No matter what industry you work in, you want to get the most out of your machinery. Making sure your machinery works properly and efficiently is essential to your bottom line. But it can be hard to know exactly how to make sure your machinery is performing as well as possible. Fortunately there’s any easy, effective way to enhance the performance of your machined components – send them to Extrude Hone AFM.
At Extrude Hone AFM, we’ve been helping businesses just like yours achieve maximum efficiency. Industries we serve include:
- Additive manufacturing
- aerospace
- Automotive
- EDM recast removal
- Food processing
- Hydraulics
- Medical
We specialize in making turbines, pumps, dies, molds, gears, and other metallic components run as effectively as possible. If your company utilizes any metallic components, improve outcomes by sending them to Extrude Hone AFM to have their surface finished and perfectly polished – down to the microscopic level.
Here at Extrude Hone AFM, we have perfected our process over many decades. For over 53 years, we’ve worked with industry leaders to achieve exact intended results. Our abrasive flow machining (AFM) process is tailored to achieve precise intended results for each component sent to Extrude Hone AFM. During abrasive flow machining, our specially formulated media flows through the workpiece, finishing and polishing every single surface – even the hardest to reach areas. Abrasive particles – even the microscopic ones – are completely removed when the media is forced through the workpiece using a hydraulic ram. As a result, the media is molded to fit the exact size and shape of the workpiece.
How much material will be removed?
One of the most common questions we receive here at Extrude Hone AFM is, how much material will be removed during your process? The short answer is: it depends. This can be customized according to your preferences and intended results. The rate at which material is removed by the abrasive media depends on the type of material used on the workpiece, as well as its hardness, quality, or density, and the size and amount of passages to be processed. The media also affects the amount of material removed. The media flow rate or speed of each pass, the media carrier viscosity, abrasive particle size, and the abrasive concentration per pound of media.
