How to remove burrs, oxide scale, and mirror-polish titanium alloy precision hardware parts?
Titanium alloy precision hardware parts deburring, descaling, finishing and mirror polishing process technology method
Titanium alloys are widely used in the medical, photographic equipment, glasses, sports, aviation, military and other industries. Titanium alloy materials are also used in the manufacturing of watch cases and watch strap parts due to their excellent properties such as corrosion resistance, light weight, non-allergenic, slow heat transfer (not freezing cold in winter). The traditional polishing process for the surface treatment process in the manufacturing process is to use a manual emery wheel for mirror polishing. In this case, we will share a titanium alloy watch strap part deburring, descaling, mirror polishing and brightening process technology and methods in high-efficiency . This mass finishing process solution is also applicable to deburr, descale, derust, chamfer and mirror polish other materials such as steel, stainless steel, alloy steel and other precision hardware product parts or titanium alloy surgical instruments, medical devices such as artificial joints, bone plates, screws, cardiovascular stents, dental implants and other processed parts.

5. Additional instructions
-
In order to improve the batch processing capacity, the rough finishing and polishing machine adopts a vibratory polishing machine, and the batch processing capacity can reach tens or even hundreds of kilograms. Titanium alloy has high hardness, so the heavy finishing uses silicon carbide ceramic media with higher cutting force than heavy-cut brown corundum deburring media, which can achieve the effect of quickly removing burrs and oxide layers.
Fine finishing uses light-cutting precision tumbling abrasive media, cone-shaped plastic media with fine abrasive grit to further reduce surface roughness. - After fine finishing, use a mirror polisher and mirror polishing material to enhance the brightness and mirror polishing effect.
6. Final summary
- In this case, we demonstrated the process solution of automated deburring and descaling of the outer surface of a titanium alloy watch strap component to achieve mirror polishing.
