Temps de lecture : 5 minutesA knee prosthesis and a compressor blade have, at first glance, nothing in common. Yet, their manufacturers ask the same question during finishing: how to
Temps de lecture : 5 minutesRun your finger over a part coming out of a metal 3D printing machine: it feels like fine sandpaper. The shape is there, the dimensions
Temps de lecture : 5 minutesHas your part taken on a gray, powdery appearance, sometimes with white spots that won’t come off with a cloth? You are dealing with oxidized
Temps de lecture : 6 minutesWhen faced with a finishing requirement, two families of processes compete: electrochemical polishing, which removes material via an electrolytic process, and mechanical polishing, of which
Temps de lecture : 5 minutesStainless steel mass finishing involves treating stainless steel parts by setting abrasive media in motion within a tank. The process replaces manual rework with automated
Temps de lecture : 5 minutesSuperfinishing refers to the pursuit of the finest surface finishes that a mechanical process can achieve. It is used where conventional polishing is no longer
Temps de lecture : 6 minutesAutomotive surface treatment plays a particular role in the production chain: it comes at the end of the process, when the part has already been
Temps de lecture : 6 minutesMetal burnishing is the finishing step that gives a part its final shine. It takes place after deburring and smoothing, once the surface is already
Temps de lecture : 7 minutesStainless steel polishing is one of the most demanding finishing operations in surface mechanics. Hardness, toughness, and low thermal conductivity: stainless steel resists abrasion, marks
Temps de lecture : 5 minutesMirror polishing of metals is the most demanding finish in surface engineering: it lowers roughness to Ra below 0.1 micrometer and turns a raw part
