2. Polishing (metalworking) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polishing_(metalworking)

   Polishing is often used to enhance the appearance of an item, prevent contamination of instruments, remove oxidation, create a reflective surface, or prevent corrosion in pipes. In metallography and metallurgy, polishing is used to create a flat, defect-free surface for examination of a metal's microstructure under a microscope. Silicon-based ...

3. Polishing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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]

4. Electropolishing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electropolishing

   Electropolishing, also known as electrochemical polishing, anodic polishing, or electrolytic polishing (especially in the metallography field), is an electrochemical process that removes material from a metallic workpiece, reducing the surface roughness by levelling micro-peaks and valleys, improving the surface finish.

5. Surface finishing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_finishing

   A #4 architectural finish is characterized by fine polishing grit lines that are uniform and directional in appearance. It is produced by polishing the metal with a 120–180 grit belt or wheel finish and then softened with an 80–120 grit greaseless compound or a medium non woven abrasive belt or pad. #4 Dairy or sanitary finish

6. Tumble finishing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tumble_finishing

   Metal tumbling is used to burnish, deburr, clean, radius, de-flash, descale, remove rust, polish, brighten, surface harden, prepare parts for further finishing, and break off die cast runners. [citation needed] The process is fairly simple: a horizontal barrel is filled with the parts which is then rotated. Variations of this process usually ...

7. Rotten stone - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotten_stone

   Rotten stone, sometimes spelled as rottenstone, also known as tripoli, is fine powdered porous rock used as a polishing abrasive for metal smithing, historically for the grinding of optical lenses and in woodworking. It is usually weathered limestone mixed with diatomaceous, amorphous, or crystalline silica.
