Wondering whether AFM is worth the cost?

Plenty of people wonder whether AFM is worth the extra investment for their metal component. If you’re on the fence about sending your machined parts to Extrude Hone AFM for extrude honing, we invite you to learn more about our patented process.

Custom media

Something that’s really interesting about our patented process is that no application is alike. We’re not like a factory where everything comes out exactly the same. No – depending on the intended outcome, we can carefully calibrate each aspect of our process to achieve specific intended results. That includes the media. We carefully calibrate every aspect of the media for each application including its viscosity and the rate at which it’s pushed through the workpiece for surface finishing and polishing. We record all of the necessary variables for each application to ensure perfect repeatability if you have more than one workpiece.

Industries we serve

Extrude Hone AFM has been perfecting its patented process for over 53 years, so we’ve really got it down to a science. When you call (562) 531-2976 or email us at info@extrudehoneafm.com to request your free custom estimate, we’ll spring into action to formulate our process to achieved exact intended result for your specific workpiece. We serve many industries throughout the US and other countries including:

  • Aerospace
  • Additive Manufacturing
  • Medical
  • Automotive
  • Food processing
  • Hydraulics

We apply our patented process to many different kinds of machined parts including turbines, pumps, dies, molds, and gears. We also provide EDM recast removal services for molds, dies, and other parts machined by this method.

How much material is removed during AFM?

We frequently receive this question and the answer is – it depends. The amount of material removed varies from application to application. We carefully calibrate how much material will be removed to achieve exact intended results. Because of how AFM, more material will be removed wherever the media is constricted, such as in tight corners or other areas.

Other FAQ questions and answers are organized according to industry here. We invite you to take a look and don’t be shy about asking us your questions by calling (562) 531-2976 or emailing info@extrudehoneafm.com.
