What does Ra 0.2 µm mirror finishing mean for Automotive & EV motor housing & busbar?

Update Time:2026/9/7

In plain buyer terms

Ra is roughness. Lower Ra = smoother, cleaner, less friction and easier to sterilize or seal. LusterControl reaches Ra 0.6 μm (standard), up to 8K mirror Ra 0.2 μm on stainless. For Automotive & EV motor housing & busbar where thermal flatness & creep at high voltage, that smoothness is often the difference between a seal that holds and one that weeps.

What to ask your supplier

  • Request the Ra value on the print, not just "polished".
  • Ask for a surface-profile trace, not a photo.
  • Confirm electropolishing is done in-house so lead time stays short.
