Vibratory Finishing Steel Media, Steel Burnishing Media, Polishing Media.
Round spherical steel balls, spheres, eclipses - flat end balls, satellites, ballcones, diagonals, beveled cylinders and pins are the various shapes of steel media which are manufactured by Technocon. These are used in mass finishing processes for burnishing, metal polishing, mirror finishing, eliminating manual buffing and pre-plate applications.
The media are run
in vibratory and mass finishing equipment along with compatible chemical compounds.
These steel media are used for diverse metal polishing applications.
Technocon makes the steel media in different steel compositions - stainless, chrome and carbon steel.
As regards the usage and the results steel media has many advantages over ceramic, plastic media.

Shapes of Steel Burnishing Media
SPHERICAL STEEL BALLSTEEL METAL BALL
Spherical Steel Ball

(Round Precision Sphere)
 
~ Steel balls because of their precise sphericity and excellent rolling action impart terrific luster, close to buffing, on metal components in mass finishing equipment.
~ Metal finishing with steel balls improves component surface and  Ra value which results in  improved finishes after coating.

ECLIPSE BALL ( FLAT END BALL )
Steel Eclipse
(Flat End Ball)

~ Eclipses; round steel balls with slight flattening on the top and bottom ends (at the poles) are recommended wherever exact roundness is not essential, as in many steel media finishing processes. The use of eclipse balls also result in substantial cost savings.

SATELLITE  BALLCONE
Satellite, Ballcone

~ Mass finishing media shapes like steel
satellites, ballcones and diagonals, pins are useful for accessing  grooves, holes, corners, collars and intricate profiles where steel balls cannot reach.

These shapes of steel media
are widely used for jewelry polishing, cast aluminum polishing, cutlery burnishing, steel polishing and other ferrous and non-ferrous metal polishing applications in mass finishing processes.

Applications of Steel Media for Metal Polishing and Mass Finishing
Metal finishing applications with Techbuff steel ball burnishing media (carbon, chrome, stainless, inox steel) are popular for:

Aluminum, Zinc Diecasting Polishing

Coin Blank & Stamping Burnishing

Cutlery and Flatware Mirror Finishing

Electrical Connector Cleaning & Polishing

Jewelry Polishing

And Many More Components -
Steel Bearing Cages, Buckle and Badges,  Handicraft Items, Hinges - Stainless Steel, Orthodental Instruments.
METAL COMPONENTS POLISHED WITH STAINLESS STEEL VIBRO FINISHING MEDIA.
Ferrous, non ferrous metal components polished with stainless steel vibro finishing media.
 
Vibratory Finishing with Steel Media - Carbon, Chrome, Stainless
Techbuff steel burnishing media is used mainly in vibratory finishing machines, tumblers, rotary barrels, harperizers, centrifugal finishing equipment and magnetic  polishers for mass finishing polishing processes.

Steel media, wherever suitable, has many advantages over ceramic and plastic media.

Steel media, in certain applications, can also be used to achieve single stage degreasing, cleaning, light deburring and pre-plate finishing or burnishing.

 Advantages of Steel Media
  • Processing with steel media results in high quality bright finish, rapid action and fast process cycle times.
  • Wear rate of steel media, specially stainless and inox, is nil. Hence, process results do not change, consistent finishes are achieved, constant media replenishment is not required, possibility of media clogging due to reduction in size after wear out is eliminated.
     
  • Steel Media does not get glazed. Hence, finishing quality does not deteriorate with time.
  • Media slurry and foaming is eliminated contributing to faster washability of components and steel media and easy treatment of waste water streams.
     
  • The weight of the steel media results in flattening minor surface irregularities and work hardening the component. This translates into better component lustre, lower coating costs, better plating / coating finishes, higher component strength and life.
