SURFACE ENGINEERING
Updated 995 days ago
The REM ISF (isotropic super finishing) is a procedure that can be personalized for every batch of engineered metal components. Sizing, condition, metal makeup, design as well as other modifications are taken care of on a batch-by-batch basis. Which means, prior to a price is estimated, every batch need to be tested... Basically the REM ISF process is a surface engineering procedure that strips the peaks on the metal surface producing a smooth surface. This is different from a coating process like electroplating which fills inside the valleys to create a smooth area. In coatings, another sort of metal is added in, in this case, it breaks off at some point so REM ISF doesn't do it like the coating process. So, it's the base metal and that is the reason why it doesn't pit and do not have those issues since once you place something on top of metal, it at some point will break off... Viewing REM ISF to metal surface hand polishing is the best way to think about this surface engineering..
