How to deal with scratches on stainless steel mirror surface?

If you accidentally scratch the 8K (mirror) board, how can you rescue it? If the scratch is not very serious, during mirror polishing, we can slow down the speed of the feed roller and lower the grinding head to grind the scratched area as flat as possible.

It is generally known that mirror stainless steel scratches appear in these situations:

The first is that the plate is scratched before processing; Just not obvious; This requires judging the severity of the scratch. If the scratch area and scratch depth have exceeded the customer’s acceptance of the final product effect, then the plate that meets the requirements should be replaced again, that is, it is very important for the processing operator to check.

The second is that the plate has been mirror-processed, but it was accidentally scratched during the film pasting process. There are many kinds of such scratches, such as point scratches, linear scratches and large-area scratches. Spot scratches, no matter how deep or shallow, can be repaired by argon arc welding, then polished by a grinder, and then processed by mirror polishing equipment for two or more times, which can basically solve this problem.

Deep scratches are not easy to handle. Lishun Stainless Steel recommends that you try your best to avoid scratch areas when processing and cutting mirror panel materials.

In addition, talk about a large area of scratches, scratches, but also divided into two cases of scratch depth, the disposal method is the same as above.

If it is the second kind of scratch, it is more difficult. Because this kind of secondary scratch should be avoided. It is recommended that you reduce or avoid the possibility of scratching the mirror panel by sticking a protective film on the surface of the plate, packing the plate with a wooden frame, packing the plate with cardboard or plastic board, packing the whole plate with waterproof paper, and clearly stating the words “protect the plate surface and don’t scratch it” on the surface of the plate or packaging.
