For many Cincinnati, OH companies, abrasive flow machining (AFM) is an integral part of their manufacturing process. AFM is a technique that uses an abrasive extrude hone media to polish and grind away burrs and other surface imperfections that can affect the intended function of a workpiece. It provides an efficient and cost-effective way to surface finish a wide range of parts.
If you are familiar with AFM, then you know that the success of any AFM job depends on the abrasive media, or extrude hone media used during the process.
