Mass
finishing is the general description of the vibrating of abrasive
media around a number of non fixtured parts, moving randomly within
the mass of media. Various types of equipment generate energy which is
transferred through the media to the part being processed. The
transfer of energy and randomly moving parts automates the finishing
process.
There
are a number of variables that affect mass finishing which include:
- Equipment
- Media
- Cleaning
compounds
The
effects mass finishing has on parts include:
- Deburring
- Burnishing
- Pre
plate
- Pre
paint adhesion
- Improving
oil retention on surfaces
- Cleaning
