Grinding on stainless steel

General Characteristics

Grinding is the final finishing treatment of metal, which is performed on the grinding lines. Stainless steel is ground in hot-rolled etched form, in heat-treated cold-rolled etched form, and after cold-rolling. Depending on the grade of the grinder, metal surfaces can be sanded to different levels. Modern grinding lines can grind the surface of stainless steel on both sides, while eliminating various defects in the outer layer.

Grinding technology

In the process of grinding the upper layers of stainless steel are removed properly and evenly on the production lines. Rolled metal materials with visible defects in the form of scratches, abrasions, scuffs, small films, as well as stainless steels, which require improvement of surface category, are ground. According to GOST 2789, the roughness of hot-rolled coils of stainless steel, processed on the grinding line should decrease from Ra 20-10 microns to Ra 1,25-0,63 microns.

Grinding heads

They are used to grind stainless steel. They have abrasive belts with different grit sizes. The grit size of the grinding belts is reduced in the final passes. Cold-rolled steel is ground on the first passes with reduced grit belts.

Test measurement

Carried out before and after grinding the machined strip. The measurement determines the size of the removed material layer. To obtain the required quality, stainless steel may be sanded several times. Much of the quality level of stainless steel grinding depends on proper tensioning of the metal strip on the line. Well-adjusted machines and the use of additional tools offer the opportunity to increase the quality of work and reduce the time spent on the grinding process.

Sanding with abrasive sandpaper

This abrasive material has a cloth or paper backing, on which a coating of different grit sizes is applied. For wet sanding, water-resistant sandpaper is used. The abrasive coatings of sandpaper can be made of corundum, silicon or glass. Surfaces of stainless steel products of complex shape is best sanded with sandpaper on a cloth base, as during processing, it is better adjacent to the curved surfaces. The finest skins are marked "0" and are used for grinding products made of stainless steel in the final stage.
