Liquid (Vapor) Honing
The Liquid (Vapor) Honing process is applied to metals for
the following reasons:
- Treat the surface to make it metallurgically clean, prior to
electro-polishing, electro-plating, or other coating processes.
- Remove machining or directional polish lines or marks on such
objects as molds and dies for metal, plastics, or rubber.
- Produce a controlled, microscopically pitted surface to retain
lubricant uniformly.
- Remove microscopic fuzz from cutting edges of tools to reduce flank
wear and tool friction.
- Produce an attractive matte surface.
- Increase tensile strength and relieve stress concentration through
impact.
