Because it is a fusion cutting process in which the metal is melted and cut by discharges from electrodes, the surface is not glossy.

Surface Treatment Quality Standards

23567_10_deEN

Caution

  • Since it is difficult to check the coating thickness for small diameter precision holes, etc., additional machining may be performed after machining, so the surface treatment cannot remain on the cut surface.
  • The surface treatment may not remain on the inside of holes as holes may be masked.
  • Surface treatment suspension and electrode contact marks may remain on the product.
  • To ensure contact for the following applicable surface treatments, at least one hanging shape from (1) to (5) above is required.
  • If there is no feature in the model for hanging the part, a through-hole will be made at any position for hanging.

Quenching Quality Standards

About hardening quality assurance

The hardness value specified is guaranteed and will be measured and confirmed before shipping.

Blast Finish

Grinding finishing (outer diameter)

Grinding finishing (inner diameter)

Caution

  • The surface can be cleaned by sandblasting after hardening. The accuracy is not reduced by this process.
  • The photo shows sandblasting, but in some cases shotblasting can also be used. The blasting method cannot be specified.
  • If there are tolerances for the outer and inner diameters, grinding may be included the finishing process. In this case, the appearance will change as shown in the figure above.
  • Grinding cannot be specified. Whether to grind is decided in the factory under the aspect of quality assurance.
  • The threads will also be hardened. Depending on the application, the thread may be damaged. If you do not want the thread to be hardened, please specify Selective Hardening (Induction Hardening) to select an area that does not include the thread.
  • Hardness measurement marks may remain in areas where surface roughness is not specified or near the center of the end face of the part.  To confirm the inspection points in advance, please add information in the comments and request a manual quote
Induction Hardening

Caution

  • ・Grinding may be performed to guarantee accuracy for tolerances on the outer or inner diameter. The appearance of ground surfaces will be as shown in the above figure.
  • ・Grinding cannot be specified. The factory will determine if grinding is necessary to guarantee dimensional accuracy.
  • ・A hardened depth of 1mm or more into the part surface is guaranteed. The hardened depth may be 1.5 mm or more.
  • ・The hardened depth cannot be specified.
  • ・The Induction Hardening process may also harden edges and surfaces adjacent to the surface specified for hardening.

Caution

  • If it is not included in the standard table, it will be shaved.
  • For others, the raw material is more likely to be chosen as the standard material.

What is maximum diameter?

  • The maximum diameter refers to the largest diameter on the cylindrical surface of the product. (highlighted in light blue)
  • Even if the surface is divided by a groove as shown in Example 3, the surface is recognised as a single element if it has the same diameter.

Applicable conditions for Hexagonal rod

If the distance across the flats of the hexagon matches a standard size, it is processed with hexagonal bar stock and shipped.

Hexagonal surfaces may be scratched because they are stock, unmachined surfaces.

Example (1)

Example (2)

What is the distance across the flats?

The distance between two opposite sides of a hexagon.
