Will your Abrasive Flow Media increase efficiency?
By being able to re-engineer the media here at Deburring & Finishing Technologies, we can provide you with project-specific media. Having over 50 types of media, we can create the exact product you need. From low-viscosity abrasive media to shear-thinning media, we have everything you require to provide the utmost quality.
Other polishing or grinding processes might not be able to reach difficult locations. Our high-quality abrasive flow media process can reach those difficult spots that may have once been considered impossible.
What are the grit sizes you offer?
We have abrasive materials ranging in grit sizes from 8 to 1200 mesh!
What types of media are sold the most?
- LV-150-1.5 is one of our most widely used abrasive media. It consists of a 150-grit, low-viscosity silicon carbide abrasive, at a ratio of 1.5# to 1# of the total chemistry. Typical applications are aluminum and vinyl extrusion dies for EDM “recast” removal with profile openings of around .020.
- NM-1000-.33 is for small hole polishing/sizing in holes ranging from .005 to .020. Typical applications are diesel spray nozzles and fuel rails.
- HV-54-2 is another popular choice. HV-54-2 has a very high viscosity and is stiff enough for large holes and castings, with a 54-grit abrasive of 2 to 1 to improve the finish in castings and large interior dimensions.
- STM-1200-3 is a gel-like abrasive flow media for diesel spray nozzles, described as a shear-thinning media.
- DIAMOND ABRASIVE FLOW MEDIA is used for polishing hard-to-machine carbide dies.
What is the Media container sizes you offer?
With over 50 different types of media, each one is stored in either a 3 ½ gallon or 5-gallon container.
How can I make my Abrasive Flow Machining more efficient?
By purchasing abrasive flow media that is specific to the project you are working on. Using media that separates or clogs the component is a waste of time and resources—also an indicator you are using the wrong type of abrasive flow media.
