  • Abrasive Flow Machining (AFM)
    Abrasive flow machining (AFM) passes a mixture of abrasive grain and a high-viscosity carrier media through a part's inner diameter (ID) or internal openings. AFM processes are used to debur, polish, and generate controlled-radius geometry in components. Orbital AFM is used for external finishing
  • Machining with less coolant
    material and is extremely abrasive. In wet machining, silicon is practically always present in the recycled coolant despite filtration systems that eliminate 40- m particles. It's the silicon particles smaller than 40 m passing through filters that shorten tool life. KEEPING THINGS COOL
  • Water Jets Cut Machining Time, Cost
    water-jet cutting with CNC X-Y-Z programming instead. A stream of water with adjustable flow rate, water pressure, and diameter cuts into parts. Plain water cuts softer materials like reinforced plastics and composites. Abrasive media speed cutting or assist in cutting harder materials. Water-jet cutting
  • Microabrasion: Controlling the Process
    There are six key factors involved in the machining process. Each factor is a variable that can be altered by the user in order to produce the desired effect. Each is briefly explained below. Air pressure will directly effect the strength of the abrasive mixture and ultimately, the machine's
  • Waterjet 101
    action takes place as a result of the ultra-high pressure (UHP) water being forced through a pre-mounted waterjet orifice as small as .005 inches. In many applications, an abrasive material such as waterjet garnet is added to the waterjet to create an abrasive waterjet (also known as an abrasivejet
  • Faster, more predictable die casting
    cycle rates. And designers often see a tenfold increase in die life thanks to the low abrasive wear rates of these alloys when compared to their aluminum counterparts. Special die-casting techniques let designers easily modify designs to boost structural properties. To improve creep resistance

  • Guidelines for Filtration
    Material contaminants can exist as gas, liquid or solid. A gas can either be dissolved or entrained in the fluid. A liquid, depending on its compatibility with the fluid, can be free, dissolved, or emulsified. The above types of contamination aggravate the abrasive wear in hydraulic components
