About our process

Extrude Hone AFM developed our patented internal polishing process over 53 years ago, and we continually expand our applications of this process to enhance machinery in many industries in Phoenix, Arizona, and many other cities. What’s especially great about our abrasive flow machining process (AFM) is that it’s totally customizable to meet your exact needs.

At the start of the AFM process, media is pushed through the workpiece, internally polishing it down to the microscopic level. The internal polishing occurs when abrasive particles in the media contact raised positive features on the surface of the workpiece and remove them – resulting in a smooth, perfectly clean surface. Our AFM process achieves precise polishing results because a hydraulic ram forces the media through the workpiece at a customizable rate. The media molds itself to the exact shape of the workpiece, and the most amount of materialsis removed in the areas where the flow of the media is restricted. The flow speed and pressure of the media increases in these restricted areas, resulting in a higher material removal rate. A uniformly polished surface finish is achieved by the pressure exerted by the media on all the surfaces it comes into contact with.

Internal polishing is achieved and the rate at which the material is removed from the surface by the abrasive media depends on these factors:

  • Type of material of the workpiece
  • Hardness of the material
  • Quality or density of the material
  • Size and amount of passages to be processed in the material
  • Media flow rate or speed of each pass or cycle
  • Media carrier viscosity (medium, low, or different combinations of 2 kinds)
  • Abrasive particle size (ranging from 1000-grit to 8-grit)
  • Abrasive concentration per pound of media
