Chemical Polishing of Mirror Finish Aluminum Sheet
As known to all, there are two types of aluminum mirror sheet : polished sheet and anodized sheet. Whatever type a piece of mirror finish aluminum sheet is, its substrate has to go through the polishing process. We have discussed mechanical polishing in a previous article, and here we will deal with chemical polishing. Steps for chemical polishing of an aluminum sheet is as below. 1. Sample preparation: The sample sheet is cleaned. 2. Chemical polishing solution preparation: Chemical polishing solution should be prepared in a beaker. Chemical polishing solution formula should be selected according to the sheet material. Distilled water and chemical pure reagent should be used for the solution. Some water-insoluble drugs need to be heated to dissolve. Hydrogen peroxide and hydrofluoric acid are highly corrosive. Operators should be careful not to injure themselves when mixing them. After the chemical polishing solution is used, the metal ions in t...
