Brushing Service

Brushing creates a uniform linear texture on metal surfaces, improving appearance while reducing visible scratches and imperfections. It is ideal for achieving a clean, satin finish on aluminum and stainless steel parts.

Service Overview

CMS provides professional Brushing Services for a variety of materials and precision components. Our brushing process delivers:

  • Smooth, uniform surface textures

  • Consistent finishes for aesthetic and functional purposes

  • Burr removal and surface preparation for subsequent processing

  • Enhanced coating or plating adhesion

What is Brushing?

Brushing is a surface finishing technique that uses abrasive brushes to create a uniform texture, remove burrs, or polish the surface of a part. The process:

  • Eliminates minor imperfections, scratches, and machining marks

  • Produces consistent matte, satin, or directional finishes

  • Enhances adhesion for coatings, paints, or plating

  • Improves aesthetics and functionality of components

Brushing is widely used for metal and plastic parts, including aluminum, stainless steel, and brass, offering a controlled and repeatable finish suitable for both functional and decorative applications.

Brushing is a mechanical finishing process that creates a uniform linear texture on the surface of metal parts, improving appearance while reducing visible machining marks.

Brushing works well on aluminum, stainless steel, brass, and copper. It is not suitable for softer plastics or materials that deform easily.

It results in a satin or directional grain texture, giving parts a premium, visually appealing look often used in consumer electronics and decorative components.

Only minimally. It removes a very small amount of material, but critical surfaces can be masked to preserve tolerances.

Brushing reduces minor marks and uniformizes the surface, but deep scratches may still be visible. Pre-polishing may be needed for heavily marked surfaces.

Yes. Brushing is commonly used before anodizing, plating, or painting to enhance texture and improve visual uniformity.

Absolutely. Brushing is ideal for visible surfaces, such as housings, covers, panels, and consumer product components.

Normal handling will not easily remove the texture, but heavy abrasion or continual friction may soften the grain pattern.

Yes. CMS uses consistent brushing techniques to maintain uniform texture across small batches and large-volume orders.
