The polishing of the materialographic specimen serves, similar like grinding and after the grinding step, to remove the deformation introduced into the material. For this purpose, the unbound abrasive/grain is applied to special polishing cloths in gradually finer grain sizes. A distinction is made between three polishing processes with different polishing media:
