Bar Belt Polish

Bar belt polishing is a technique of enhancing the surface finish and look of metal bars, such as stainless steel, mild steel, and alloy bars. The operation is done through the use of abrasive belts in eliminating surface imperfections, oxidation, and micro scratches to get a smooth-polished surface. Bar belt polishing is widely applied in high-grade manufacturing industries that demand higher surface finishes, such as the automotive, aerospace, and construction industries.

Preparation: Dirt, oil, and loose detritus are removed for cleaning. The bar is tested for testing against original specification for polishing.

Polishing: The bar is passed through a belt-polishing machine. Rotating, high-speed belts of abrasive materials like aluminium oxide or silicon carbide polish the bar. Successively finer grit sizes in higher order from coarse to fine are used based on the finish desired

Final Touches: The bar is cleaned or polished following the polishing operation to finish off the last bit of trash. The bar can be coated with a protective paint (e.g., oil or anti-corrosive spray) in a bid to seal the finish.
