Turbo-Abrasive Machining (also referred to as Turbo-Finish) is a mechanical deburring and finishing method originally developed to automate edge finishing procedures on complex rotationally oriented and symmetrical aerospace engine components. Since its inception this method of utilizing fluidized abrasive materials has facilitated significant reductions in the amount of manual intervention required to deburr large components. Additionally, the process has also proved to be useful in edge and surface finishing a wide variety of other non-rotational components by incorporating these components into fixturing systems. The advantages of this method go beyond the simple removal or attenuation of burrs. The method is also capable of producing surface conditions at these critical edge areas that contribute to increased service life and functionality of parts that are severely stressed in service. Among these advantages are: (1) the creation of isotropic surfaces. (2) The replacement of positively skewed surface profiles with negative or neutral skews and (3) the development of beneficial compressive stress. With multiple sequential operations the process is capable of developing isotropic super-finished or micro-polished surface conditions. The process is characterized extremely rapid deburring and edge-contour generation and is especially useful for finishing rotating turbine hardware and similar manufactured components.
