Stainless steel Polished Tubes

Polishing and buffing are finishing processes for smoothing the tube surface using an abrasive and a work wheel or a leather strop. Technically polishing refers to processes that use an abrasive that is glued to the work wheel, while buffing uses a loose abrasive applied to the work wheel. Polishing is a more aggressive process while buffing is less harsh, which leads to a smoother, brighter finish. A common misconception is that a polished surface has a mirror bright finish, however most mirror bright finishes are actually buffed.

Polishing is often used to enhance the looks of the Tube, prevent contamination, remove oxidation, create a reflective surface, or prevent corrosion in tubes. In metallurgy, polishing is used to create a flat, defect-free surface for examination of a metal microstructure under a microscope. For Stainless Steel Tubes, generally required grit level remains between 180 to 320 grits, depends upon the uses and application. We have facilities to polish the tubes for desired grit levels.
