Polishing and linishing are surface finishing techniques aimed at refining metal surfaces to achieve desired levels of smoothness, shine, and texture.
Polishing involves using abrasives and polishing compounds to remove imperfections, scratches, and surface irregularities from metal surfaces. This process results in a mirror-like finish, enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the material.
Linishing focuses on creating a uniform surface texture by grinding or sanding the metal with abrasive belts or wheels. This process removes surface layers, creating a consistent finish and preparing the metal for subsequent treatments or coatings.
The design of some components demands we undertake a linishing or polishing operation or a combination of both, prior to Electroplating or Powdercoating.
This typically will be to remove heavier flash or burrs and to provide a high-quality surface finish for these subsequent processes.
The final finish can often have combined up to 4 separate operations for the optimum preparation.
Our polishing and linishing facilities allow the processing of zinc diecastings, cast steel, brass and aluminium components with speed, accuracy and a high-quality level.
