Are you wondering if surface finishing with abrasive flow machining can benefit your operation? Abrasive flow machining has been around for decades and surface finishing is a great end product of the customizable process. Keep reading to learn more about surface finishing with abrasive flow machining!
What are the benefits of surface finishing with abrasive flow machining?
Surface finishing is one of the main reasons that people use abrasive flow machining. That is because surface finish is critical in any passageway that needs to be performing efficiently and at a high level. It doesn’t matter whether it’s food, fuel, air, or oil running through it. With surface finishing, you can remove the burrs and divots in passageways that would otherwise negatively impact the performance of a component. In addition, surface finishing with abrasive flow machining can also remove flow restrictions and the likelihood of contamination.
What metals can abrasive flow machining be applied to?
Are you wondering if abrasive flow machining can be applied to your components? At Extrude Hone AFM, we can apply our abrasive flow machining process to any metal material. This includes titanium, Inconel, and superalloys. We can even apply our abrasive flow machining process to hardened and often difficult to machine metals like copper, bronze, and aluminum. While our process is very versatile, it is important to note that the surface finish will vary based on the passages and type of material that we are working with.
