<unk> and buffing are finishing processes for smoothing a workpiece's surface using an abrasive and a work wheel or a leather  strop. Technically<unk> refers to processes that use an abrasive that is glued to the work wheel, while buffing uses a loose abrasive applied to the work wheel.<unk> is a more aggressive process while buffing is less harsh, which leads to a smoother, brighter finish. A common misconception is that a polished surface has a mirror bright finish, however most mirror bright finishes are actually buffed.<unk> is often used to enhance the looks of an item, prevent contamination of instruments, remove oxidation, create a reflective surface, or prevent corrosion in pipes. In metallography and metallurgy,<unk> is used to create a flat, defect-free surface for examination of a metal's microstructure under a microscope.  Silicon-based<unk> pads or a diamond solution can be used in the<unk> process.<unk> stainless steel can also increase the sanitary benefits of stainless steel.
The removal of oxidization (tarnish) from metal objects is accomplished using a metal polish or tarnish remover; this is also called<unk>  To prevent further unwanted oxidization, polished metal surfaces may be coated with wax, oil, or lacquer. This is of particular concern for copper alloy products such as brass and bronze.
The term chem-mechanical was coined to describe action of corrosive slurry on silicon in a<unk> process. Multiple rotating heads, each studded with silicon wafers, get forced against a large rotating buffing pad, which is bathed in corrosive slurry. Material removal at elevated temperature progresses first through oxidation, then through oxide removal by abrasion. This cycle repeats with each rotation of a head. Potassium Hydroxide and Silox (white paint-base) can be combined with deionized water to form such a slurry.
