The Human Touch in a High-Tech World
Hand deburring, sanding, and filling with putty are key steps in achieving high-quality finished metal parts. Hand deburring removes sharp edges and burrs that can cause safety hazards, interfere with assembly, or affect part performance. It ensures a smooth, clean edge that meets tight tolerances. Sanding refines the surface texture, eliminating scratches, tool marks, and imperfections to create a uniform finish that improves both aesthetics and functionality. Filling with putty addresses surface defects such as pits, cracks, or voids, providing a smooth and consistent surface that is essential for subsequent coatings or plating processes. Together, these processes enhance the durability, appearance, and overall quality of the part, meeting customer specifications and industry standards.
Abrasive Flow Machining
Abrasive Flow Machining (AFM) is a precision finishing process used to improve surface quality and geometric accuracy of metal parts. It involves the controlled flow of an abrasive-laden media through or across a workpiece, effectively polishing, deburring, and radiusing internal passages and external surfaces. This technique is particularly valuable for components with complex shapes or hard-to-reach internal contours, delivering smooth finishes and removing microscopic imperfections. AFM enhances performance and longevity of parts used in aerospace, automotive, medical, and industrial applications, ensuring consistent quality with quick turnaround times.
