Struers is a Danish engineering company, providing equipment for metallography [3] preparation and inspection. [4] Holger F. Struer, a Danish chemist, founded Struers in 1875 in Copenhagen. [5] Struers introduced Micropol, a new process for electrolytic polishing.
Polishing is the process of creating a smooth and shiny surface by rubbing it or by applying a chemical treatment, leaving a clean surface with a significant specular reflection (still limited by the index of refraction of the material according to the Fresnel equations). [1]
While used less extensively than traditional mechanical polishing, electropolishing is an alternative form of polishing that uses the principles of electrochemistry to remove microscopic layers of metal from a base surface. [3] This method of polishing can be fine-tuned to give a wide range of finishes, from matte to mirror-bright.
Antwerp subsequently emerged as a major diamond polishing center. In 1946 Joop and Louis Asscher were invited to start a new company in New York, but they chose to remain in their home of Amsterdam and rebuild the Asscher Diamond Company. During the 1950s and 1960s the company began exploring new markets and became a prominent diamantaire in Japan.
TriMas and Masco Tech merged to form one company offering a wide array of products. Masco announced a 2 for 1 stock split, which was the ninth time the company had split its shares since 1960 and was the 40th year in a row that its dividends were increased. This merger left two companies, Masco Tech. and Masco Corp. [citation needed]
Tumble finishing, also known as tumbling or rumbling, [1] is a technique for smoothing and polishing a rough surface on relatively small parts. In the field of metalworking , a similar process called barreling , or barrel finishing , [ 2 ] works upon the same principles.
