Oil & Gas Industry Parts China produces turned metal components to meet a wide variety of surface finish requirements. Some finishes are available “off the machine” and others will require additional finishing processes. The part geometry and the chosen material will affect the surface finish that may be attained during machining on a [...]
Part 1: Finishing Services that Add to or Alter the Component Surface There are a variety of surface finishing techniques that add to or alter the surface layer of metal for a precision turned component. These finishing techniques can be utilized for aesthetic reasons, to protect the part from [...]
Approximately 30% of the components that Oil & Gas Industry Parts China manufactures for our clients require grinding after the machining process. Standard grinding (both centerless and centered) produces a finer surface finish and/or more precise dimensions than can be achieved during the turning process on a CNC Swiss or CNC Turning Center. [...]
To modify the outside diameter (OD) of a precision machined component, there are two types of cylindrical surface grinding operations that can be used: centerless and centered. Grinding the OD of a CNC Swiss turned component offers several benefits: a smoother surface finish (Ra), a tighter OD tolerance (up [...]
