• 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...

  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...

• 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...
• Keeping dirt out and lube in
  maintenance. This places substantial demands on machine components, especially the drives. Machine tools, for instance, are part of this trend. The newest machines remove metal faster, have the versatility to perform several machining operations, and offer outstanding productivity. Reduced machining time...
• NET-SHAPE metal parts in one shot
  Investment casting eliminates secondary machining in many cases. A worker at Avalon Precision Casting Co. pours molten metal into a ceramic shell mold. About 99% of metals are airmeltable and can be investment cast without special equipment. Titanium and some Inconel alloys must be melted...
• Magnesium takes on aluminum and steel
  for each additional inch. The largest dimension of the flat surface should be used. Machine stock allowance of 0.010 in. (0.03 cm) maximum is recommended if machining requires extremely tight dimensions. Thixomolding is not as aggressive on tooling as die-cast aluminum and, thus, increases tool life...
