Mechanical Polishing

Mechanical Polishing is the mechanical smoothing and removal of contaminates. It involves grinding, polishing and buffing of the surface. This process is used to smooth out welds, prepare metal surfaces for electropolishing or provide a surface with a specified roughness. Allegheny Surface Technology employs experienced and highly skilled craftsmen who also have the necessary training to go On-Site.
