Stainless Steel
304, 316L, 303, 17-4 PH. Corrosion resistance and cleanable surfaces.
SURFACE FINISHING
Polishing
Improves the appearance of selected surfaces through mechanical finishing.
A refined visible surface
Specify the result you need.
Identify the faces to polish and the intended finish direction or reference sample. Protect critical edges and dimensional features from unwanted rounding.

Material families to review
Alloy Steel
4140, 4340, 42CrMo4. Loaded shafts, tooling and adapters.
Brass
C36000, CW614N. Turned fittings, small parts and decorative details.
Copper
C110, C101. Electrical and thermal conductivity first.
Compatibility depends on the specific grade, geometry and treatment specification. Final selection is reviewed with the project.
A finish belongs
in the drawing, too.
Identify visible surfaces, masking areas, contact points and fits. State whether your dimensional requirements apply to the finished part.
