Abstract

TAM processes can be easily justified in many types of applications where part size and shape considerations make applying other surface-conditioning technologies difficult. The process deburrs and develops needed edge and surface-finish requirements very rapidly. Significant process characteristics to keep in mind include (1) very rapid cycle times; (2) a high-intensity, small media operation that allows for access into intricate part geometries; (3) a completely dry operation; (4) metal improvement effects; (5) no part-on-part contact; (6) modest tooling requirements; (7) primarily an external surface preparation method—some simpler interior channels can also be processed; and (8) many types of rotating components can be processed—nonrotational components can also be processed when attached to disklike fixtures.
