ISOTROPIC SUPER FINISHING




Wherever metals come into contact with each other contact stresses and friction occur. 

Both these conditions regulate and reduce the performance and compromise the design of the component. 

Super finishing is a means of regaining those losses by producing a superfine finish where it is most needed. 

The process is carried out in specially designed vibratory finishing machines. 

These machines are utilised with high density, non-abrasive ceramic media and specially formulated metal finishing compounds.

The combination of problems such as friction, heat, vibration and fatigue adversely affect a range of different components across many industries. 

This proven technology has transformed the performance capabilities of these metal components which in turn has created a number of performance, financial and operational benefits.
