Process of Processing Stainless Steel with a Surface Lapping and Polishing Machine


Stainless steel, renowned for its excellent corrosion resistance, superior mechanical properties, ease of machining with surface grinding and polishing equipment, and outstanding weldability, has become a widely preferred engineering material. Moreover, by employing various polishing techniques, it’s possible to achieve surfaces of differing grades on stainless steel sheets, tubes, bars, and profiled materials, significantly enhancing their aesthetic appeal and enabling them to meet high design standards. For different metal materials, diverse application scenarios, and varying surface requirements of metal components, it’s essential to select the appropriate grinding method—or even combine several techniques—to ensure that the finished parts fully satisfy the demands of their intended use.

Moreover, by employing various polishing techniques, it’s possible to achieve different levels of surface finish on stainless steel sheets, tubes, bars, and profiled materials, significantly enhancing their aesthetic appeal and enabling them to meet high design standards. For different types of metal materials and diverse application scenarios, as well as varying surface requirements for metal components, it’s essential to select the appropriate grinding method—or even combine several techniques—to ensure that the finished parts fully satisfy the specific demands of their intended use.


"Chemical polishing," used in flat grinding and polishing machines, involves selectively dissolving the tiny protrusions on the surface being polished while leaving the recesses intact, thereby reducing surface roughness and achieving a smooth, shiny finish. "Mechanical polishing," on the other hand, removes surface irregularities—such as protrusions—through cutting, abrasion, or plastic deformation, resulting in a uniformly smooth and lustrous surface.

Several forms of the double-sided grinding machine processing method

1. Dry Grinding: During dry grinding, only a small amount of lubricant additive needs to be applied to the surface of the grinding tool. The abrasive grains remain largely fixed on the tool throughout the process, and their cutting action is primarily achieved through sliding abrasion. While this method isn’t highly productive, it can deliver exceptionally high machining accuracy and produce surfaces with very low roughness values (Ra 0.02–0.01 μm).
