Superfinishing with band and stone tools

As with other removal methods, Superfinishing also uses a tool that is brought into surface contact with a workpiece. For example, the overlaying of workpiece rotation and workpiece oscillation causes a single grain to move along a sinus curve which is typical for this process. Through overlay of the individual sinus curves, all the utilized abrasive grains produce finishing marks which cross at a defined angle. The tools are bound abrasives in ceramic materials or on flexible substrates.

Cross-Grinding Superfinishing

The Superfinishing technology also includes Cross-Grinding Superfinishing. With a defined pressure, the rotating tool is brought in contact with the also rotating workpiece. The moving or tilting of the tool axle produces an arched line (when observing the movement of a single cutting grain). In this case, through overlays of the individual arches, all the utilized abrasive grains produce the finishing marks which are crossing radially in a central direction. Cross-grinding Superfinishing utilizes bound abrasives in cup or sleeve formats.
     
Superfinishing - Applications
     
Finishable Materials

Superfinishing is suitable for any material that could also be finished with geometrically undefined blades.In addition to the most diverse metal alloys and grades, other materials can also be finished, such as ceramics, plastics, monocrystalline silica, and non-ferrous metals as well as coatings, such as tungsten carbide, chromium, or copper.
