What Is Brushing?

To create a brushed steel handrail, different abrasive brushes are used to improve the appearance of the steel. These abrasive brushes are filamentary in nature and made from steel wire. They can remove the base material without affecting the dimensions of the railing itself and ensure there is no damage to the final product. When the brushes contact the surface of the steel railing, they generate a low cutting pressure that moves from the edge in a single direction along the surface. This process makes sure the dimensions of the railing do not change, instead creating a smooth, uniform surface along the railing.

The Benefits of Brushing

  • Brushing improves the durability of the railing, which is vital when it is in an area where it gets lots of use.
  • The brushing process removes any impurities or defects from the surface that can occur during the welding process and other operations.
  • It enhances its resistance to corrosive elements as well as its tolerance to a number of chemical products.
  • Paints can adhere much more readily to brushed stainless steel handrails than they are to their non-brushed counterparts.
  • Finally, brushing enhances the uniform look and overall aesthetic properties of the final steel railing product.

What is Mirror Polishing?

Mirror polishing employs grinding and polishing processes on the steel railing to achieve a smooth and shiny mirror-like surface. The process involves sanding down the surface to remove any blemishes and then buffing to create a mirror-like look. The rough grinding process wears down any rough or irregular shapes that appear on the steel railing after welding. This is followed by fine grinding, which further removes any marks or impurities to ensure a fully smooth surface overall. Finally, a polishing tool is applied repeatedly to the surface to give it a smooth and glossy mirror-like finish.

The Benefits of Mirror Polishing

  • Mirror polished stainless steel railings offer a high gloss reflective surface that creates a feeling of cleanliness and luxury.
  • The process removes any roughness from the surface and eliminates any scratches, small cracks, or dirt inclusions.
  • It improves the steel railing’s resistance to wear over continued usage and enhances its overall durability.
  • Mirror polishing improves the physical properties of the railing, including stress distribution along the surface.
  • It improves the bonding force between the steel surface and the coating layer, making it easier to refine the finished product.
