Vibration Finish(Non-directional finish) on Stainless Steel  

July 31, 2008

Hi, i am a stainless steel fabricator. I am looking forward to develop the vibration finish on Stainless steel Flats. These flats are normally 100mm wide and 4 metres long. Also, the raw finish of these flats is H/R (hot-rolled finish). Can someone guide me how to obtain the Vibration Finish on these kind of surface or normal 2B finish surface. Please advise me if there is some machine manufacturer who can give this kind of finishing machine.

As you should know, a 2B finish is a rolled finish produced by the steel mill. It would be easier to purchase that than to try to duplicate that finish and it would be more costly. A wide belt sander might be able to do the job, but again time and materials would be more costly than to purchasing it as is. There is no acceptable vibratory system that can do that large of a part/sheet.
