The school buses are running once again, your kids are out of the house, and you just might be feeling a bit of nostalgia. Do you remember your days at school and how even though there were some first day jitters, more than anything there was a buzz of excitement for that first day of school? You might not want to admit it, but do you find yourself missing the smell of new textbooks, the feeling of cracking open a new notebook, or the thrill of tolling into school on the first day wearing a fresh new outfit? Well, Extrude Hone AFM has a gift for you. We’re taking you back to school with a crash course called Abrasive Flow Machining 101!
Q: What is abrasive flow machining?
A: Abrasive flow machining is an interior surface finishing process. By moving an abrasive laded fluid through a component, the rough surfaces can be smoothed or finished. In addition, abrasive flow machining can also be used to radius components or remove material from them as well.
Q: Is abrasive flow machining known as anything else?
A: Yes, abrasive flow machining is also known as extrude honing. The interior surface finishing process is also known as abrasive flow deburring. While these names can be used interchangeably, the most common names are abrasive flow machining or extrude honing.
Q: How can the amount of material being removed be controlled?
A: By controlling the flow, speed, pressure, and viscosity of the abrasive laden fluid being pushed through the workpiece, the amount of material removed can be controlled. Extrude honing is a customized process that needs to be tailored on a project by project basis for the best, most precise results.
