Polishing is a process used to smooth and refine the surface of a material, improving its appearance and functionality. It involves the use of abrasives, chemicals, or mechanical methods to gradually remove small amounts of material, resulting in a smoother and more lustrous finish. Common polishing methods include mechanical polishing, chemical polishing, and electropolishing, each suited for different materials and finishes.

Polishing not only provides a shiny, mirror-like finish but also contributes to better corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and overall surface quality. Polishing is essential for achieving high-quality results in applications where precision and visual appeal are critical.
