Ever wonder how you can optimize your abrasive flow machining process? Here at Deburring & Finishing Technologies, we’ve got the answers. Not sure where to start? We’ve got that covered too. You might find some questions you’ve been thinking of below.
How will ordering customized Media improve the Extrude Honing process?
By being able to re-engineer the media here at Deburring & Finishing Technologies, we can provide you with project specific media. Having over 50 types of media, we can create the exact product you need. From low-viscosity abrasive media, to shear thinning media, we have everything you require to provide the utmost quality.
Other polishing or grinding processes might not be able to reach difficult locations. Our high-quality abrasive flow media process can reach those difficult spots that may have once been considered impossible.
What are the grit sizes you offer?
We have abrasive materials ranging in grit sizes from 8 to 1200 mesh!
What are the most popular types of Media?
- LV-150-1.5 is one of our most widely used abrasive media. It consists of a 150-grit, low viscosity silicon carbide abrasive, at a ratio of 1.5# to 1# of the total chemistry. Typical applications are aluminum and vinyl extrusion dies for EDM “recast” removal with profile openings of around .020.
- NM-1000-.33 is for small hole polishing/sizing in holes ranging from .005 to .020. Typical applications are diesel spray nozzles and fuel rails.
- HV-54-2 is another popular choice. HV-54-2 has a very high viscosity and is stiff enough for large holes and castings, with a 54-grit abrasive of 2 to 1 to improve the finish in castings and large interior dimensions.
- STM-1200-3 is a gel-like abrasive flow media for diesel spray nozzles, described as a shear thinning media.
- DIAMOND ABRASIVE FLOW MEDIA is used for polishing of hard-to-machine carbide dies.
What are the Media container sizes you offer?
With over 50 different types of media, each one is stored in either a 3 ½ gallon or 5 gallon container.
How can I make my Abrasive Flow Machining more efficient?
By purchasing abrasive flow media that is specific to the project you are working on. Using media that separates or clogs the component is a waste of time and resources—also an indicator you are using the wrong type of abrasive flow media.
