Turbo-Finish and premature fatigue failure prevention and life extension. The elimination of stress risers, and the generation of round edges are used to help extend component life. Rotating parts can especially benefit from the TAM process. Disks and other rotating parts can all benefit from this surface and edge conditioning. Highly finished surfaces also tend to pick up less residual contaminants from operations. and smooth isotropic surfaces generate less turbulent air flow across their surfaces. Additionally, the Turbo-Finish process imparts beneficial compressive residual stress. As critical features of the part are processed simultaneously, it can produce a stress equilibrium throughout the entire part. One of the signature advantages of the process is that it is capable of producing peening like metal surface improvement effects, while simultaneously developing isotropic surfaces and deburring and edge-contouring sharp edged features This combination of surface effects can help extend part life on components by mitigating crack propagation and blend in the positively skewed surface profiles that result from conventional grinding or machining.
