With Over 50 Abrasive Flow Media Options, Learn How We Can Help Your AFM ProcessYou can tell when abrasive flow media is low quality when it easily separates or clogs. Here at Deburring & Finishing Technologies, we offer over 50 different expertly engineered types of abrasive flow media to fit the specific needs of your projects.

Determining which abrasive flow media is best for you depends on many factors like the polishing and sizing of the component needed to get treated by the AFM process. Numerous variables make it crucial to have a wide selection of media to choose from so you achieve the optimal result.

The Most Commonly Used Abrasive Flow Media

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
