Bioresorbable zinc alloys are ever more often regarded as promising materials for medical implants and vascular stents since they have a lower corrosion rate in a physiological environment in comparison with magnesium alloys. At the same time, products made of zinc alloys must have a controlled corrosion rate to provide the required time for the re...

Question
I have been doing some corrosion experiments for Ti and its alloys, recently. 
I read the following paper. It is interesting and useful for the pitting morphology investigations. 
Could you explain about the polishing in ethanol which you mentioned in following parts of this paper?
" After samples were exposed to the two environments for 60 h, the corroded samples were cut by a diamond saw to observe their cross sections, and ethanol was sprayed to prevent further corrosion from occurring at the same time. The samples were polished with a series of emery papers to 4000 grit by hand, with continued spraying of 100% ethanol."
"Before doing the EDS test, specimens were hand polished with ethanol using the emery paper, without mounting or applying any alumina suspension."
Why would you do polishing in ethanol?
Is using just water not good for metallic materials?
Is it because of the Mg alloy? How about for Ti? 
Best Regards
