What is mirrored stainless steel?

Step 1: Remove

 

Use a Norton X-Treme R860 flap disc in grit 80 to remove TIG weld material from your piece. Norton X-Treme R860 flap discs have lower disc wear for longer grinding time, without loss of cut throughout disc life. Alternatively, use a Norton Quantum Fibre Disc in grit 80 with a back up pad. The Norton Quantum fibre disc will not dig in as much as a flap disc and includes a supersize layer to keep the surface cool. 

Step 2: Blend

 

Use a Norton Vortex Rapid Blend disc to blend out scratches from your material removal step. Vortex Rapid Blend discs are made of nylon fibres, and lay the foundations for a bright finish to your stainless steel piece. Reduce the speed to 5 – 6,000 RPM and use slow, even strokes at a 10 - 15 degree angle to impart a consistent matt satin finish.

Step 3: Refine

Use a Norton Rapid Blend NEX disc in 2SF to refine your satin finish and keep the grinder speed low.  The fine grade silicon carbide abrasive and nylon fibres in grade 2SF (soft & semi-conformable), or in grade 3SF(slightly harder & more durable) imparts a finer / brighter finish.

 

By the end of this process, you should have a smooth, bright satin finish – taking the time to remove imperfections at this stage in mirror finishing will make your final stainless steel polishing step quicker and more effective.

Step 4: Polish

 

So, you have refined your workpiece and removed all scratches and imperfections, you are now ready to polish your stainless steel workpiece. Reduce the speed of your grinder to 2-3000 RPM for use with the felt Norton Rapid Polish Flap Disc. Using a white polishing compound block, apply some compound to your felt disc by offering the bar to the disc whilst the machine is running.

 

If the workpiece is still hot from the previous processes you can even apply some compound directly to the surface – the more the better!

Now, applying minimum pressure and just using the weight of the machine to guide you, slowly pass the grinder in regular stokes up and down your surface. This process takes time, and you will need to stop at regular intervals to re-apply compound and check the surface finish – some imperfections you have missed from your refining step might now become apparent, and it may be necessary to go back to step 3 to re-work your workpiece if an extremely high standard is required.
