Mechanical Burnishing
Mechanical burnishing
Mechanical burnishing gives a very lustrous and mirror-like surface.
Technical specifications:
- E3
Advantages/Disadvantages:
- Places higher demands on the quality of the extrusion
- Dirt-repelling/Easy to clean
- Friction-reducing
Application:
- Decorative items
- Technical items where a low degree of roughness is required
Effect on scratches and minor flaws in the surface:
- No effect on scratches and minor flaws
- When grinding prior to mechanical burnishing scratches and minor flaws can be masked
Structure and appearance after treatment:
- Lustrous
- Mirror-like
Suitable alloys:
- Alloys of aluminium, the most extruded profiles and sheets
- Where a high lustre is required pure alloys should be used
