1 Introduction
Microcrystalline stone is a kind of fine and hard stone material which is formed by the combination of various minerals. It is hard, strong and wear-resistant, with a Mohs hardness of 6-7 and a water absorption rate of 0.1-0.3%. It has good physical and chemical properties, making it suitable for interior and exterior decoration, furniture, countertops, monuments and other building materials.
The polishing and plating process of microcrystalline stone is very important for the production of exquisite products. The process is mainly to polish and plate the surface of the stone at the same time, and then to make the surface of the stone smooth, no unevenness, no cracks, and can maintain the style of the stone for a long time.
2 Features and Advantages of Polishing and Plating for Microcrystalline Stone
2.1 The surface of the stone is bright, bright and tidy.
The processing and manufacturing of microcrystalline stone by polishing and plating is a mechanical polishing process, and the technical parameters are strictly controlled. The polishing and plating process makes the surface of the stone bright and bright, smooth and free of burr and dirt.
2.2 The thickness of the phosphating layer can be adjusted
The phosphating process of microcrystalline stone produced by polishing and plating can be adjusted according to the actual needs, and the thickness of the phosphating layer can reach 0.05mm. The phosphating layer can improve the adhesion of the stone and the construction glue, and also enhance the anti-corrosion performance of the stone, which can improve the service life of the stone.
2.3 Good Sealing Performance
The polishing and plating process of microcrystalline stone can make the advantages of the stone fully embodied. After the polishing and plating, the surface of the stone has good sealing performance, and can better prevent dust, water and stain dirt, reducing the difficulty of cleaning and maintenance.
3 Technologies and Requirements of Polishing and Plating for Microcrystalline Stone
3.1 Technical Characteristics
The polishing and plating process for the microcrystalline stone is generally divided into four steps: washing and preparation, grinding, polishing and phosphating. The process should ensure that the stone surface is clean, smooth and efficient.
3.2 Process Requirements
The polishing and plating process of microcrystalline stone should strictly control the technical parameters, select suitable abrasive materials and grinding tools, and improve the polishing efficiency while also ensuring high quality.
The polishing and plating process must be strictly controlled according to the thickness of the product, so that the stone surface has a certain uniform thickness, otherwise it will affect the overall appearance and quality of the product.
3.3 Grinding Tool Selection
According to the hardness of the microcrystalline stone, the grinding tool can be selected correctly. A suitable grinding tool can reduce the time consumption and improve the grinding effect, so that the entire product has a smooth and beautiful surface.
4 Equipment Selection for Polishing and Plating for Microcrystalline Stone
In the polishing and plating process of microcrystalline stone, advanced and efficient equipment should be selected, so that the polishing and plating process can be optimized.
4.1 CNC Edge Grinding Machine
The CNC edge grinding machine is mainly used for edge grinding of microcrystalline stone, and can effectively grind the edges of the stone. The advantage of the machine is that it can automatically recognize different shapes of materials, and realize the grinding of edges of different shapes to meet the requirements of different decoration styles.
4.2 CNC Polishing Machine
CNC polishing machine is suitable for the polishing and plating process of large area of microcrystalline stone. It has the characteristics of high working efficiency, low processing cost and smooth polishing surface. It is an ideal equipment for the flat surface polishing of the microcrystalline stone.
4.3 Automatic Phosphating Machine
The automatic phosphating machine is suitable for the phosphating process of microcrystalline stone products. The strength and thickness of the phosphating layer can be accurately controlled by the automatic phosphating machine, which can ensure the stability of the phosphating performance and extend the service life of the stone product.
5 Conclusion
To sum up, the polishing and plating process is the most important step in the manufacturing of microcrystalline stone. The selection of technology, process and equipment should be made according to the characteristics of the product and the needs of the decoration engineering. The polishing and plating process of microcrystalline stone can make the stone surface more smooth and bright, with good sealing performance and wear resistance, which is beneficial to the decoration effect of the building.
