DBM can produce all of the below finishes on all products regardless of the shape or size. The following definitions correspond to the industry standard as per the American Iron & Steel Institute (“AISI”)

​

No. 3 Finish: A polished finish obtained with abrasives approximately 100-120 grit , and which may or may not be additionally polished during fabrication.

​

No. 4 Finish: A general purpose polished finish obtained with abrasives approximately 120-180 grit.

​

No. 6 Finish: A dull satin finish having lower reflectivity than a No. 4 finish. Buffing may or may not be required. Generally obtained with abrasives approximately 320 grit.

​

No. 7 Finish: A finish that has a high degree of reflectivity. It is produced by the buffing of a finely ground surface, but all of the grit lines are not removed. 

​

No. 8 Finish: The most reflective finish obtained by polishing with successively finer abrasives and very fine buffing. The surface is essentially free of grit lines from preliminary grinding operations.

​

DBM can also produce non-industry finishes such as:

​

Non-Directional Finish: A non-linear, uniform finish free of grit lines created by linear polishing followed by non-directional orbital polishing. 

​

Longitudinal Finish: A non-circumferential finish produced on a pipe or tube.

​

RA Finish: A finish measured by the number of grit lines per micro-inch on a product's surface. Heightened regulations and specifications in different industries demand RA finishes because these finishes can be measured specifically with a profilometer.
