Polishing Process
First, the metal itself glows naturally. It’s strong and can be worked into almost anything. That’s to say it also can be polished up to a beautiful mirror finish. But over time, it oxidizes and scratches. Oxidation from scratches prevents light from reflecting back, which can ruin the product’s luster. By polishing, you can remove the oxide layer as well as a very thin layer of the metal itself. Doing so smooths the metal, removes blemishes, and makes it sparkle again.
With the advancement of technology, most factories will choose machine polishing. We only need to adjust the value and position of the machine. Almost no manual handling is required.
In summarize, aluminum sheet coil can be polished by machine. We can adopt plenty of methods and tools to polish metals to reach mirror effect.
