The Leaders in Abrasive Flow Machining
Serving Businesses Nationwide Since 1971
Extrude Hone AFM has pioneered the application of abrasive flow machining for internal deburring and polishing into dozens of industries. From high-performance fuel and air passages for aerospace and automotive, diesel, and turbine engines to ultrapure fluid handling components for food processing, semiconductor fabrication, and medical applications, to high precision tools and dies, to 3D printed, additive manufacturing selective laser sintered applications. We have developed a remarkable resume and reputation for advancing AFM technology worldwide, improving the performance and efficiency of applications in these fields.
Extrude honing works by taking a non-corrosive and chemically inactive media and utilizing pressure to push it back and forth through a component. The abrasive media changes the surface characteristics of the component as it is forced through the chamber. The rate of removal and final finishing removal depends strictly on the flow rate of the media, the abrasiveness of the media, viscosity, particle density, particle hardness, and workpiece hardness. The process is designed for deburring, polishing, radius, and more.
How much of an increase in horsepower does Extrude Honing make?
Extrude Honing is a process that forces a slightly abrasive putty through engine components via hydraulic power to remove materials from the inner walls. The removal process results in a smooth, polished surface and can improve airflow by approximately 15 percent.
By creating an obstruction-free passage to allow for fuel, air, and gases to pass through the engine more quickly, you can experience a 25 to 30 percent increase in flow capacity. How that flow capacity increase translates to horsepower is largely dependent on the configuration of your equipment, but in automotive applications you can expect a five to 10 horsepower increase on average.
