Summary:In buffing stainless steel, it is necessary to decrease defects such as microscratches and improve the finishing efficiency. In this study, the role of the grease contained in buffing compounds was investigated to clarify the mechanism of scratch generation and action of material removal. The grease was shown to have a large effect on scratch generation as the binder that strongly ties buff fibers together and holds grains, cutting chips, and any hard materials present in the processing atmosphere. On the basis of the mechanism, compounds containing fine urethane particles were newly developed to decrease microscratches by inhibition of retention and hardening of grease. A series of stainless steel buffing experiments indicated that the new compounds along with adjusting the quantity of grease maintained good finishing efficiency and reduced microscratches.
