Deburring

​Of all the applications in the vibratory finishing process, deburring is by far the most widespread. To accomplish this, a mild compound with a neutral pH of around 7.0 is typically used in conjunction with a high-quality ceramic media that can perform a wide variety of deburring tasks.

For mild steel stamping parts, deburring can be achieved with ceramic media in a relatively short amount of time - usually between 30 to 60 minutes. On the other hand, aluminum die-casting parts require a gentler touch and can be deburred using plastic media over a period of 1 to 2 hours.

When it comes to the deburring process in vibratory finishing, the compound used serves a dual purpose: not only does it remove burrs and imperfections from the surface of the part, but it also helps to clean off any residual machining oil or lubricant that may be present.

This can be important in cases where the parts will be assembled or handled, as a neat and clean surface is necessary to ensure proper fit and function. By taking advantage of the deburring process in vibratory finishing, manufacturers can achieve a high-quality surface finish that is both functional and visually appealing.
