ISFP SUPERFINISHING
Using a proprietary chemical bath, abrasive ceramic media, and conventional vibratory finishing equipment. By creating a smooth and shiny finish, the Process increases the life expectancy and efficiency of moving metal parts. Increased life expectancy translates into both lower operating costs as well as improved performance.
Although it leaves a polished finish, it’s important to note the ISF process does not simply polish the gears. ISF offers several advantages over traditional finishing processes like polishing, coatings, and even cryogenics. Its inherent use of vibratory finishing methods removes stress risers produced during the manufacturing process and creates optimum surface roughness. The smooth, uniform (isotropic) finish increased lubrication retention and heat transfer.
Proponents of Isotropic Superfinishing tout these key benefits:
Reduced surface stress
Reduced friction, vibration and noise
Longer component life
Reduction in lubrication temperature
Increased heat transfer
