Why Cleaning Compounds are important

Cleaning is the primary function of mass finishing and the basis for all finishing operations. In order to efficiently debur, surface refine, inhibit, and dry, the part must be clean. Cleaning is simply the removal of unwanted residue from the part, these residues may be present as dust or particulates, cutting or stamping fluid, die lubes, corrosion inhibitors, oxidation or scale. The cleaning process is primarily a chemical action but is greatly enhanced by mechanical action, i.e., media and equipment.

Why deburring is important

Deburring employs the use of abrasive media to gring away machine lines, belting marks, burrs, sharp edges, slag and establish radius.

Why Surface Refinement is important

Surface refinement lowers rought surface finishes to acceptable standards for plating, polishing, anodizing, and painting operations. Generally, these finishes are measured by a profilometer and expressed in terms of RA, or the average distance between the peaks and valleys on the part’s surface.

Why Inhibition is important

Once the part has been cleaned, deburred, and surface-refined, it must be protected from oxidation and corrosion.
