Wire-cut EDM creates microscopically small particles during the cutting process; removing these “chips” becomes a key factor in maximizing cutting speed and attaining part accuracy and surface finish. To be an effective flushing agent, the dielectric fluid must flow freely…
Phosphating Chemical Filtration Solutions Phosphating is a chemical process for treating the steel’s surface, where barely soluble metal-phosphate layers are formed on the base material. The layers created are porous, absorbent, and suitable as a conversion layer for subsequent powder…
Component washing or degreasing is a vital process in the manufacturing process. Inefficiencies in one area cascade affect processes downstream and can amplify even further to become too costly problems. Efficient chemical filtration systems at critical points in the chemical…
Lapping is a machining process used to achieve super-flat surfaces and incredibly tight tolerances on parts that require accuracy at the microscopic level. The lapping operation is more gentle than both superfinishing and honing and removes much less of the surface material. …
In recent years, EDM technology has enabled a higher surface finish quality of the parts produced. This improved surface finish is due to improvements in the process and machine, including improved dielectric fluid filtration. The dielectric fluid has several tasks…
Today, honing operations have taken on a new dimension of accuracy and precision. For example, in double head honing – the honing sticks far exceed the 0.0002- to 0.0003-inch tolerances of conventional honing machines, and it takes that 1 micron…
HSS Grinding Oil Filtration High-Speed Steel or HSS has different characteristics than carbide. HSS scrap does not have the same resale value as carbide; however, unfiltered HSS dust causes the same harm to grinding machines as carbide. HSS dirt tends…
Every manufacturer who grinds carbide tools knows that even a slight nick in the rake angle or an inconsistent surface on your carbide tool can mean that you will have to spend hours on rework which dramatically increases your costs.…
Effluent Treatment Plant for future well being Effluent treatment plants or wastewater treatment plants are the last resort for arresting dangerous effluents being thrown in the open environment. It is like a garbage bin for all process fluids used in…
De-greasing is an essential part of the metal preparation process. A degreaser removes any dirt, grease, and oil on the metal, so there is nothing to attack the paint when it is applied. An even more important process is to…
