TURBO-FINISH CORPORATION

Turbo-Finish has been used in a wide variety of finishing applications.  The process excels at automating the edge-finishing and surface finishing of a wide variety of part shapes
 

1. TURBO-FINISH FEATURES AND BENEFITS
    

   1. Automation and mechanization of deburring for complex rotating parts. Edge contour, surface-finishing improvement and compressive stresses developed on parts SIMULTANEOUSLY

   2. Manual processes consuming many hours are reduced to automated machining cycles of only a few minutes.

   3. High flow of dry abrasive particles allows penetration of an abrasive action on many difficult to access part areas

   4. Low energy consumption (unlike blasting, peening or other pressure or impact processes)

   5. Low consumable cost. The current track record indicates that abrasive costs per disk are approximately $0.15 per disk for 10 inch disks, and $0.50 for 20 inch disks

   6. The TF technology, in addition to producing a good radius on the feature edges can create an isotropic surface effect. The isotropic surface effect minimizes potential crack propagation points and improves stress equilibrium among part features. All common machining and manual finishing methods produce non-isotropic linear suface scratch characteristics. This contributes to tension concentration of the sharp surface peaks and more likely potential crack propagation

   7. The micro impact of abrasive small particles and a high velocity of the part produce beneficial compressive stresses and also improve the surface integrity and fatigue resistance of many types of critical components

   8. As TF is a cold process, it causes no structural phase transformation on the surface. The TF technology increases the service life from 30% to 100%, depending on the part material (nickel alloy, stainless steel, titanium)
