The function of polishing slurry is to prevent damage to the workpiece surface from unprotected collisions with the polishing abrasive. Therefore, adding an appropriate amount of polishing slurry during workpiece grinding and polishing plays a crucial protective role. Adding a certain amount of water also provides a buffering effect between the workpiece and the polishing abrasive.
Polishing slurry is a liquid substance scientifically formulated from various chemical surfactants. It is non-toxic, non-corrosive, and does not easily deteriorate. During the grinding and polishing process, the use of polishing slurry plays a vital role in enhancing the smoothness of the workpiece surface. Therefore, proper selection of polishing slurry is essential for good workpiece surface treatment. Using polishing slurry correctly will result in a more aesthetically pleasing and smoother workpiece surface after grinding and polishing.
Polishing slurry is only suitable for deburring, removing flash, and removing oxide scale from workpieces. For fine surface polishing, a polishing brightener is required. Of course, if a polishing brightener is added, there is no need to add polishing slurry.
