Mechanical Surface Refinement
Relying on physical abrasion and micro-cutting, this method systematically levels surface peaks and induces plastic deformation. Our capabilities range from standard buffing and mass vibratory tumbling to creating highly reflective mirror finishes and elegant brushed textures, perfect for functional smoothing and premium cosmetic appearances.
Electropolishing / ECP
Utilizing highly controlled anodic dissolution, this process preferentially dissolves microscopic surface peaks using electrical current. It eliminates micro-burrs and creates an ultra-clean, passive, and highly corrosion-resistant surface without applying mechanical stress. This is the ultimate standard for complex medical devices and semiconductor components.
Chemical Polishing (化学抛光)
This non-electrical, immersion-based process utilizes specialized chemical solutions to microscopically etch and smooth the metal substrate. It easily reaches deep internal cavities, blind holes, and intricate cross-holes to deliver uniform brightness throughout the entire part, making it highly optimized for complex aluminum and copper components.
Advanced & Precision Polishing (特种与精密抛光)
Deploying cutting-edge technologies like magnetic and ultrasonic finishing, we easily process intricate areas and extremely delicate structures. This non-traditional approach perfectly deburrs tiny dead corners, precision internal threads, and ultra-precision molds without altering critical dimensional tolerances, ensuring flawless results for your most demanding micro-features.
Versatile Polishing for Any Material
As an all-around hardware manufacturer, our polishing expertise extends across a vast range of substrates to meet your specific industry needs
Stainless Steel & Steel
Achieving brilliant mirror finishes and hygienic, corrosion-resistant surfaces. Ideal for medical devices, food-grade equipment, and premium decorative hardware.
Aluminum Alloys
The perfect surface preparation before anodizing. We remove CNC machining marks to provide a flawless, ultra-smooth foundation for high-quality color or clear coatings.
Copper & Brass
Restoring natural metallic luster, removing oxidation, and meticulously preparing surfaces for high-end decorative electroplating or clear protective coatings.
Custom Plastics
Utilizing specialized vapor or manual polishing techniques to remove tool marks and restore superior optical clarity for materials like Acrylic (PMMA) and Polycarbonate (PC).
Surface Roughness (Ra) Reference Guide
Understanding the required smoothness is critical for your project’s success. Use this guide to specify your precision polishing needs
| Surface Finish | Typical Ra Value (μm) | Description & Common Applications |
| Standard Machined | 3.2 | As-milled or as-turned surface with visible tool marks. Suitable for hidden internal components. |
| Fine Machined | 1.6 | Smooth to the touch, minor tool marks visible. Good for standard structural hardware. |
| Commercial Polished | 0.8 | Smooth, uniform finish with no distinct tool marks. Ideal pre-treatment for painting or standard anodizing. |
| Fine Polished | 0.4 | Highly smooth with slight reflectivity. Excellent for decorative plating and high-end consumer goods. |
| Mirror Polished | 0.1 – 0.05 | Flawless, highly reflective, mirror-like surface. Required for optical reflectors, medical implants, and luxury trims. |

Yes, mechanical polishing removes a microscopic layer of material to achieve a smooth surface. For high-precision components, please specify your critical tolerances beforehand so our engineering team can leave the appropriate material allowance during the CNC machining stage.
Mechanical polishing is excellent for improving aesthetics and achieving a mirror finish on visible exterior surfaces. Electropolishing is superior for complex geometries, internal cavities, and achieving ultra-clean, corrosion-resistant surfaces often required in demanding industrial applications.
In most cases, yes. Any scratches, tool marks, or surface defects will actually be magnified after plating or anodizing. A properly polished surface provides a smooth, uniform foundation, ensuring maximum coating adhesion and a flawless final appearance.
Absolutely. As a comprehensive manufacturer, we combine automated vibratory finishing, precision hand-polishing, and advanced electropolishing techniques to successfully finish intricate details, deep cavities, and complex geometries that standard methods cannot reach.
