Felületmunkálás

Felületmunkálás refers to the various processes used to alter the surface of a material. These processes aim to improve properties such as appearance, durability, wear resistance, or adhesion. The specific technique employed depends on the material being treated and the desired outcome. Common methods include grinding, polishing, lapping, honing, sandblasting, and chemical etching. Each of these processes involves removing or altering a thin layer of the material's surface to achieve a particular finish or functionality.

Grinding uses abrasive wheels to remove material and achieve a smooth or precisely dimensioned surface. Polishing utilizes finer abrasives to create a high-gloss finish. Lapping and honing are precision finishing processes that achieve very low surface roughness and high accuracy, often used for sealing surfaces or bearing components. Sandblasting, also known as abrasive blasting, uses high-pressure streams of abrasive particles to clean, roughen, or shape a surface. Chemical etching employs corrosive chemicals to selectively remove material, often used in microelectronics or decorative applications. The choice of felületmunkálás significantly impacts the performance and longevity of manufactured parts.
