Steel template manufacturers, wholesalers, and suppliers: What should be done if there are scratches on the surface of the template?

When there are scratches on the surface of the steel formwork, the following methods can be used for treatment:
Minor scratches
Mechanical polishing: Use fine grit sandpaper, such as 800-1000 grit, to gently polish the scratches and surrounding areas, making the scratches lighter. Then, use polishing paste or abrasive to further polish and restore the smoothness of the steel template surface.
Chemical polishing: For stainless steel templates, chemical polishing can be used. Apply polishing agent to the scratch and gently wipe it with a soft cloth until the scratch disappears.
Medium depth scratch
Polish flat: First, use 200-400 grit fine sandpaper to moisten and gently polish the scratch area. The polishing direction should be consistent to avoid causing new scratches. After the scratch becomes lighter, use a finer grit sandpaper, such as 800-1000 grit, for fine polishing to make the surface smoother. Finally, polishing paste or abrasive can be used for further polishing.
Using metal polishing agent: Apply an appropriate amount of metal polishing agent on a clean soft cloth, then gently wipe the scratch area in a circular motion. The small particles in the polishing agent can fill and smooth the scratch, and its chemical composition can react with the surface of the steel template to form a protective film, increasing the surface gloss.
Deep scratch
Welding filling: For deep scratches, welding filling method can be used. Select welding materials that match the material of the steel template, use professional welding equipment to melt the welding rod and fill the scratch. After welding is completed, use a polishing tool to smooth out the welding point, making it flush with the surrounding steel template surface, and then polish and polish it according to the method of shallow scratch repair.
Use metal repair agent: Select a metal repair agent suitable for the steel template material, apply it evenly to the scratch area, and fill the scratch. After the repair agent solidifies, use sandpaper and polishing agent to polish and polish the surface, making its appearance and performance similar to the original steel template surface.
precautions
Polishing direction: When polishing, it should be carried out along the texture direction of the steel template, which can make the polished surface smoother and less prone to new scratches.
Cleaning work: Before carrying out grinding, polishing and other operations, the dust, oil stains and other impurities on the surface of the steel formwork should be cleaned up first to avoid affecting the repair effect.
Preventing new scratches: During the repair process, the tools and materials used should be kept clean, avoiding impurities or hard particles, to prevent new scratches on the surface of the steel template during the repair process.
Check the repair effect: After the repair is completed, carefully inspect the flatness and smoothness of the scratch area to ensure that the repair quality meets the requirements. If necessary, multiple grinding and polishing can be carried out until satisfactory results are achieved.
