The surface quality, dimensional accuracy and processing time to be achieved largely determine the choice of grinding medium. A surface roughness in the range of Ra 0.025 \u00b5m and less is possible through surface treatment. This surface roughness corresponds to an exceptionally smooth finish and is relevant for precision components in the aviation industry and medical technology, among others. Depending on the selected medium, there is a certain removal rate and therefore a processing time that is required to achieve the desired result or tolerance.    <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-915e356 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"915e356\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What post-processing is possible after trowalizing?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a860b05 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a860b05\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Trowalizing is used to smooth the surface of a workpiece, remove burrs and achieve a uniform surface roughness.
