Satin finishing creates a defined surface texture through multi-stage grinding, e.g., with Scotch-Brite materials. Depending on your goals, the result can appear subtly matte, soft, or technically brushed—perfect for visible parts in machinery and plant engineering, architecture, or product design.

 

Typical applications:

• Claddings made of stainless steel or aluminum
• Visible surfaces of technical housings
• Components for food or medical technology
• Decorative elements in brass or copper

We tailor the method to appearance, haptics, and function.

 

Directional satin yields a linear grain, ideal for large panels and claddings. Circular satin creates a fine radial pattern, e.g., on knobs, covers, or trim—delivering a particularly high-end, technical look.

 

Abrasive choice matters: 

• Abrasive belts produce long, even grain for crisp lines.
• Nonwoven abrasives (e.g., Scotch-Brite) create softer, more homogeneous textures with a lightly lustrous matte—ideal for decorative, visible parts.
• Surface roughness is likewise tuned via media selection.

WF Mechanik adapts satin parameters precisely to material, target texture, and part function—for repeatable structures, manual or automated. On request, satin finishing can be combined with anodizing, painting, or laser marking—for a cohesive, one-stop result.
