VAPOR HONING
Vapor honing is an advanced surface finishing technique that combines the principles of traditional wet blasting and vapor technology to achieve superior results in the cleaning and finishing of various materials. This method is particularly effective for components that require a high level of precision and a smooth surface finish, such as automotive parts, aerospace components, and intricate machinery.
The process involves the use of a mixture of water, abrasive media, and a vapor component, which is delivered under pressure. This unique combination allows for a more controlled and gentle cleaning action compared to dry blasting methods. As a result, vapor honing minimizes the risk of damaging delicate surfaces while effectively removing contaminants such as dirt, grease, and oxidation.
ACHIEVE A FLAWLESS FINISH
One of the key advantages of vapor honing is its ability to produce a uniform surface finish. Studies have shown that components treated with vapor honing exhibit a reduction in surface roughness by up to 50%, depending on the material and initial condition of the surface.
In addition to its cleaning capabilities, vapor honing can enhance the aesthetic appeal of components. The process can impart a satin or matte finish, which is often preferred in high-end automotive and aerospace applications. This aesthetic enhancement is achieved without compromising the functional properties of the material, and without damaging the underlying surface of the component.
