What Types of Brushed Finishes Are Available?

Brushed finishes vary in texture, grain direction, and coarseness. Each type creates a distinct aesthetic and functional effect, making it important to choose the right style based on application requirements.

Straight-Grain Finish 

The No. 4 straight-grain finish is one of the most recognized brushed patterns, widely used on appliances, elevators, and consumer electronics. It forms long, parallel lines created by consistent motion across the surface. This finish offers a clean, modern appearance and is excellent for parts that require a professional, uniform look.

Cross-Brushed Finish

Cross-brushing combines horizontal and vertical abrasion patterns to create a textured, multi-directional grain. This finish is often used for industrial components or artistic applications where a unique aesthetic is required. It also helps hide surface imperfections more effectively than single-direction brushing.

Satin Finish

A satin brushed finish is finer and smoother than standard brushing. It uses higher-grit abrasives to achieve a soft, elegant matte surface. Satin finishes reduce glare and reflectivity, making them ideal for consumer goods, interior vehicle parts, and high-end decorative hardware. XC Machining produces satin finishes that maintain uniformity even on complex geometries.

Coarse Brush vs Fine Brush Options

The coarseness of the grain can be adjusted based on application needs. Coarse brushing produces bold, deeper lines suited for rugged or industrial parts, while fine brushing creates delicate, subtle lines for premium visual aesthetics. XC Machining controls abrasive grit, feed direction, and brushing pressure to deliver precise grain texture.

Custom Grain Designs for Branding or Premium Appearance

Some projects require unique visual patterns for branding or luxury aesthetics. XC Machining can create diagonal, circular, randomized, or flowing grain directions depending on design specifications. These custom textures elevate the appearance of CNC-machined parts used in consumer electronics, jewelry, architectural panels, and specialty product lines.

Questions fréquemment posées

Brossage

  • Does a brushed finish make metal more scratch-resistant?

    A brushed finish helps hide light scratches because the grain pattern masks small surface marks. However, the material does not become physically harder. Instead, the brushed texture makes everyday wear less noticeable, which is why brushed aluminum and stainless steel are common in appliances. 

  • Can brushed aluminum or stainless steel be anodized or coated afterward?

    Yes, brushing can be combined with anodizing, powder coating, or clear-coating to improve durability and corrosion resistance. Many premium products use brushed aluminum followed by anodizing to achieve a modern aesthetic with long-lasting protection. 

  • Will brushing affect dimensional accuracy on precision parts?

    Brushing removes a small amount of material—usually 0.02 to 0.1 mm depending on abrasive grit. For most cosmetic parts, this is negligible. But for precision-engineered components with tight tolerances, XC Machining adjusts machining dimensions. 

  • Does brushing metal increase the risk of corrosion?

    Brushed surfaces contain micro-abrasions that may slightly increase corrosion risk on materials like aluminum if left unsealed. Stainless steel performs better, but sealing, anodizing, or applying a clear protective layer is recommended for harsh environments. 

  • Is brushing suitable for all types of part geometries?

    Brushing works best on flat surfaces, gentle curves, and accessible areas where the abrasive tool can move in a consistent direction. Deep pockets, sharp corners, and complex 3D shapes may produce inconsistent grain patterns.
