These high temperatures cause wear and over time reduce efficiency and eventually create the need for replacement. By creating a smooth and shiny finish, the Keramo Super Finishing acid free process offered by surface finishing and surface preparation specialist Rősler is said to improve the life and efficiency of moving metal parts which in turn translates into lower operating costs as well as better performance.
The Keramo process offered by the Prescot, Merseyside-based company removes the unevenness of surface roughness inherent in the manufacturing process. By safely removing these microscopic peaks, the process leaves a more uniform surface that reduces friction and allows for increased lubrication capability.
While the dimensional integrity of the part remains intact, the result is an improved component that will operate at lower temperatures, have increased durability, quieter operation and increased uptime. Additional benefits include improved load carrying capacity, lower operating costs, reduced rotational torque and without metallurgical degradation.
The Rősler Keramo Super Finishing process is capable of generating a surface roughness average as low as Ra 0,02µm, facilitating high performance ratings in terms of friction, heat, noise and wear. It has been tested, proven, certified and is currently in use in a wide range of industries such as F1, motorsport, medical and aerospace. It is claimed to be particularly successful on parts that operate in extreme environments.
