Lapping & Polishing
Polishing is a process by which material is precisely removed from a workpiece to produce a desired dimension, surface finish, or shape. Polishing techniques are beneficial due to the precision and control with which material can be removed. There is a wide selection of abrasives to choose from when selecting a lapping and polishing process. Selecting an abrasive is dependent upon the specimen hardness, desired surface finish, desired removal rate, lifetime, and price.
Applications:
The process of polishing materials has been applied to a wide range of materials and applications, ranging from metals, glasses, optics, semiconductors, and ceramics.
