Microfinishing (superfinishing) is the ultimate abrasive process, allowing users to:
- Remove the amorphous surface layer (thermally damaged) caused by grinding
- Obtain very consistent surface finishes with predictable and repeatable results
- Achieve virtually any surface finish - Ra, Rz, Rt, Rpk, Bearing Area
- Eliminate microscopic burrs left by grinding
- Remove grinding-induced defects such as noise, factettes, chatter
- Improve geometry - roundness, flatness
- Improve part function efficiency, reduce noise and friction
Results:
- Imparts superior surface finishes and geometry characteristics
- Removes chatter and lobing generated from pre-process operations
- Oil seal surfaces created by removing feed marks and creating micro-annular groves.
- Deburrs oil holes creation of
- Removes ferrite caps
- Mirror finishes (Less than .01 Ra um)
- Assures lower warranty costs
- No component "break in" required
- Reduction in oil film thickness
- Lower friction allowing higher performance
- Higher component efficiencies
- Removal of ferrite caps in nodular iron parts
