Polishing
We polish out die marks, impact marks and dents so parts are smooth before plating.
01Overview
Polishing smooths out die marks, impact marks and dents on metal parts before they go into the plating tanks. A plated coating follows the surface underneath, so any mark left on the part still shows after plating — smoothing it first gives an even finish that passes inspection.
We use pneumatic polishers on parts of many sizes. With the plating lines in the same plant, polished parts go straight onto a plating line — no shipping between factories.
Our polishers work in full personal protective equipment — mask, gloves and apron.
