WHAT IS TRIBOTERMINATION?

Tribofinishing is a method of smoothing

edges and surfaces of parts by immersing
them in a moving abrasive mixture inside a
vat.

EXERCISES

Confidential
CASO PRÁCTICO 1
Caso práctico: pieza de revolución

Case:
AISI 304 steel part
Multiple unfinished edges
External thread
Minimum inner Ø: 24mm
External dimensions: Ø40x70mm
Mainly Wanted Edge Kill

Confidential
 Step 1:
Identify Part Material

AISI 304 is a hard material, so it is a

ceramic abrasive

Confidential
 Step 2:
Choosing the geometry
according to the end goal

The piece we have to work on has

many unfinished edges, so the
appropriate geometry would be:
Triangle
Oblique triangle

Confidential
 Step 3:
Consider the minimum
diameter

The minimum inner Ø is 24mm, to

avoid jams we will use small bodies,
so we will have several options:
501510 0606T or 1010T
501520 1010TA

Compound to be used:
501650 UNI

Confidential
CASO PRÁCTICO 2
Caso práctico: pieza de fabricación aditiva

Case:
Titanium printed part
Very rough surface finish
M18 internal thread on the base
Minimum outer Ø: 30mm
Maximum outer ø: 45mm
Overall length: 80mm
The main aim is to improve surface
quality and finally edge finishing.

Confidential
 Step 1:
Identify Part Material

Titanium has a very high hardness,

so it corresponds to ceramic and/or
porcelain a priori.

Confidential
 Step 2:
Choosing the geometry
according to the end goal

For the geometry and the end goal:

1st. Use a triangular ceramic
abrasive for reburring first.
2nd. Use an oblique cylindrical
porcelain body for surface polishing.

Confidential
 Step 3:
Consider the minimum
diameter

The thread is M18, to avoid jams in

that part we will have several
options:
501510 1010T
501590 0205CA

Compound to be used:
501650 UNI

Confidential
CASE STUDY 3
Case Study: 7075 Aluminum Flange

Case:
Plate made of 7075 aluminium
Poor surface finish
Smaller drill of Ø3.5mm
Dimensions: 120x80mm
Thickness: 4mm
The client seeks to deburr the edges
and improve surface quality

Confidential
 Step 1:
Identify Part Material

Aluminium has a low hardness, so it

corresponds a priori to a plastic
abrasive, although for the surface
finish it would be necessary to use
porcelain abrasive.

Confidential
 Step 2:
Choosing the geometry
according to the end goal

Due to the geometry and the client's

final objective, a pyramidal geometry
would correspond in the first
operation and a cylindrical one in the
second.

Confidential
 Step 3:
Consider the minimum
diameter

The hole is Ø3.5mm, to avoid

jamming you have to choose a
smaller diameter
