Finish High Nickel Alloy Steels For Hard to Finish Materials BRUSH RESEARCH For difficult to finish materials like high Nickel alloy steels, Brush Research introduces a new line of Flex-Hone tools using Cubic Boron Nitride (CBN) abrasive. CBN combines the highest hardness with excellent toughness to provide the optimum surface finish. e Flex-Hone tool is a low pressure, low temperature finishing tool making it ideal for finishing applications in Nickel alloy steels. e tool reduces the work hardened layer produced by machining operations without imparting thermally induced distortion. e 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 spec

Nickel alloy steels, or Superalloys, offer a combination of excellent corrosion resistance, strength, toughness, metallurgical stability and weldability. They offer outstanding heat and corrosion properties making them an ideal choice for applications requiring chemical resistance and strength at elevated temperatures. The machining characteristics of these materials vary but all have properties in common which affect their machinability. Nickel alloy steels exhibit properties of high ductility and work hardening that produce a gummy machining behavior. Common suggestions include keeping...
