What is Brushing?
Brushing is a surface processing method where abrasive belts, wheels, or grinding tools are applied to parts to produce decorative finishes such as straight lines, random lines, or wave textures.
Why Choose Brushing ?
Enhances decorative appearance and premium look
Improves surface texture and reduces glare
Increases wear resistance and masks minor scratches
Provides better corrosion resistance
Prepares surface for further finishing (plating, painting)
Adds value and is widely used in high-end applications
