finishing needs to be identified to precisely match the existing or intended finish.
There are a number of frequently used methods to achieve a stainless steel finish and these are grinding & polishing, buffing and brushing. At MPE Ltd we use grinding & polishing to achieve various stainless steel finishes from satin to a super mirror finish. Grinding & polishing involves the removal of a layer of metal from the surface of the steel using a cutting action by using hard particles bonded or bound on a backing.
