For a metal with a unidirectional, decorative finish, produced by graining metal with an abrasive belt.
Polishing and buffing processes are used to smooth surfaces using an abrasive and a work wheel or a leather strap. Polishing is a more aggressive process while buffing is less harsh, leading to a smoother, brighter finish.
A typically non-decorative finish, also known as tumbling or rumbling, is a random finish applied via tumbling in an abrasive medium. The method of deburring is excellent for small laser cut, punched, or machined components.
Also known as abrasive blasting, sandblasting is the operation of forcibly propelling a stream of abrasive material against a surface under high pressure to smooth a rough surface, roughen a smooth surface, shape a surface or remove surface contaminants. It can be decorative.
