Frequently Asked Questions About Extrude Hone AFM
How Does Extrude Honing Work?
Extrude honing works by taking a non-corrosive and chemically inactive media and utilizing pressure to push it back and forth through a component. The abrasive media changes the surface characteristics of the component as it is forced through the chamber. The rate of removal and final finishing removal depends strictly on the flow rate of the media, the abrasiveness of the media, viscosity, particle density, particle hardness, and workpiece hardness. The process is designed for deburring, polishing, radius, and more.
How much of an increase in horsepower does Extrude Honing make?
Extrude Honing is a process that forces a slightly abrasive putty through engine components via hydraulic power to remove materials from the inner walls. The removal process results in a smooth, polished surface and can improve airflow by approximately 15 percent.
By creating an obstruction-free passage to allow for fuel, air, and gases to pass through the engine more quickly, you can experience a 25 to 30 percent increase in flow capacity. How that flow capacity increase translates to horsepower is largely dependent on the configuration of your equipment, but in automotive applications you can expect a five to 10 horsepower increase on average.
