Abrasive Flow Machining in New York NY

Extrude Hone AFM offers expert abrasive flow machining in New York NY for all your metal parts finishing needs

Depending on the type of metal part in question and the type of finishing needed, you may have a variety of options. But the more complex your needs and the more exacting your specs, the smaller your field of options for finishing becomes.

Fortunately, you’ve found a process that can help at Extrude Hone AFM

Abrasive flow machining in New York NY works kind of like liquid sandpaper, utilizing an abrasive-laden polymer media to essentially erode away unwanted metal from the workpiece. This delivers many advantages for the finishing process:

  • The process can be used on any metal including titanium, Iconel, copper, aluminum, bronze, and other alloys
  • AFM can reach even the most hidden holes, slots, and passages that would be inaccessible to other methods
  • Both roughing and finishing can be completed in one process
  • The entire workpiece need not be finished--we can direct flow selectively using the tooling
  • We can control different variables in the process to meet your exact specs

Uses for Abrasive Flow Machining in New York NY

Thanks to the highly customizable nature of the process, abrasive flow machining in New York NY has many different uses including:

  • Radiussing: Edges of discs and blades can be finished to a high standard to enhance strength and performance.
  • Surface Stress Relief: Without proper finishing,EDM recast layers and other types of fatigue or stress points can lead to crack propagation and premature parts failure.
  • Polishing: With abrasive flow machining in New York NY, every millimeter of the workpiece can be polished evenly to deliver the desired surface improvement.
  • Geometry Optimization: Whether you’re talking about a gas or a liquid, the shape and smoothness of the passage will affect flow. Abrasive flow machining can be used to refine interior passages for better flow and better performance from engines, turbines, pumps, and hydraulic parts. Undersized die passages can also be resized with a high degree of accuracy and precision with our process.
  • Deburring: Burrs of any size can alter flow or otherwise detract from highly precise processes. They are especially problematic for food and medical applications because they can harbor bacteria. Abrasive flow machining provides an easy way to remove burrs and improve surface finishes on even the most convoluted passages.
