Abrasive Flow Engineering - Precision Polishing

The EXTRUDE HONE Corporation has developed an array of durable, hard-working media formulations that are capable of producing very precise and highly productive results. Media viscosities vary from 'just below a brick' to materials thin enough to flow at nearly the speed of sound through tiny 0.5mm nozzles. The rheology profiles of the media are just as diverse with some media much thicker at rest than in use, and others that are just the opposite. Abrasive grain sizes range from a fine 1000 grit to 10 grit and larger. All of Extrude Hone Corporation's abrasive medias are remarkable in their ability to flow without clogging or separating, to be stored for long periods without degradation, and to not break down after continuous cycling and working. With over 1,200 installations world wide, the process continues to be widely used to polish, radius or deburr aircraft turbine engine blades, disks, impellers, space shuttle and satellite parts, valves, fittings, hydraulic manifoEds, dies and semiconductors components.
