Porcelain Polishing Media​
Porcelain media is a non-abrasive material used in vibratory finishing processes to polish parts. It is made of dense, vitreous porcelain that is fired at high temperatures, making it hard and durable. Porcelain media is available in a variety of shapes, sizes, making it suitable for a wide range of polishing applications. It can also be used with fine grinding and polishing pastes for surface improvement and the removal of fine scratches. Before use, ensure the porcelain in glazed and keep topped up for optimal performance.
Shapes Available
The smooth, round shape of the spheres minimises scratches and produces a bright, lustrous finish on metal and plastic parts. This is ideal for applications requiring a mirror-like surface finish, such as jewellery, cutlery, and automotive parts.
Cylinder-shaped porcelain media offers a balance between achieving a good overall finish and reaching specific areas on workpieces. They are a versatile option for various vibro finishing applications.
Ellipses excel at conforming to and polishing curved surfaces on parts. This is advantageous for workpieces with contours, bends, or rounded edges.
The three-pointed star shape excels at reaching into intricate nooks, crannies, and small areas on workpieces. This makes them ideal for polishing complex geometries with tight corners, holes, and detailed features that other media shapes might struggle to reach.
Similar to tristars, triangles can navigate into recessed areas and channels on workpieces. However, the sharper edges might be more effective for reaching tighter corners or edges compared to the rounded points of tristars.
