Problems encountered by customers
- An Australian customer pointed out that hand polishing cannot reach the inner corners and blind holes of complex stainless steel parts, leading to the retention of hidden scratches and contaminants.
- Excessive mechanical polishing can cause localized reductions in the thickness of thin-walled parts, resulting in decreased structural strength and leaks.
- High rework rate (28%) and long processing cycles: each part takes 75 minutes to complete, and the surface finish varies between different batches.
Weshining’s solution
- Achieved a uniform ≤0.02 μm Ra finish on all internal and external surfaces, including tight radii and blind holes – eliminating contamination risks.
- Reduced polishing time from 75 min to 10 min per part – 87% faster.
- Delivered 100% dimensional accuracy and first-pass quality, lowering total manufacturing cost by 35% for the client.
