Equipment with mirror-finished inner surface performs very well in processing mirror effects on complex-shaped surfaces, especially in industrial applications that require high precision and high-quality finish.1. Equipment principle and working methodElectrolytic polishing: Electrolytic polishing is a commonly used internal surface mirror treatment technology. Through the action of electrolyte, the high points on the surface of the part are dissolved to make it smoother. Electrolytic polishing is particularly suitable for processing complex-shaped internal surfaces because it can remove materials evenly under the action of the electric field, and the processing effect will not be affected by the complexity of the shape.Chemical polishing: Chemical polishing uses the chemical reaction of specific chemical solutions with the metal surface to remove tiny raised parts on the surface and make the surface smooth. This method is suitable for a variety of metal materials, especially for complex-shaped internal surfaces, chemical polishing can be processed evenly, avoiding the limitations of mechanical polishing.Mechanical polishing: Mechanical polishing removes the rough parts of the surface through physical friction. For complex-shaped internal surfaces, mechanical polishing usually requires special tools and methods, such as endoscope polishing, flexible brush polishing, etc. While mechanical polishing can achieve a very high finish in some cases, it may be limited by tool accessibility when processing complex shapes.Laser polishing: Laser polishing uses a high-energy laser beam to locally heat and melt the metal surface to smooth its surface. Laser polishing can precisely control the polishing area and is suitable for the inner surface of complex shapes, but the equipment cost is relatively high.2. Effect of processing complex shaped surfacesUniformity: Equipment with mirror-finished inner surface can achieve uniform finish on the surface of complex shapes. Electrolytic polishing and chemical polishing are particularly suitable for processing uneven and multi-curved inner surfaces because they can remove material evenly across the entire surface, avoiding the problem of local uneven polishing that may occur during mechanical polishing.Finish: With equipment with mirror-finished inner surface, very high finish can be achieved, and the surface roughness (Ra value) can be as low as 0.05 microns or even lower. This is very important for applications that require high-quality surface finish (such as medical devices, aerospace parts, etc.).Non-damage treatment: Equipment with mirror-finished inner surface usually does not cause mechanical damage to the surface of the part, especially when electrolytic polishing and chemical polishing are used. This is particularly important for some precision parts, because mechanical polishing may leave scratches or damage on the surface.3. Applicable industries and applicationsMedical equipment: Mirror treatment of inner surface is widely used in the manufacture of medical equipment, such as endoscopes, catheters, surgical instruments, etc. These devices require very smooth inner surfaces to reduce bacterial adhesion and improve cleanliness.Aerospace: The aerospace field has extremely high requirements for the surface finish of parts. Mirror treatment of inner surface can ensure that the parts maintain high performance and reliability during long-term use.Automobile manufacturing: In automobile manufacturing, mirror treatment of inner surface is used for components such as fuel systems and hydraulic systems to reduce friction, improve efficiency and extend service life.Precision machinery: Precision machinery parts, such as pumps, valves, turbines, etc., can improve their performance and durability through mirror treatment of inner surface.4. Actual casesEndoscope processing: The inner surface of the endoscope needs to be very smooth to ensure imaging quality and reduce the risk of infection. Through electrolytic polishing technology, the complex inner surface of the endoscope can be mirror-finished to achieve a highly smooth surface.Fuel nozzle: The inner surface of the fuel nozzle needs to be highly smooth to ensure the accuracy and efficiency of fuel injection. Chemical polishing or laser polishing technology can be used to mirror the complex inner surface of the nozzle to improve its performance and reliability.Turbine blade: The inner surface and flow channel of the turbine blade need to be very smooth to reduce airflow resistance and improve efficiency. Through mechanical polishing and laser polishing technology, the complex inner surface of the turbine blade can be processed to achieve the desired finish.Equipment with mirror-finished inner surface performs well in processing the mirror effect of complex shape surfaces, and can achieve uniform and high finish processing effects. By selecting the right processing technology and equipment, the quality and performance of parts can be effectively improved to meet the needs of different industries and applications. Whether it is medical equipment, aerospace, automotive manufacturing or precision machinery, inner surface mirror processing technology is a key means to improve product performance and reliability.
