If the required finish cannot be achieved by fine grinding<br />
with 400 grit abrasive, the test surface must be polished. Polishing<br />
is generally done with a cloth-covered disk and abrasive<br />
particles suspended in paste or water. Common<br />
polishing media include aluminum oxide, magnesium oxide,<br />
chromium oxide, iron oxide and diamond with particle sizes<br />
ranging from 0.5 to 15 μm. During polishing, it is critical that all marks from<br />
the previous<br />
step he completely removed. If coarser marks do not<br />
clear, it may be necessary to repeat a previous step using<br />
lighter pressure before continuing. Failure to do so can yield<br />
false indications.<br />
