Expectations for a Chemically-Accelerated Super-finishing Process – Part 2/3
In the previous article, we discussed the fact that chemically accelerated/assisted superfinishing, also known as isotropic superfinishing, was introduced into the gear industry more than twenty years ago. Since that time, it has become widely accept...

ISF Surface Versus Machined Surface
Why ISF® Surfaces are superior to machined surfaced: As the load of the mating surface is increased, the lubrication film becomes thinner, and the asperities of the machine surface contact each other resulting in plastic deformation, metal debris an...
