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.

Caution

  • The surface is 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.
  • As the thread is also hardened, the thread may be damaged depending on the application. Specifications such as “No hardening for the thread only” are not acceptable.

Conditions of Use for Standard Materials (Polished bars and Cold finished material)

If the maximum diameter is applicable for a standard material, the standard material is used at the factory’s discretion and the appearance will be different.

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.
