Having problems with parts distorting in heat treat? Crush Grinding can be the solution!
What are the advantages of Crush Grinding?
- The finish O.D. form can be crush ground after heat treat or nitriding.
- The whole OD form is created at the same time, which establishes consistency from part to part—a real plus where interchangeability is an issue!
- Ground 32 finish or better.
- Eliminates or minimizes burrs by developing break edges or radii on the crush form.
- Diameters of the form are concentric to each other.
- Accuracy and repeatability: diametrical .0005, linear .001.
- Lower cost per part—for example: grind 6 grooves all at once, as opposed to putting 6 grooves in one at time!
- Crush Grinding is not limited to heat treated parts.
- Crush Grinding can also be used on mild steels, brass, aluminum and plastic, as well as chrome-plated parts. In other words, if it can be machined, it is a good candidate for Crush Grinding.
