INDUSTRIAL POLISHING & SURFACE FINISHING
Industrial Polishing and Mechanical Finishing
In the world of high-end manufacturing, the visual quality of a part is often just as important as its dimensional accuracy. Graphie provides professional Mechanical Polishing services, transforming raw metal components into finished products that meet strict aesthetic specifications.
We specialize in the finishing of Stainless Steel and Aluminum. Unlike shops that offer only one standard "brush," we provide a wide range of surface textures to match your specific design requirements or existing equipment.
Ensure consistent aesthetic quality for Aluminum and Stainless Steel with Linear, Mill, and No. 4 finishes. All our polishing processes are performed in accordance with applicable ASTM surface finish standards.
A Wide Range of Finishes
We offer versatile finishing options, allowing us to process surfaces to any specific grit required by your technical drawings. Our primary finishes include:
-
Linear Grit: A continuous, directional grain that runs the length of the part. This is ideal for architectural trim and panels where a sleek, elongated look is desired.
-
Mill Grit: A finish designed to match or restore the original factory appearance of the material, providing a uniform and consistent surface without an aggressive decorative pattern.
-
No. 4 Finish: The industry standard "Sanitary" or "Satin" finish. It features short, parallel polishing lines that effectively hide fingerprints and light scratches. Widely used for appliances, elevators, and food processing equipment.
-
Metal Finish: A clean, uniform surface treatment that highlights the natural character of the metal while removing manufacturing marks and discoloration.
Custom Grit and Matching
Do you have a specific roughness average (Ra) to meet? Or an existing sample part that we need to match? Because we control the abrasive media, we can execute polishing to any grit count. Whether you need a coarse, rugged texture for grip or a fine, smooth surface for hygiene, we simply adjust the process to hit your target.
Weld Blending and Seamless Fabrication
As a vertically integrated fabricator, our polishing expertise is essential for Weld Blending.
-
The Invisible Joint: After TIG welding a stainless steel corner or enclosure, we grind down the weld bead. We then polish the area using the specific grit (Linear, No. 4, etc.) to blend it perfectly with the surrounding metal.
-
The Result: A seamless component that appears to be made from a single piece of material, with no visible weld scars or heat tint.
