1. Pre-treatment Preparation
Surface Cleaning:Remove dust and impurities using chemical cleaning agents or compressed air to ensure a contaminant-free surface.
Defect Inspection:Identify surface imperfections like burrs, oxidation layers, or casting marks with visual or microscopic examination.
2. Grinding Process
Coarse Grinding:Use abrasive discs (120-320#) or grinding machines to eliminate prominent irregularities and burrs. Common tools include:Grinding wheels、Rotary files
Fine Grinding:Progressively refine surfaces with 400-800# sanding discs or elastic flap wheels to achieve uniform texture.
3. Polishing Process
Mechanical Polishing:Apply polishing compounds (e.g., cerium oxide slurry) with wool/felt wheels or fiber discs for mirror finishes.
Fire Polishing:For glass components, use oxygen torches to melt surface micro-defects, resulting in a "fire finish" without tool contact.
4. Post-treatment
Cleaning:Remove residual polishing media via ultrasonic cleaning or solvent wiping.
Surface Coating:Apply protective treatments like anodizing (for aluminum) or special oxidation (e.g., LED housing anti-corrosion).
5. Quality Control
Visual Inspection:Check for scratches or uneven gloss under controlled lighting.
Roughness Testing:Verify surface smoothness with profilometers (Ra ≤0.8μm for high-end fixtures).
