ML100 - Polishing Test in Curved Tubes

The following test was requested by a customer who needed to polish metal curved tubes. This customer is a manufacture of metal components for a whole range of industries: automotive, medical devices, aerospace, telecommunications, energy.

This particular test was for medical devices with curved round tubes.

Curved tubes with scotch brite polishing:

The tube before the polishing process had some rust and dirtiness all around the surface. The customer wanted to remove it and some give a shine effect on the surface. He didn't need mirror polishing, just a brighter effect.
Giving this, it was decided to start the tests with a medium scotch brite since the surface didn't had a lot of scratches neither big imperfections to be removed.
