Improve all kinds of metal parts with our highly precise internal polishing in Birmingham AL
Whether you have a metal part that was made by EDM, additive manufacturing, or some other process, it will not have a perfect surface finish. Rough internal passages can lead to big problems, such as impeded flow through the part or even cavitation damage as microscopic burrs break off over time.
Should you just accept these problems?
Of course not. Extrude Hone AFM’s internal polishing in Birmingham AL offers the ideal solution.
After many years of experience, we have refined our abrasive flow machining process to deliver highly precise surface improvements. We can remove a lot of material or a little, but we always ensure we stay within your specs and preserve the geometry of the internal passages. Even the most convoluted passages that could not be reached with a hand tool can be reached and uniformly improved with our internal polishing in Birmingham AL. When we’re done, your part will have the high-quality surface finish needed for optimum performance and durability.
Here’s How Internal Polishing in Birmingham AL Works:
- We find out which passages you want to polish and create a tool that will direct the flow to these passages while protecting other parts of the workpiece.
- We select the right size of abrasive grit that will deliver the amount of internal polishing in Birmingham AL you need. Options range from gravel-like 1000 grit to powder-like 8-grit.
- We mix the grit into the appropriate media, choosing the viscosity and concentration carefully to ensure material is removed from the part at the desired rate.
- We run the AFM process, using a hydraulic ram to pressurize the abrasive media and force it through the workpiece, essentially producing controlled erosion to evenly polish the internal surfaces.
This process is highly customizable and flexible, allowing for precise and predictable internal polishing in Birmingham AL. You can rely on our expert staff to help you select the right options for achieving the desired finish improvement on your part, whether you are working with a hard metal such as titanium or a softer one such as aluminum.
