Surface Finishing Forgings and Castings

Over the years, we have developed and optimised mass finishing processes on various forgings and castings with different finishing specifications, such as the removal of surface defects and flash lines or achieving a surface finish of Ra 0.03 μm. The process benefits of ActOn machinery and consumables include:

·       Significant reduction in roughness

·       Shorter processing time than traditional methods

·       Increased part cleanliness

·       Removal of surface defects and flash lines

·       Corrosion protection

·       Non-part specific

·       Consistent and repeatable results

The finish has been achieved by carrying out a two-stage process in ActOn’s high energy finishing machine. To remove the machining lines the part was processed in Aluminium Oxide and compound. This media was used as it has the properties which allow to deburr parts made from hard metals and sintered carbide. The final stage was carried out using pre-treated agro media which is great for producing a bright finish.
