MECHANICAL

Brushed

Abrasive preparation creates a directional grain on accessible faces.

ENGINEERING DOSSIER

Define brush direction, grain reference, edge treatment and protected features

Brushing is controlled by direction and access

Name the grain direction, transitions and faces that cannot be reached or treated uniformly.

Sequence and substrate evidence

Record the base material, preparation, operation order and any approved appearance reference so the visible result remains explainable.

Acceptance belongs to named surfaces

Use a surface map for cosmetic zones, contacts, threads, fits, masking and geometry-dependent variation.

Release inputs for Brushed

Specify base material, grain direction, target texture, cosmetic zones and protected features.

APPEARANCE AND FUNCTION

Appearance, function and substrate boundary for Brushed

Name the grain direction, transitions and faces that cannot be reached or treated uniformly.

Function: Protection, contact, wear or interface role. Use a surface map for cosmetic zones, contacts, threads, fits, masking and geometry-dependent variation.

DECISION CONTROLS

Protected interfaces and acceptance controls for Brushed

Sequence and substrate evidence

Confirm substrate alloy/grade, condition and any preparation specific to Brushed. Compatibility must be checked against the named base material, not a generic family.

Acceptance belongs to named surfaces

Map cosmetic zones, datums, fits, threads, electrical contacts, seal lands and areas that must remain uncoated or require controlled build for Brushed.

Release inputs for Brushed

Specify Brushed by process/standard where applicable, appearance reference, coverage, masking map, thickness or build requirement if relevant, and protected critical dimensions.

PROJECT-SPECIFIC DECISION DATA

Finish map before Brushed release

Confirm substrate, preparation, appearance/function, protected zones and inspection evidence; do not infer acceptance from the finish name alone.

Decision item	What must be resolved	Evidence at release
Brushing is controlled by direction and access	Name the grain direction, transitions and faces that cannot be reached or treated uniformly.	Reference, texture, color or toolpath
Sequence and substrate evidence	Record the base material, preparation, operation order and any approved appearance reference so the visible result remains explainable.	Protection, contact, wear or interface role
Acceptance belongs to named surfaces	Use a surface map for cosmetic zones, contacts, threads, fits, masking and geometry-dependent variation.	Coverage, masking and critical features
Release inputs for Brushed	Specify base material, grain direction, target texture, cosmetic zones and protected features.	Coverage, masking and critical features

INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE

Inspect Brushed against the named reference and functional interfaces

Inspect Brushed against the agreed sample/reference, coverage and surface zones; verify masked interfaces, thread function, fit-sensitive dimensions and any required adhesion/corrosion evidence.

Geometry, access, edges, recesses and part-to-part variation can affect the result; use a named reference and surface map.

DECISION QUESTIONS

Brushed specification and inspection questions

What must be defined before reviewing Brushed?

Name the grain direction, transitions and faces that cannot be reached or treated uniformly. Record the base material, preparation, operation order and any approved appearance reference so the visible result remains explainable.

Which interfaces need project-specific confirmation?

Use a surface map for cosmetic zones, contacts, threads, fits, masking and geometry-dependent variation. Geometry, access, edges, recesses and part-to-part variation can affect the result; use a named reference and surface map.

What should accompany release?

Specify base material, grain direction, target texture, cosmetic zones and protected features. Coverage, masking and critical features

PROJECT BRIEF

Brushed finish map and acceptance checklist

Use these page-specific checks to define substrate, preparation, appearance or function, protected zones and acceptance evidence for Brushed. Do not release from the finish name alone.

Pretreatment and substrate — Brushing is controlled by direction and access

Name the grain direction, transitions and faces that cannot be reached or treated uniformly. Record substrate and pretreatment on a controlled surface map.

Appearance or function — Sequence and substrate evidence

Record the base material, preparation, operation order and any approved appearance reference so the visible result remains explainable. Attach the named appearance or functional reference used for acceptance.

Masking and acceptance — Acceptance belongs to named surfaces

Use a surface map for cosmetic zones, contacts, threads, fits, masking and geometry-dependent variation. Mark masking, fit-sensitive zones and the inspection record required at release.
