Polishing in metalworking is a finishing process that enhances the surface quality of a metal workpiece by removing surface imperfections, such as scratches, oxidation, and roughness. The primary goal of polishing is to achieve a smooth, shiny, and reflective surface. This can improve both the aesthetic appearance and functional characteristics, such as corrosion resistance and ease of cleaning.
