Material Selection Guide
Choosing the right pad material is critical for optimal surface finish and sample integrity. Select based on your sample material and preparation stage:
|
Pad Material
|
Pile Type
|
Ideal Applications
|
|---|---|---|
|
Silk Velvet
|
Long Pile
|
Final/fine polishing of hard materials (steels, high‑precision alloys) and soft non‑ferrous metals (aluminum, copper, magnesium).
|
|
Premium Silk Velvet
|
Medium–Short Pile
|
Versatile, durable polishing for steels, electronic circuit boards, and soft metals (copper, aluminum).
|
|
Canvas
|
No Pile
|
Initial coarse polishing; removes significant surface deformation from steel samples.
|
|
Silk Cloth
|
No Pile
|
Polishing of materials containing graphite or fragile inclusions (prevents pull‑out).
|
|
Nylon
|
No Pile
|
Coarse polishing of steels and other ferrous alloys (synthetic fiber construction).
|
|
Woolen Cloth
|
Short Pile
|
General polishing of steel materials (thickened navy wool).
|
|
Synthetic Polymer Pad (Synthetic Leather)
|
—
|
Compatible with diamond, alumina (Al₂O₃), and colloidal silica suspensions. Ideal for final fine polishing of very soft materials (titanium, copper, silver) and mechanochemical polishing (CMP).
