Save Time & Money by Learning the Secret to Custom Abrasive Flow MediaDoes the abrasive flow media you use easily separate or clog? No longer. Here at Deburring & Finishing Technologies, we have custom-engineered over 50 types of abrasive flow media to perfectly fit the project it is needed for.

Determining which Media is best for you depends on many factors like the required polishing and sizing of the component undergoing the AFM process. Having a wide selection to choose from is widely important due to the many variables that affect the project.

With over 60 years of combined experience, we can guide you to which media is best suited for your needs and budget. Reach out to us at (412) 849-1522 or on our Contact us to get in touch with our team of experts that specialize in Abrasive Flow Media.

A More Dependable Media

Having a fully customized Abrasive Flow Media designed to your specifications will only save your team time and money. No longer will you waste resources by using an inferior media that will consistently clog or separate. You will have the ability to speak to our team of experts and explain exactly what you need and we’ll engineer it for you. Don’t fear choosing the wrong abrasive flow media for your AFM process because Deburring & Finishing Technologies will properly guide you to the correct choice.

Our Most Popular Media

With custom engineering over 50 different types of media, each one is carefully stored and shipped in either a 3 ½ gallon or 5-gallon container depending on your order. Our most popular options include:

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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 hard-to-machine carbide dies.

If none of those seem like a good fit for your project, give us a call and we can work together to expertly craft the media you need.
