Turbo-Abrasive Machining Turbo-Finish of America Inc. Middlefield, Conn.
Turbo-Abrasive Machining (TAM) processes com- bine high-speed rotation and abrasive envelopment to produce important surface-finish effects on rotating components. Finishing costs on many types of rotating components, such as turbine disks, turbine blades (root forms), gears, impellers, and bearing cages can be cut dramatically while making improvements in both fea- ture-to-feature and part-to-part uniformity. TAM pro- cesses can minimize the manual work required with machining sequences of only a few minutes in an en- tirely dry abrasive operation.

Stainless Steel Media Abbott Ball Co. W. Hartford, Conn.
Abbott offers patented Abcut stainless steel media for mass finishing processes including debutring, burnishing, descaling, deflashing, degreasing, cleaning, removal of die lines, and preplate finishing. The variety of Abbott stainless steel media shapes and sizes can match virtually any product contour Stainless steel lasts longer, while its added weight reduces process times and imparts compressive stress. Abbott’s stain- less steel media offer resistance to extreme pH factors and are especially suited to mom aggressive processes and com- pounds, for faster process times. Stainless steel also reduces media maintenance and eliminates ferrous contamination of food and medical equipment.
