Brushing is a surface treatment process that involves utilizing abrasive belts to create distinctive patterns on the surface of a material, primarily for aesthetic purposes. The finish achieved is influenced by the thickness of the abrasive belts, typically ranging between #80-120. While brushing is applicable to a variety of metals, it finds its most common application in the treatment of aluminum.
