processes polish
and deburr the surfaces of metals.
CARBOCHEM
EFFECTIVELY REMOVE ALL FINE AND SUPER-FINE BURRS FROM
SURFACES AND CORNERS. REDUCTION OF THE SURFACE
MICRO-ROUGHNESS IS ALSO ACHIEVED.
The Processes
The K - 2 CARBOCHEM Process
The K - 2 CARBOCHEM Process deburrs and micro-smoothes parts made of hardened and unhardened carbon steel with a carbon content up to 1.3%, low alloy steel and soft iron. A bright polished finish can be achieved provided the carbon content does not exceed 0.4%. A higher carbon content causes a dark finish. The K - 2 CARBOCHEM Solution operates at room temperature and cooling may be required to maintain the working temperature when processing
components. Under production conditions the CARBOCHEM solution can be loaded with approximately 0.5 dm2(3.88 in2) of component surface area per liter of solution.
The K - 2 ZIRCHEM Process
The K - 2 ZIRCHEM Process
Polishes and deburrs components made of zirconium and zirconium alloys. Operation and application are very similar to the CARBOCHEM Process.
