Platinum rings are polished to reduce weight? There’s some wear and tear.

Platinum rings are often worn after a long period of time, not only will there be scratches on the top of the ring, but also easy to become dull, this time we need to re-sanding and polishing, then platinum rings after polishing will not lose weight?

Platinum ring polishing for weight loss?

The answer is weight loss.

In fact, no matter it is platinum or gold and other materials of jewelry, there will be a certain amount of abrasion when it is physically polished, no matter it is fine sand polishing or grinding wheel polishing, but the weight of the abraded jewelry will not be a couple of grams, but the normal range should be a few milligrams. The normal range of weight loss is a few milligrams. Normal polishing has a normal range of weight loss, depending on the degree of abrasions and scratches.

Platinum ring polishing loss?

Platinum rings are scratched and then polished, there is definitely wear and tear. As for the amount of wear and tear, it’s hard to say, it depends on the depth of the scratches. The platinum ring itself is relatively soft, polished, if often wear or wear ah. Women’s rings will show less wear and tear, while men’s rings and necklaces will show more wear and tear.

How to polish a platinum ring

1.Mechanical Polishing

Mechanical polishing is a polishing method that relies on cutting and plastic deformation of the material surface to remove the convexity of the polished surface and get a smooth surface. Generally, it uses oil stone strips, wool wheels, sandpaper, etc., and mainly operates manually. For special parts, such as the surface of the rotating body, auxiliary tools such as a rotary table can be used, and the method of ultra-precision grinding and polishing is used if the quality of the surface demands are high. Ultra-precision grinding and polishing is the use of special abrasive tools, which are pressed against the machined surface of the workpiece in a polishing solution containing abrasive material, in a high-speed rotary motion. With this technique, a surface roughness of Ra0.008 μ m can be achieved, which is the highest among various polishing methods. This method is often used for optical lens molds.

2 .Chemical Polishing

Chemical polishing is the process of obtaining a smooth surface by allowing the microscopic projections on the surface of the material in a chemical medium to be dissolved in preference to the concave portion. The main advantages of this method are that it does not require complicated equipment, it can polish complex shaped workpieces, it can polish many workpieces at the same time, and it is highly efficient. The core problem of chemical polishing is the preparation of polishing solution. The surface roughness obtained by chemical polishing is generally 10 μm.

3. Ultrasonic Polishing

The workpiece is put into the abrasive suspension and placed in the ultrasonic wave field together, relying on the oscillation of the ultrasonic wave to make the abrasive grinding and polishing on the surface of the workpiece. Ultrasonic machining has a small macro force and does not cause deformation of the workpiece, but the workpiece is more difficult to make and install. Ultrasonic processing can be combined with chemical or electrochemical methods. In the solution corrosion, electrolysis based, and then apply ultrasonic vibration stirring solution, so that the surface of the workpiece dissolved product detachment, the surface of the corrosion or electrolysis near the surface of the homogeneous; ultrasonic cavitation in the liquid can also inhibit the corrosion process, and is conducive to the surface brightening.

How to take care of your platinum ring

1.If scratches are visible to the naked eye, take your platinum jewelry to a qualified jeweler for polishing. All precious metals can scratch, and platinum is no exception. However, scratches on platinum only move the material, it does not lose volume.

2.Please note that over time, platinum develops a natural oxidized surface, so many people may prefer a freshly polished finish. If this happens, take your platinum jewelry to a qualified jeweler and have it repolished to produce an extremely bright finish.

3.Do not wear platinum jewelry while doing housecleaning, gardening, and other types of heavy work or physical activity.
