  • SCC-205/605: Superior in reducing workpiece temperature, suitable for various metalworking fluids.
Technical Data:
  • Various honing oils and coolants are available for different processes and materials, with specific recommendations for each.
  • Surface finish parameters such as Ra, Rt, and Rz DIN are used to measure and analyze surface textures.
Surface Roughness Parameters:
1. Rz ISO: Measures the average height difference between the five highest peaks and five deepest valleys, ideal for short surfaces.
2. Rmax: The distance from the highest peak to the deepest valley in any of the five sections.
3. Rp: The height of the highest peak above the mean line in five sampling distances.
4. Rpm: The average height of the five highest peaks above the mean line.
5. RMS/Rq: An obsolete definition similar to Ra but results in a value about 15% higher.
6. Rk: Represents the main bearing area of a surface, ignoring the highest peaks and deepest valleys, with Rpk and Rvk defining the magnitude of these peaks and valleys.
Parameter Conversion Formula: To convert a known Ra value to a different parameter, use the formula: Ra x Parameter Factor = Desired Parameter. Example conversions are provided for reference.
Alteration of Honing Units: Honing units may require alterations for specific applications such as short open holes, blind holes, or tandem bores. Alterations involve adjusting the stone and guide shoe lengths to meet specific bore requirements.
Procedures for Alteration:
  • For short open holes, stack parts or adjust stone and guide shoe lengths to be between 2/3 and 1-1/2 times the bore length.
  • For blind holes, provide a relief at the closed end and adjust stone and guide shoe lengths to be between 1/2 and 2/3 the blind hole length.
  • For tandem bores, ensure stone and guide shoe lengths are at least twice the center-to-center tandem distance.
Guide Shoes and Truing Sleeves: Guide shoes are integral or replaceable, with different materials recommended based on the application. Truing sleeves are used to maintain accuracy and parallelism of the honing tools.
Wedges and Runout Correction: Wedges should be inspected and replaced when worn. Runout correction can be achieved through adjustable spindle chucks or mandrel shims.
Honing Performance Information: Operators often inquire about the time required to hone a part, emphasizing the importance of understanding honing performance metrics.
Introduction: This document provides technical guidance on estimating honing times for different Sunnen Honing Machine systems and includes a glossary of terms related to honing processes.
Honing Time Estimation Methods:
  • SH Series Power Stroked Machines: Best for low-alloy steel using a 220 grit CBN/Borazon stone. The honing time is calculated using the formula: Finish diameter x part length x stock removal x honing time factor.
  • Hand-Powered Portable Hones: Uses stones like G25, M27, N37, W47 with Sunnen Industrial Honing Oil. The formula for honing time in inches is: Length x Diameter x Required Stock Removal x 12.5.
  • Horizontal Tube Hone with H70 Stone Sets: Suitable for soft low-alloy steel using H70-A45 stones. The formula for honing time in inches is: Length x Diameter x Required Stock Removal x 5.
Stone Life Estimation: Calculates the number of workpieces producible with a set of stones using the formula: (Final Diameter² - Starting Diameter²) x Length x .03 = Sets of Stones.
Glossary of Terms: This section defines key terms related to honing, such as:
  • Adapter: A part used to fit mandrels to the spindle chuck.
  • CBN: Cubic boron nitride, a man-made abrasive for tough alloy steels.
  • Honing: An abrasive machining process for stock removal and precision sizing.
  • Mandrel: Holds and positions the honing stone and guide shoes.
Technical Data: Includes a hardness conversion table and contact information for Sunnen's global offices.
Conclusion: The document provides comprehensive guidelines for estimating honing times and understanding the technical aspects of honing processes, ensuring efficient and cost-effective operations.
