With the continuous development and improvement of the stone polishing industry, steel wool is more and more widely used in stone polishing maintenance. Steel wool has a grinding and polishing effect on the stone surface. The polishing of steel wool with polishing powder improves the grinding performance of steel wool on the stone surface, which is helpful to further refine the stone surface. In addition, steel wool has soft properties. Even if the stone surface has some unevenness, it can be fine Chemical processing, which is a property not commonly used in steel grinding stones. This property of steel wool is more conducive to polishing curved surfaces and curved panels in stone crafts. The abrasion resistance is better than fibers such as cotton and linen. It has gradually replaced sandpaper and cloth for the surface polishing of wood products, metal products and decoration projects.

Stone polished steel wool

0 # and 1 # steel wool are mainly used for stone polishing, of which 0 # steel wool is used on marble and soft granite, and 1 # steel wool is mainly used for polishing the surface of granite. Before use, the stone surface should be ground flat, and then steel wool can be used for polishing with polishing products. When steel wool moves on the surface of the stone, the surface of the stone can heat up and the polished products can penetrate into the pores of the stone. Fill these gaps and make their surface bright. After polishing with steel wool, the surface gloss of the stone can be increased by 5-10 degrees.

[1] From the analysis of the polishing mechanism, after the steel wool is braided into a packing and made into a polishing disc, the arrangement of the steel fibers in the length direction is different. When the grinding disc rotates, the single-fiber groove effect will not appear in the part in contact with the stone surface. Instead, it has a very small surface scraping effect on the stone surface to further refine the stone surface.

[2] From the analysis of the stone mechanism, the hardness of the stone is higher than that of the granite, and the marble is slightly lower. The scraping effect of the steel fiber is weak. When the stone is polished, its processing volume is also very small. For example, the steel fiber can achieve the scraping amount required during polishing, which will inevitably make the processed surface of the stone thinner and improve the surface gloss of the stone.

[3] From the analysis of steel wool itself, at the same time, when steel wool is polished, the performance of steel wool is soft, and it has good adhesion to smoother stone surfaces, greater frictional resistance to movement, and easy heating and heating, which is also conducive to the formation of some stone materials. A light film thus improves gloss.

Precautions for storage and application of steel wool

[1] Steel wool should not stick to water, and it is easy to rust when there is water, which not only makes steel fibers easy to break, affects the life of steel wool, but also may pollute the surface of stone due to the color of rust and affect the decorative effect of stone.

[2] After polishing, the surface of the board should be cleaned and then stored to prevent the debris of steel fibers from remaining on the surface. It will also cause pollution to the stone surface after rusting.
