From smartphone housings to laptop exteriors and wearable parts – aluminium surfaces are integral to almost every electronic device. We have put together a flyer that outlines the best polishing compounds and techniques for these applications!
- Use buffing speeds of 50-60 m/s
-
Avoid pronounced surface heating >> otherwise the aluminium lattice structure changes >> negative impact on the result after anodising.
» Use Menzerna high-performance polishing compounds:
- Optimised bond
- Better adhesion to the buffing wheel
- Effective heat dissipation
- For hard alloys: use more greasy compounds
- For soft alloys: use drier compounds
-
Avoid oversized particles in polishing products >> polishing defects only visible after anodising >> high scrap rates
» Use individually developed Menzerna Top-Cut polishing compounds with an adjusted grain size
-
Sanding must not be too coarse >> material preservation >>
shorter polishing times
NOTICE:
Aluminium dust is hazardous to health. An effective extraction system is essential. Aluminium polishing waste is susceptible to spontaneous combustion.
