Abrasive Flow Deburring in Torrance CA

Our abrasive flow deburring in Torrance CA can finish metal parts to the most exacting standards

When it comes to manufacturing metal parts, even the most precise methods can leave behind burrs or other imperfections that could impair the integrity of the part itself or the larger system in which it will be used. Obviously this needs to be fixed before you install the part. While there are a variety of different deburring technologies available for this purpose, only abrasive flow deburring in Torrance CA can:

  • Deburr any internal or external surface with a chemically inert media
  • Handle complex arrays of cross-drilled and intersecting holes with ease
  • Work on any type of metal such as titanium, Iconel, aluminum, copper, bronze, etc.
  • Perform roughing and finishing in the same pass
  • Deliver highly precise and repeatable results

How does it achieve all this?

AFM ProcessAbrasive flow deburring in Torrance CA is a purely mechanical process that works by controlled erosion. The first step is to identify the passages or surfaces to be deburred and then create a tool that will direct the flow to these areas. Then, we select an appropriate size of abrasive grit and viscosity of polymer media to carry it. As we force the material through the workpiece using a hydraulic ram, it makes contact with every millimeter of the surface to be deburred, resulting in very uniform removal of material. Our expert staff understands exactly how to control this process by creating the right set of parameters for the job, based on:

  • Type of metal
  • Media viscosity
  • Abrasive particle size and concentration
  • Media flow rate, pressure, and temperature

Now you might wonder…

What are some ideal applications for abrasive flow deburring in Torrance CA?

AFM ProcessAFM Process Abrasive flow deburring in Torrance CA can be customized to the exact specs of just about any project, whether you require aggressive surface removal or just bit of honing. However, it is especially useful for:

  • Aerospace: The abrasive flow deburring process was actually invented for the aerospace industry. At Extrude Hone AFM, we continue to provide abrasive flow deburring in Torrance CA up to the extremely high standards and tight tolerances required for aerospace applications.
  • Automotive Engines: Extrude Hone AFM discovered the benefits of abrasive flow deburring in Torrance CA to improve the efficiency and performance of combustion engines, and today our process is routinely used by major manufacturers like Ford and Cadillac. The most commonly deburred automotive part is the intake manifold. By smoothing all the internal passages in the manifold, our process can improve the efficiency of combustion and reduce emissions.
  • Food Processing Equipment: There are two main problems that burrs present in equipment used to process food: contamination from bacteria trapped on and around the rough burrs, and contamination from the burrs themselves breaking off and mixing with the food product. Extrude Hone AFM’s Ultra Pure deburring process, designed specifically for the food processing industry, can render surfaces so smooth these problems will be a distant memory.
