February 27, 2020 - Brush Research Mfg. Co., Los Angeles, announced their newest abrasive choice for the Flex-Hone line. Cubic Boron Nitride (CBN) abrasive is now available for difficult to finish materials like high nickel alloy steels. CBN combines the highest hardness with excellent toughness to provide the optimum surface finish in materials like Monel, Inconel, Incoloy, Hasteloy, Invar and Rene. Flex-Honing is a low pressure, low temperature abrasive finishing process making it an ideal solution in these difficult to finish materials. The tool reduces the work hardened layer produced by machining operations without imparting thermally induced distortion. The resulting surface is less prone to oxidation and stress induced cracking. Sizes from 4mm to 20mm are standard in three different mesh sizes. Additional diameters and mesh selections are available on special order. Other specialty abrasives include Diamond and Ceramic. Standard Silicon Carbide and Aluminum Oxide abrasive in stock.
