Abrasive Flow Machining (AFM) is used to deburr, polish or radius surfaces and edges by flowing a semisolid abrasive media over these areas. The process embraces a wide range of feasible applications: from critical aerospace and medical components to high production volumes of parts. AFM can reach even the most inaccessible areas, processing multiple holes, slots or edges in one operation. Advances in media formulation and tool design coupled with new capabilities in processing and automation have established the abrasive flow process as a way of satisfying tough marmfaetudng requirements economically and productively.
