We routinely grind hard and soft materials from 1/4" to 28" diameters up to 144" in length to super-finishes.
We can handle HVOF grinding and other thermal spray coatings, including chrome, offering improved productivity and reduced cost. If you want no CHATTER problems, FINISHES from 110 RA to 1 RA and TOLERANCES to .0002, we can help.
HVOF is the standard abbreviation for a recently new field process called High-Velocity Oxygen Fuel thermal spray service. Among the desirable properties of HVOF is high density, even to a negligible porosity, resulting from high spray-particle velocities produced by a hot combustion-driven, high-speed gas jet.
HVOF spray technology can create grinding and polishing challenges. HVOF is a supersonic process which delivers well over 7000 fps of velocity and can exceed bond strengths of 12,000 psi.
Let our years of experience help with your HVOF grinding and polishing.
