RA10 Mirror Finish (Super 8 Stainless)

Ultra-Smooth Mirror Finish for Precision Applications

Key Capabilities

Super 8 electropolished stainless steel
RA10 ultra-smooth finish (under 10 microinches)
In-house cutting through final polish
No intermediate outsourcing
Particle-free handling and assembly
Full traceability and surface testing
Semiconductor and high-purity certification

Magic Metals specializes in RA10 mirror-finish stainless fabrication using Super 8 electropolished stainless steel. From initial laser cutting through final hand polishing, every step is controlled to deliver surfaces with roughness below 10 microinches. Used in semiconductor gas panels, high-purity process equipment, and specialized medical devices, these finishes minimize particle generation and contamination. We handle complete assemblies from raw stock to finished, ready-to-assemble components.

Complete Fabrication

Mirror finish is final step after our laser, machining, or fabrication work.

What to Look for in a Mirror Finish Partner

Material Starting Point

Super 8 electropolished stainless provides the smoothest baseline. Confirm the shop uses this, not lower-grade stainless.

In-House Process Control

Outsourcing polishing to external shops risks recontamination. Prefer shops with in-house final polishing.

Surface Verification

Ask how the shop verifies RA10 achievement. Profilometer readings and frequency of testing should be detailed.

Cleanliness Protocols

Parts must be handled with clean gloves and tools. Ask about the shop's contamination prevention during polishing.

Traceability

Each part or batch should be documented with surface measurements and test results.

RA10 Mirror Finish in the Pacific Northwest

For semiconductor and pharmaceutical equipment requiring RA10 mirror-grade surface finishes, Magic Metals is the Pacific Northwest's go-to fabricator. Operating from Union Gap, Washington, we serve cleanroom equipment manufacturers, pharmaceutical processing companies, and food-grade equipment builders throughout Washington and Oregon. Our ability to achieve mirror-quality finishes in-house, without outsourcing polishing to a separate vendor, gives PNW customers faster turnaround and tighter quality control than sourcing from multiple shops.

Frequently Asked Questions

RA10 refers to surface roughness averaging under 10 microinches. This ultra-smooth finish minimizes particle generation and outgassing, critical for semiconductor and high-purity processes.

Super 8 (electropolished 316 or better) has a smooth electropolished baseline, requiring less mechanical polishing. Standard stainless requires much more work to achieve RA10.

We use surface profilometry, taking measurements at multiple points on each part. Results are documented and provided with your parts.

Welds require careful polishing but can be brought to RA10. Internal corners and crevices are more challenging; discuss your specific geometry.

Prototype and first-article: 2-3 weeks. Production quantities with established geometry: 3-4 weeks.

We work with specialized electropolishing partners for additional material conditioning if your application requires it beyond in-house polishing.
